While the upcoming delegation of Indigenous leaders and Canadian bishops travelling to Rome next month to meet the Pope in Rome is an “important, outward and public sign of a commitment to healing and reconciliation,” Catholics must look inward to answer the call to true healing, said Cardinal Thomas Collins.

Reconciliation will be the major theme for the annual Cardinal������Ƶapp Dinner in the Archdiocese of Toronto on Nov. 23.

The COVID-19 pandemic is an opportunity for Toronto Catholics to “go deeper” into their spiritual lives, Cardinal Thomas Collins told thousands who gathered before television and computer screens for the most unusual Cardinal������Ƶapp Dinner in over four decades.

You could be forgiven for cursing COVID-19 because it is robbing Toronto Catholics of yet another opportunity to gather and celebrate. But John Ecker doesn’t think that the pandemic forcing the annual Cardinal������Ƶapp Dinner online Nov. 5 is so bad.

As Alberta debates a private member������Ƶapp bill to protect conscience rights for doctors and other health care providers, Ontario������Ƶapp government is saying little about a lack of protection for doctors forced to provide referrals for assisted suicide, abortion and other procedures.

In a speech that touched on religious freedom, conscience rights, euthanasia and Christian persecution, Cardinal Thomas Collins evoked the life of St. John Henry Newman to urge people of faith to be courageous in the face of “an aggressively secular society.”

The “cold shadow” of euthanasia is spreading, warns Cardinal Thomas Collins.
