You Don't Say...

I was reading through the Province Newspaper today and I came across an article written about some insights that the Cardinal of the Province of Quebec shared with Rome. To our amazement, he has observed that the decline in Quebec's social and economic reforms has a deeper link to their spiritual life. It was an interesting article and if you want to read it click away...

One thing that I would have said differently is that the decline of Quebec (crisis of values) did not happen because the people lost their sense of heritage/culture and turned to crime and civil disobedience; but because they turned away from God and from following his word. There is a "crisis of values" and it is that crisis which is at the root cause of their loss. Until they return to Jesus and the word of God they will like the rest of Canada, continue to spiral down into further moral decay. May we pray for a revival in Quebec and the rest of Canada as well. Especially as we go to the polls.
