I get so many emails from women in their early twenties worried that they will never get married that I find myself saying again and again, “You can become too old to be a mother, but you will never be too old to get married.”This is meant to be bracing and comforting, but it also reluctantly points to a harsh biological fact.

Queen’s Park rally demands end to taxpayer funding of abortion Published: Tuesday, April 9, 2013, 1:57 pm | Author: Paul Tuns Print This Article Tagged with: Defund Abortion More than 350 people braved the elements to urge the government to stop using taxpayer dollars to fund abortion.Despite wind, sleet, and temperatures of minus six, more than 350 people attended the Defund Abortion Rally organized by Campaign Life Coalition Youth at Queen’s Park on March 19.While the crowd was small at the start of the noon-hour event, causing concern among organizers, it quickly grew during the presentations of the first two speakers.The event opened with Campaign Life Coalition’s Jack Fonseca presenting 560 petitions from constituents in Ajax-Pickering to their Liberal MPP, Joe Dickson. Dickson thanked Fonseca for the petitions and noted that they will now be part of the “permanent record in the province” and urged the crowd to “keep up the good work.”Fonseca told The Interim it is good to give pro-lifers a chance to see “their elected representatives face-to-face” because their presence encourages them: both the show of support by the elected official to the crowd but also the reinforcement by the movement for members of provincial parliament

Pope Francis I Wednesday afternoon in Toronto, we had just completed a meeting of the Ontario Priests Commission (after the close of the Winter-Spring 2013 Plenary Assembly of the Catholic Bishops of Ontario (ACBO) when the television monitor showed white smoke. Bishops and priests were awe-struck that the election had come so quickly (on a hunch, I had been predicting white smoke for Thursday morning).Realizing it would be almost an hour before the announcement would be made, I headed back to the Cardoner Jesuit Community where our young Jesuit scholastics reside while engaged in First Studies after their Novitiate and First Vows (philosophy, theology and social sciences or other disciplines)–the kind of community of which Father Borgoglio had been superior in Buenos Aires.I joined the Jesuits in the recreation room where they were awaiting the announcement of the Pope’s identity and name.
