A new directive in Canada will prevent military chaplains from publicly quoting the Bible, leading prayer, or citing God. Yet, the state-endorsed religion, shown by the LGBT flag, seems unaffected. Remembrance Day for the war dead is going to be a travesty.
This is crazy. Reminds me of the Canada Michael D. O Brien speaks about in his novels. He knew what was coming. Like the Roman empire wanted all the gods all equal and not one absolute. This is even worse. You can’t even name one of them, especially the True God.
I'm an ex-patriot born in Canada but raised in the USA. Canada was not always like that. My late Grandparents were conservative Christians who lived peaceable amongst their neighbors as taught in scripture, however, like the US, evil people have crept in thru the decades undermining their Christian foundation. The population is being replaced by imported illegals. People that have no loyalty towards Canada.
Your words are somewhat harsh but perhaps true, however, the can be said about millions of people in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and the UK.
Western nations are going thru white genocide. The culture is being erased!
You are correct. But oin the USA, thee are still some states and pockets of people resisting the evil and there have been some wins. Here in Taxada, the vast majority, well over 95%, don't have a clue and most of them are adamantly in favour of supporting the evil that is going on and consuming the West. Even many who call themselves "conservative". Proof? Justine Turd-duh, easily the worst PM that has ever held power in this now worthless country, has been re-elected THREE TIMES in the last 8 years, and still holds power because more than 2/3rds of the country actively supports all the radical leftist parties in the country, and there is NO "right leaning" alternative other than the PPC which gets about 2% support of the voting public. Even Pierre Poillievre who is gaining support as the next PM if we ever have an election again, still supports most of the leftist mantras including "climate change", homosexual "rights", transgender ideology and gun control among many others. He's just the lesser of evils but even if he is elected, it's too late to save this country. And you are right... the entire Western world is actively collapsing. Freedom will be completely gone from the entire planet within a decade. We will all become slaves.
You have to keep in mind he was "re-elected" only to run a minority government. He barely got 30% of the vote in the last election and that's only because Elections Canada "lost" just enough votes for him to keep a toe-hold on power. He rules like an unchallenged dictator because of the highly questionable coalition with the Marxist NDP. In fact, the fact that his minority government hasn't fallen is proof that the system has been fixed...minority governments do NOT last this long.
Yes, it is entirely the fault of this idiotic parliamentary system that this could even happen. But you are also correct that the majority of Canadians seem to be content with all of this, ESPECIALLY after what happened over the COVID non-demic. Too many Canadians were perfectly happy to have the so-called "leader" of this country openly vilify people who refused to get the shots (that he is personally invested in).
Pierre stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Trudeau when it came to imposing medical dictatorship on this country. He's another WEF cut-out. But already certain Canadians are trying to make him into another Trump, going as far as saying Pierre will "Make Canada Great Again." It's just a big football game.
Same as in the states, generations of Marxist indoctrination is proving successful. The masses are voting against their own interest & even for the genocide of the greatest race.
Excellent article Sarah. I have just finished a book called "To Raise The Fallen" which is a selection of war letters, prayers and spiritual writings from Fr. Willie Doyle, S.J. who was killed in battle in August 1917 during WWI. In his letters from the front he describes giving last rites and absolution to the many young men who were killed in the war. He didn't bother to ask their faith tradition, nor I'm sure did the dying men who weren't Catholic care that a priest was praying over them during their final moments on earth. It's tragic that we have lost our moral compass and we are more concerned about offending someone than we are for our own salvation, and denying these men who have dedicated their lives to their ministry from sharing God's message of mercy.
In 1644, Samuel Rutherford, a Scottish Presbyterian minister, published anonymously the influential book entitled, Lex Rex (The Law and the Prince). Born in 1600, Rutherford was a child of the Protestant Reformation and a Calvinist. But as the Reformation played out socially and politically in England, Rutherford had also seen significant political disruption and injustice. This experience, along with his religious convictions, led him to affirm the controversial view that “the law is king,” not earthly monarchs and authorities. How controversial was this view? Even a decade after Rutherford had published Lex Rex, Louis XIV of France affirmed his own absolute authority as monarch by saying, “L'État c’est moi” (The state, that’s me). Rutherford’s view stands in direct contrast to Louis XIV claim that monarchs possess the unqualified divine right to rule. Instead, Rutherford argued, tyranny is never from God; consequently, Christians have both the right and the duty to resist tyranny. In fact, resistance to tyranny is service to God, which echoes the response that Peter and the apostles in Acts gave to the Sanhedrin, which had commanded them not to teach in the name of Jesus: “We ought to obey God rather than men.”
