I was too busy and distracted to write a post re. Canada Day, but I feel that having started a aggregator devoted to

Canadian Catholic blogs

this year I am entitled to a one-year pass on this.

The real name of this post is:

The Top Ten Reasons why the U.S.A is still better than Canada

and here they are (in no particular order):

1. No Quebec.

2. No NDP.

3. No Justin Trudeau.

4. Freer educational system.

5. Freer economy.

6. Freedom of speech.

7. Americans like Obama less than we do.

8. More Americans than Canadians are concerned about personal freedom, freedom from governmental control.

9. Greater pro-life mentality.

10. No CBC.

One of the many miracles that Saint James the Apostle performs

Thumbnail

“Un dos moitos milagres que Santiago Apostol fai,” Galicians would say in their native language: the 900-year-old Codex Calixtinus was found by Spanish police forces and a judge with apparently not even a (new) scratch. The great medieval work had been stolen nearly one year ago from the archives of the great Cathedral of Saint James the Apostle in Santiago de Compostela. It was found in a garage in the nearby town of Milladoiro wrapped in newspapers and plastic bags surrounded by tiles and bricks. It has now been returned by the police to the Archdiocese. (Several sources, including the Telegraph).

The Vatican newspaper,

L’Osservatore Romano

, reports on the Holy Father’s meeting

with a delegation sent by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I. The group was received on the eve of the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul.

The Pope expressed the hope that progress may be made “to arrive soon at the blessed day when we will be able to share in the Eucharistic banquet.”

He recalled the importance of the Second Vatican Council in the development of ecumenical dialogue, which inspired the Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras and the Pontiffs John XXIII and Paul VI. They “made themselves champions of courageous projects that led to renewed relations between the patriarchate and the Catholic Church.”

For this very reason the Pope asked the members of the delegation to convey to the patriarch “sentiments of fraternal affection and deep gratitude.”
