Bill C-51 passed in the Senate 49-17, with 26 abstentions, and has received Royal Assent.\r\n\r\nCatholic Watch\r\n\r\nLocal priest and vicar of Catholic education Jerome Lavigne claims the rainbow flag flown at city hall earlier this year is the work of none other than Satan. \r\nWe learn, despite the gag order on the trial, that Cardinal Pell has been convicted on charges of sexual abuse of minors and plans to appeal the verdict.\r\n\r\nAt the Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse in Britain, Cardinal Vincent Nichols professes shock that a vicar ordered a predatory priest be warned of an impending arrest to flee justice. Is he serious?\r\n\r\nTwo nuns working at a California school embezzled half a million dollars and go on a Las Vegas gambling spree. One can just picture them stuffing g-strings at Chippendales. \r\nAlberta Health Minister Sarah Hoffman is feeling the heat of public outcry over Covenant Health’s de facto veto over patients’ right to access medically-assisted dying services and is now reconsidering the exemption given to Covenant Health. Keep up the pressure, folks!"}
