Russian Tourists Face Deportation After Reading Bible at Hagia Sophia: Russian tourists Igor and Viktoria Filonov were detained in Istanbul after reading a passage from the Bible while visiting the upper gallery of Hagia Sophia. The couple was transferred to a migrant detention center. Turkish authorities investigate the "case" under a law related to "incitement to hatred".

Weil sie in der Hagia Sophia aus der Bibel lasen, landete ein Paar im Internierungslager. Und die Türkei ist ganz sicher noch eines der „fortschrittlicheren“ muslimischen Länder.
Das also als kleiner Vorgeschmack, was uns in einem islamisierten Westeuropa drohen wird.

das ist der Islam, kein Zugeständnis für Christen auch nicht das Kleinstes, aber Forderungen von Moscheen, Straßengebete und vieles mehr, in ihren Gastgeberländern.

While traveling through India, a man passed an elephant camp and suddenly stopped, puzzled by what he saw.
The enormous animals were not kept behind steel bars or restrained with heavy chains. Each elephant was held by nothing more than a thin rope tied around one front leg.
It was obvious that these powerful creatures could have snapped the rope in an instant and walked away. Yet none of them even tried.
The man noticed a trainer nearby and asked, “Why don’t the elephants break free? Surely they’re strong enough.”
The trainer smiled.
“When they are very young and much smaller, we tie them with ropes just like these. At that age, the rope is strong enough to hold them. They pull, struggle, and try to escape, but they cannot.”
“Eventually, they stop trying. As they grow larger and stronger, they continue believing the rope is more powerful than they are. They never test it again.”
The man was stunned.
These majestic animals were capable of freeing themselves at any moment. The rope was …More

Mark Lambert: Priest mocked the Tridentine Mass, bishop applauded. In this clip, Professor William A Thomas tells us about the time when he attended a presentation during discussions surrounding synodality in which the Traditional Latin Mass was criticised as "theatrical" and its faithful described as mere "spectators."

Just shows that these bishops/cardinals actually understand nothing. They are ignorant imbeciles.

Mir kommt es so vor, dass in der NOM jeder anwesende Gläubige etwas vor aller Augen tun will um zufrieden und glücklich nach Hause gehen zu können. Da ist kaum noch einer bereit, still Zeuge des Opfers Christi zu sein!

Why Did the Institute of Christ the King (ICRSP) Not Take Over the Church Notre-Dame-du-Lys?

The Archdiocese of Paris had planned to withdraw from the chapel Notre-Dame-du-Lys by June because of the cost of repairing the aging buildings - €1 million in the short term and about €3 million over the longer term.
The proposal would have abolished both, the Novus Ordo and the Latin Mass that are celebrated in the Church. The Sunday Latin Mass drew around 150–250 faithful, while the Wednesday Latin Mass was dedicated to young people.
Following strong opposition from parishioners and supporters of the chapel, the plan was revised.
Instead, a religious community will assume responsibility for the chapel and its youth patronage beginning in September. This change has since been confirmed on the chapel's official website, although the announcement refers only to "a Community" composed of a priest and a seminarian, without identifying the institute.
According to PaixLiturgique.org, Paris Archdiocese considered entrusting the chapel to the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (…More

Humpback Whale Crucified among Priests, Altar Servers and an Altar: The blasphemous play Timmy: Hope Dies Last, which premiered on 11 July at the Ernst Deutsch Theater in Hamburg, Germany, portrays the stranded humpback whale Timmy as a Christ-like figure. Directed by Alexander Klessinger, the production features a 'Mass for Timmy', a crucifixion. The production was inspired by Timmy, whose stranding in the Baltic Sea this spring prompted a nationwide rescue effort. The whale was found dead off the coast of Denmark approximately two weeks after being freed. The operation reportedly cost around €2 million.

Es macht traurig und entsetzt zugleich, mit welcher Selbstverständlichkeit das Heilige für Millionen von Christen verspottet wird. Jesus Christus – er, der die Liebe, die Vergebung und die Hoffnung ist – wird erneut zum Gegenstand von Provokation und Lächerlichmachung gemacht.
Wo bleibt der viel beschworene Respekt vor Religionen, wenn es um den christlichen Glauben geht? Von Toleranz und Rücksicht wird gesprochen – doch immer wieder scheint das Christentum ein einfaches Ziel für Angriffe zu sein. Andere Religionen werden häufig mit größerer Vorsicht behandelt, während der Name Jesu öffentlich verspottet wird.
Doch wir wissen als Christen: Das Wort war schon immer ein Dorn im Auge der Widersacher.
„Denn es kommt die Zeit, da sie die gesunde Lehre nicht ertragen werden; sondern nach ihren eigenen Begierden werden sie sich selbst Lehrer aufladen, nach denen ihnen die Ohren jucken.“
(2. Timotheus 4,3)
Jesus selbst sagte:
„Wenn die Welt euch hasst, so wisst, dass sie mich vor euch gehasst hat.“ …More

Cardinal Gambetti Expected to Leave St. Peter's Basilica: According to AdVaticanum, Cardinal Mauro Gambetti is expected to step down as Archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica by the end of the summer and become Archbishop of Chieti, a move seen as a demotion. The report attributes the change to Gambetti's fatigue after several demanding years, as well as controversies over security incidents at the basilica, administrative reforms, and other disputes. It also says his close association with Father Enzo Fortunato, who faced criticism over the World Children's Day initiative, weakened his position.

Exclusive: Why Cardinal Gambetti is expected to leave St Peter’s Basilica | Advaticanum

AdVaticanum can confirm that Cardinal Gambetti is expected to leave his position as Archpriest of St Peter’s Basilica later this summer. AdVaticanum sources in the Vatican have confirmed that he is expected to move to the Archdiocese of Chieti. While this will not come as a surprise to many Vatican watchers, as Archbishop Bruno Forte is already beyond the customary retirement age, the move is nonetheless notable. Although Chieti is a metropolitan archdiocese, it has not traditionally been a cardinalatial see and is relatively small. As such, the appointment could reasonably be interpreted as a demotion for Cardinal Gambetti. Sources close to Cardinal Gambetti say he feels burnt out after his time at St Peter’s and that a move away from Rome may suit him. They added: “He doesn’t like the spotlight.” AdVaticanum understands that when Pope Leo initially reconfirmed office holders, Gambetti’s appointment was extended for only six months. AdVaticanum also understands that Cardinal Gambetti’s …
