I will continue to write and speak about the innate value of all human life under the lordship of Jesus Christ, whether anyone cares or not.

This blog deals with issues pertaining to natural dignity and worth that all humanity deserves under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It deals with topics pertinent to Christian living and faith.
“Our once great western Christian civilization is dying. If this matters to followers of Jesus Christ, then we must set aside our denominational differences and work together to strengthen the things that remain and reclaim what has been lost. Evangelicals and Catholics must stand together to re-establish that former Christian culture and moral consensus. We have the numbers and the organization but the question is this: Do we have the will to win this present spiritual battle for Jesus Christ against secularism? Will we prayerfully and cooperatively work toward a new Christian spiritual revival ― or will we choose to hunker down in our churches and denominationalisms and watch everything sink into the spiritual and moral abyss of a New Dark Age?” - Mark Davis Pickup

Up until 1991, I worked for the Canadian federal Commission promoting employment equity in the workplace for Canadians with disabilities. One of the worst of offenders of disability employment discrimination was the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).

A monstrous notion has
become law. Assisting in the suicides of sick and disabled Canadians is legally
permitted. It is now a new right … the right to death. The pied pipers of this
new right use misleading euphemisms such as medical
assistance in dying (MAID). A more accurate, precise and honest description
of this new reality is medical killing.
Freedom of conscience
and religious expression is under direct attack abroad and at home. As I have stated before, Catholic hospitals
and medical professionals have no choice but non-compliance with any aspect of
medical killing. Our faith unequivocally prohibits it. There are dark days
ahead but we must stand firm against this utterly corrupt law. Instead we must
offer life-affirming alternatives to euthanasia and assisted suicide.

In my little corner of the world, it seems anti-life bigotry is alive and well. According to LifeSiteNews.com (LSN), the small farming town of Westlock, Alberta recently banned a pro-Life float from their annual community parade. Pro-Life views were not welcome. (Westlock is seventy miles north of my community of Beaumont, Alberta.)![]() |

Someone may be thinking, "What's the big deal? It was small town parade in a remote community out in western Canada." Injustice is injustice no matter where it happens. The rights enshrined in Canada's Charter, and the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Articles 18 and 19) apply to everyone. The universal human right of conscience and religious belief, and their expression, are universal -- no matter how small or where they are applied.
