Why are all the churches burning in Canada?
PM plays both sides…
Pope Francis?
Any special advice to Catholics in Canada?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has given Canadians mixed messages on the fires, calling them “unacceptable and wrong” on the one hand, while on the other calling the motive for the attacks “real and fully understandable.”
A Harris administration might feel obligated to supply the matches to warm things up a bit based upon her ****love**** of all things Catholic.
Someone who might be worth checking out (so as to recommend him to the curious) goes by “The Traditional Thomist” on YouTube. He’s a member of Generation Z. He doesn’t like click-bait titles regarding the Pope (pro and con) or other typical “social media Catholic” drama, but he likes explaining and discussing Catholic dogma and practice. Anyhow, I stumbled upon his “channel” the other day and thought it was worth a look.
Fr.J, I agree about “Traditional Thomist”. He was a member of my parish, and an altar server, at least until Rome forced our bishop to shut down the two Sunday TLMs we had. He’s a great guy and I also highly recommend his YouTube channel.
