Someone just emailed to say that LifeSiteNews is in real financial trouble. My correspondent didn't even say "Sister, do you have a dime?" He just asked me to blog on their financial plight, and I said yes. He asked me to tell other bloggers like Andrew Cusack, and I said yes.
LifeSiteNews fights the good fight for the rights of unborn babies, the disabled, the aged and women who don't want to share their bathrooms with men dressed like women, and it collects a lot of news items of interest to Catholic and other Christians that you can't easily find elsewhere. It is quite unabashedly pro-traditional this and that, and it blew the lid off the Development & Peace scandal, which my Canadian readers may have heard about.
LifeSiteNews is more-or-less associated with The Interim, [actually, not so much now. Not for a decade or so. Paul Tuns never calls, never writes...HJW] Canada's pro-life, pro-family print newspaper, which has managed to stay in print for so many decades, I'm starting suspect divine intervention. LifeSiteNews is also, IMHO, the most wide-reaching, influential thing the pro-life movement in Toronto has ever done, and I know what I'm talking about. It also employs Hilary White, who is a very good writer, I must say. She's got a tongue that could shave a hedgehog and has denounced me once or twice, but the woman can write.
If you happen to have $5 or more that you can spare on a needy internet newspaper, I suggest you send it to LifeSiteNews.
Gosh! I'm blushing.
Yep. It's that time of year again. When we engage in what I like to call our Keep Hilary in Tea and Biscuits campaign.
It's a matter of public safety really. I have had many people shudder at the thought of what sort of damage I could do if I were out there
LifeSite, in fact, does something no one else in the world does. We have pioneered the work we do and have come a long, long way in ten years. But as you can see, there is still a long, long way left to go.

Related questions (which I can't answer to my satisfaction), the answers to which would illuminate "a whole lot":
1. Why is almost all the big money - e.g., Buffett, Gates, Soros - found among the ranks of our cultural oponents?
2. Where has all the former Catholic money and influence gone?
3. Why, currently, are there so few rich and financially powerful conservative/traditional Catholics (who are willing to ante up)?
GJJ
1) the devil is rich.
2) haven't you been reading the news?
3) when you find one, let us know.
