“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

ARCHBISHOP RICHARD SMITH'S BLOG POST ABOUT ASSISTED SUICIDE NEWS CONFERENCE

In four months Canada will enter a new phase of killing the most
vulnerable human beings in its midst: state sanctioned assisted suicide across the land. For forty-seven years Canada has been providing taxpayer funded abortion on demand. A woman can have an abortion for any reason at all or no reason whatsoever and have as many abortions as she wants -- all paid for at taxpayer expense (regardless of whether taxpayers object).

Effective June 2016, tax funded, state sanctioned assisted suicide is coming to a community near you (if you're a suicidal Canadian). 


The Most Rev.
Richard Smith
In anticipation of this last development in Canada's culture of death, the six Catholic Bishops in the province of Alberta issued a statement and held a news conference on January 11th in the Alberta Capital city of Edmonton.[1] Along with other stake-holders, I was invited to participate in that news conference. Archbishop for the Archdiocese of Edmonton, The Most Rev. Richard Smith wrote about the news conference on his blog here http://archbishopsmith.blogspot.ca/2016/02/filled-with-pride.html
