This is concerning:

“Carney’s display of his Catholic faith Tuesday stood in stark contrast with a heated debate about the value of state secularism that played out an hour later at the Supreme Court of Canada.

Where Carney quoted from the Gospel of Matthew and from Christ’s Sermon on the Mount to talk about the grace and generosity that politicians should channel, Quebec’s lawyers argued religious beliefs should not be on display by public officials, saying the state should be neutral, and public services delivered without signs of any religious belief.”

While we all know Quebec’s ‘secular’ law is really about maintaining the dominance of the Catholic Church and suppressing the right of anyone else to practice competing faiths, I’m more concerned about our sitting Prime Minister invoking religion as a guiding principle for governance.

This feels like an entry-point for Christo-fascism.

Mark Carney invokes Christian values as top court told religious beliefs don’t belong in government

On the same day Quebec vigorously defended its law promoting state neutrality and secularism in government, Prime Minister Mark Carney declared religious values can and should frame how politicians act.

@crispius
Has Mark Carney ever spoken out about the international catholic pedophile ring? Asking about pedophile protection.
@NMBA @crispius In Canada there is no meaningful statistical difference between sex abuse by a priest or a teacher. I know the former people like to latch onto for their own reasons and it makes for great jokes and halloween costumes but.. in the town I grew up in, the molesters were a french teacher and a scout leader. The priest? He knocked up his secretary.
@mark @crispius
Got a ref for that equivalency?
@NMBA @crispius I'll try to find it, I had read something about this some time ago - it wasn't (and I'm not) defending the catholic church. I do recall though, that it was comparing male teachers and male clergy.
