Comments Off on Assisted Suicide: A Duty to Kill?, Blog, Jeff Patton, by CGP.
Back in early February 2015, the Canadian Supreme Court decriminalized physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. The court insisted that to do otherwise would mean that citizens would have a duty to live. This current Supreme Court reversed its previous 1993 decision on this same subject, and instead launched a “right-to-die” revolution in Canada’s legal policy that involves: 1) abandoning the idea that every human life is always a good to be protected, 2) while substituting the concept suicide and euthanasia can be accepted as a social good and as a personal autonomy right, and 3) removing the law’s obligation to protect the weak and vulnerable.

Comments Off on April Fools – Patrick and the Quartodeciman Controversy, News, Videos, by CGP.
The Catholics and Protestants both lay claim to the legacy of a man they call St. Patrick. But does history bear witness to their claims? Or was the man named Patrick in a battle against the orthodoxy of his day, and a proponent of a scripturalist Christianity, and a supporter of the biblical holy days?
The Quartodeciman Controversy began with the apostle John’s fight against the Bishop of Rome as documented in scripture and history, but it did not stop there. Several centuries later the spiritual descendants of the apostles were once again contesting the authority of Rome. This is their story, the story of Patrick and the common Celtic Church, and their scripturalist tradition inherited from the apostles.

The Greatest Issue of Our Time? Inequality Slavery?
Is the world’s growing inequality the new de facto slavery of our time?
Target, the American mega-chain retailer, failed in its expansion plans in Canada and recently announced that they are closing all of its 133 Canadian stores and laying off about 17,600 employees. But Target’s Canadian liquidation is not the news I want to write about, rather it’s something more shocking than a mere business flop.
It seems the fallen CEO of Target’s Canadian subsidiary will get a total severance and benefits exit package from the home office worth about the same as the total amount being offered to all 17,600 of the chain’s Canadians employees. Now that’s a golden parachute!

The Foolish Mistake of the West: Peaceful Islam?
In the aftermath of the recent Islamic jihadis attacks in France, many Western liberals still don’t get it. They don’t get the implication or meaning of what’s behind the on-going, widespread conflicts between Islamic jihadis and anyone who doesn’t buy into their fundamentalist version of Sunni Islam–which, by the way, is widely taught and vigorously sponsored especially by Saudi Arabia throughout the world.Yet, I hear practically endless pontificating by liberal media about how Islam is a peaceful religion that is all about brotherly love just like the other major religions.

Where Have All the Good Leaders Gone?
“Of all the predictions to be made about 2015, none seems safer than the idea that across the great democracies people will feel deeply let down by those who lead them…. The levels of unpopularity and disengagement in the West have now risen to staggering levels… with the numbers of those fed-up [Americans]… climbing above 80%” [higher than during the notorious Watergate incident of the early 1970s in which the U.S. president was revealed for what he was: a crook, a liar, and an all-around small-minded vulgar bully], (Economist, “The World in 2015,” Nov. 21, 2014). I was struck by the Economist magazine’s end-of-the-year lead editorial. In many ways it is prophetic.
