Merry Christmas,..btw four priests on the french side should get a life!

Merry Christmas Fr Anctil! Amazing how the Resurrected Christ can speak all languages but in Quebexico He has to comply with the norms of the office de la langue francaise. First off, without going into specifics, has anyone been to a french parish? Well,..excepts for a few elderly patrons it seems to be devoid of any kind of life whatsoever. Yup,..the 'Spirit of Vatican II' is alive and well in those parishes whereby heterodoxy is preached as if it were dogma and marxists run amok disguising themselves as advocates for social justice. It would be like attending a policy meeting of Quebec Solidaire. People,.. I think that when it concerns matters of faith,.we need to be as inclusive as we can. (caution; Lefties who read this should not see this as an endoresement of political correctness, but an invitation to common sense.)

The Church's history in Quebec came to a climax with Maurice Duplessis, a premier often skipped when the french school system is speaking about Quebec. You see, Duplessis together with the hierarchy in Quebec (notice my words...)ruled Quebec with an iron fist. Oh yeah, he never really won any constituancies on the island of Montreal,..but that's another story. Influencing voter tendencies with parish priests from there pulpit saying things such as 'Le ciel est bleu,..L'enfer est rouge!' (Heaven is bleu, hell is red)had an enourmous impact upon les Canadiens Francais. Although they complain about not being in power especially in the work force, the reality is that most off the island could not read. Then of course came the quiet revolution, and with it the demise of Quebec clericalism, replaced by a false nationalism replete with marxist socialist undertones. To any Quebecois (which btw doesn't exist but I'll humour you...) read the writings of Pierre Bourgault and compare them to Rene Levesque. It is coincidental, that this period saw the end the of Vatican Council II, especially Pope Paul VI's 'humanae vitae.' (For more dark satire check out Quebec's divorce and marriage rate compared to the rest of Canada.)...Oh well,..I've ranted, but I think you get my point,..the world is coming together, yet some gang of separatissss want to pull it apart. As far as Quebec's culture being protected,..you don't have to suppress another culture in order for your own to flourish. Ask yourself the question, would Quebec's french face thrive on its own without Canada protecting it? (Section 33 of the constitution 'Notwithstanding clause'...)Imagine an isolated Quebexico, which BTW wouldn't just walk into Nafta having to refuse foreign investment because of a lack of french character?,..Yeah, good luck! Go tell a bunch of little kids that no more McDonalds, Six Flags(La Ronde) and american music because it does not comply! What currency will we use? Where's the army? What are our borders?

All this rant because four idiot priests put their foot in their mouth. Don't like english? Fine. Another excuse to go back to latin. This post is erratic, I know my ADD kicked in early.

Ciao.

Buon Natale

C'mon people some freakin' Common Sense!...Please!

Okay so I've been away for a while, meaning that I haven't blogged in a little over a week. Well, there are two primary reasons for this. One Christmas shopping is something that I look forward to as much a root canal,..and secondly, I've been studying...While during the day I pose as everyone's favorite muscle bound theologian and marketing guru,..at night, I nurture these muscles by engaging in weight training and core exercises. Aside from keeping my body in shape, it has also served to preserve my sanity to no end. The stress of everyday life can emotionally find itself an outlet with people who engage in drinking, drugs or other vices,..while I have tried to turn this into a positive,..err...somewhat.

Back to my prospective exam. Without going into the specific company or governing body that will administer this exam, it will take place in early January and will consist of both multiple choice and practical questions. The theory I am not worried about, however the essay might prove troubling as it will involve a potential case study and my approach to it. I plan on writing a blog post when I am done giving some harsh criticism which offend a lot of personal trainers. Oh well,..(gotta get back to studying...) lol!!!literally!

God Bless,..

Obama snubs Harper, still more fallout from Pope's invitation to Anglicans....Challenge Issued.

It would seem an eternity since I last blogged or at least commented upon something of merit going on? But why? I'm sure we all lead mundane lives and reading the newspaper can account for a great number of us suffering from high blood pressure,..(yes, even at 32!). Oh well, two things are sticking with me this week. The first is the fact that Barrack Obama (the high priest and pseudo messianic figure of liberalism himself...) has snubbed Prime Minister Harper regarding a phone call to international leaders while pledging to commit an extra 30 000 troops to Afghanistan. Our local AM Radio station CJAD(the voice of disgruntled angry anglophones)was awash with an onslaught of the elderly. Was it justified?,..Your freakin right it was! We as Canadians lost troops in Afghanistan and were very much involved,..I think the President should receive a letter from the parents of all those dead soldiers to remind him of his brain fart. The funny thing is how the lefties will try to spin this one!

On a second note, I had a conversation with someone regarding the Pope's invitation to traditional anglicans. This individual pointed out to me that this was a step backward in ecumenical relations and the Pope should be more pastoral and respective of other people's 'faith traditions' whatever that meant. The funny part was that this individual is Catholic! (you know the 1960s progressive kind...)Anyway after absorbing this verbal diarrhea for a few minutes and feeling the need to go to the bathroom (number 2...) I began to mount my defense, at which point I was cut off, (information will always be received by the mode of the receiver...) and promptly informed by this individual that I was narrow minded and practised a type of 'Pope-idolatry.' Weeeellll,..the only thing I learned from this 'dialogue' with a liberal, is that it wasn't a dialogue, it was instead a monologue. People, the 1960s are over, it is time to get back to basics, soooo this individual reads my blog, doesn't have the courage to comment, so I'll make it easy for ya! I challenge you to a debate, whereby the money raised will go towards an authentic social justice issue. This debate will be moderated, so that I can get my points in (does that scare you?) and whereby the winner won't be the one who yells loudest, but the one who puts forth the most logical (Logos) arguments. IF you accept, (which I doubt you will) I would gladly promote it. I have kept your information private, but it seems that if you have an opinion, it should be defensible.