Whether Rutherford’s political philosophy is entirely correct is something about which Christians may argue. But Scripture does contain a pertinent narrative that illuminates Rutherford’s claim that resistance to unrighteous tyranny is service to God. The Book of Daniel tells of Nebuchadnezzar setting up a golden idol on the plain of Dura. He called the officials and rulers of Babylon to the idol’s dedication, demanding that when the music sounded, all should bow down and worship the idol. Refusal to obey the command would mean instant death. This was certainly a religious event, but such events in ancient times were also quite political. Nebuchadnezzar’s order was intended to show Babylon’s power to tell even its notable citizens what deities to worship and when to worship them. Arguably, this command placed the Babylonian state above deity. When the state presumes authority over God, Rutherford tells us, the state forfeits its legitimate right to obedience and deserves resistance as service to God.
Hananiah (Shadrach), Mishael (Meshach), and Azariah (Abednego), who had been taken into captivity, along with Daniel, when Babylon took Jerusalem, had been given the best education Babylon could offer and then made government officials under the King. Nonetheless, the exiles from Jerusalem refused to bow down as commanded. This was a direct insult to the King and his authority. Despite the pagan names they had been given by Babylon, they were virtuous young men who worshipped faithfully the God of Moses and would bow to no other deity. But Babylon had renamed them with pagan names honoring pagan deities and had given them positions of authority; consequently, Nebuchadnezzar expected them to obey his command, not the commands of a deity whom he thought he had discredited by military conquest. Though infuriated, the King even gave the three men a second chance, but they still refused to obey. So Nebuchadnezzar exercised the state’s authority to have them condemned to a burning death in Babylon’s great furnace. In a divine rebuke, however, to the state’s attempt to impose its will over divine authority (as celebrated in the well-known song), God walked with these young men in the fire, preserved their lives, and humbled the King of Babylon.
For both Christians and Jews, the Hebrew meanings of the names of those who defied Nebuchadnezzar are of some interest. Hananiah means in Hebrew “God has favored.” Mishael means “Who is like God?” Azariah means “The LORD is my helper.” The pagan names Babylon gave to these three young men were designed to give them an identity in conformity to Babylonian culture and to subvert the young men’s original faith. For example, Abednego (the name given to Azariah) means “servant or slave of Nego,” who was the Babylonian deity of writing and vegetation. These imposed, replacement pagan names are similar to the Chaplaincy Service insignia replacing the identifying religious symbol on each chaplain’s scarf. There is a chilling message here. Instead of obeying their religious convictions, chaplains are now expected to obey government orders. Their new scarves brand them to do so, even if such orders demand that they refrain from praying in public, an order that echoes the command signed by Darius of the Medes and Persians. Daniel refused to obey that command, and his disobedience resulted in his being thrown into the lions’ den. Again, God stood with faithful obedience, prevented the lions from hurting Daniel, and humiliated the pretensions of government authority. My question is simply this: as recommended by Rutherford, will we see in the ranks of the Canadian Armed Forces Chaplaincy Service resistance to tyranny; that is, will we see in response to a tyrannical government usurping divine authority any Christian or Jewish resistance similar to the courageous resistance exemplified in Scripture by Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah? Or will we see the meek surrender of religious liberty by Christian and Jewish clergy to a Canadian state that presumes to place itself over both personal religious conscience and the authority of God?
Remembrance Day was desecrated by the Legion in 2021 when they demanded "vaccine passports" for veterans to even attend the events. That was the sign to me that we are utterly fallen and conquered by an outside agenda.
I vividly remember wanting to move to Canada when I was a young adult, not that long ago. How glad I am today that I did not. Thank you for this article. I hope you get your country back one day.
So much of the clergy today is onboard with Marxist wokeism & the alphabet people's agenda. The Catholic charities actively aid & abet the illegal invaders. The US commiecRats are bringing them in by the tens of MILLIONS to ensure one party rule & the Church wants to replenish its dwindling numbers.
The clerical garbage won't even plead to dispense Christians from opeying the order to bow their heads in "reverence". At least hte directive provides clarity: Canada is no longer a Christian Democracy, it is a province of a satanic empire.
Maybe the chaplains can recite the “Sparkle” revision to the Lord’s Prayer. Wouldn’t that be so special? And their stoles can have a little twinkle star on them, instead of the cross, Star of David or crescent.
Well said. Well Written. Well spoken. Nice work, and all so sadly true.
This is crazy. Reminds me of the Canada Michael D. O Brien speaks about in his novels. He knew what was coming. Like the Roman empire wanted all the gods all equal and not one absolute. This is even worse. You can’t even name one of them, especially the True God.
Canada is evil because canadians are idiots.

I put this on Minds platform.
Sad, truly sad. I hope no one tells all those Canadian boys and men who lie resting just across the Channel. Or their comrades from other places.
Shame on Canada.

My first response would be that Priests and the congregations should go on strike and not attend any church that adopts theses practices.
For a more controversial point who is really driving all thes destructive policies , religion being just one?
Please investigate AshcaNAZI JEWS, they are Satanists who were thrown out of south west Russia centuries ago.
Without G_d…. Their military will fail… Badly.
I vividly remember wanting to move to Canada when I was a young adult, not that long ago. How glad I am today that I did not. Thank you for this article. I hope you get your country back one day.
