What’s in a name? That’s a question Catholics often ask after a new pope is elected.

One of his first official acts of a new pope is to choose a name. Deeply symbolic, the name often reflects the pope's values or spiritual inspirations.  

Matthew 18:15

"If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over."

1 Peter 2:12

Mediocrity is fast becoming the byword of our times. Every imaginable excuse is now used to make it acceptable, hopefully preferred. Budget cuts, time deadlines, majority opinion, and hard-nosed practicality are outshouting and outrunning excellence. Those forces seem to be winning the race. Incompetence and status quo averages are held up as all we can now expect, and the tragedy is that more and more people have virtually agreed. Why worry over the small stuff? Why bother with the genuine now that the artificial looks so real? If the public buys it, why sweat it? 

The Winnipeg Jets responded with urgency in Game 2 of their second-round playoff series, taking an early lead and maintaining control throughout a 4–0 win over the Dallas Stars to even the series at one game apiece.

The Jets played much more like the Jets of the regular season, and that goes for Connor Hellebuyck as well. He would end up stopping 21 shots on his way to a shutout. It's his fourth playoff shutout of his career, and his first since 2021. Hellebuyck now has a record of 18-1-1 in the last 20 home games.

Five men have been arrested following a targeted sweep by the Winnipeg Police Service’s Counter Exploitation Unit (CEU) in the city’s West End.

On Thursday, May 8, the CEU—supported by East District Community Support Units—conducted the operation in response to multiple community concerns, according to a release from the WPS.

Police say that officers arrested five men between the ages of 27 and 53 for obtaining sexual services for consideration. All were released on undertakings, as outlined in the Criminal Code.

For Ken Sky, illusions aren’t just tricks or sleight of hand—they’re a tool to spread joy, spark curiosity, and, when appropriate, share the Good News of Jesus.

“An illusionist performs sleight of hand, does tricks, and we use that skill to create an illusion of something to make people laugh, wonder, think,” Sky explains. “Just like music is used to inspire people, to make them think and celebrate, illusions can be used to tell a story—to entertain and disconnect people from the real world for just a moment.”
