«Die Mehrheit der Priester im Vatikan ist schwul» | Sternstunde Religion | SRF Kultur | Reupload

Mar 31, 2020 | Mit seiner These, wonach die Mehrheit der Prälaten, Bischöfe und Kardinäle des Vatikans schwul seien, generierte der französische Soziologe und Journalist Frédéric Martel im Frühling 2019 viel Aufmerksamkeit, aber auch Unverständnis.

Sein Buch «Sodom» erschien zeitgleich in acht Sprachen und Martel wurde in unzählige Talkshows eingeladen, doch der Vatikan hüllte sich in Schweigen. Wer sich in den 30er-, 40er- und 50er-Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts als junger Mann irgendwie anders – eben homosexuell – fühlte, fand in der römisch-katholischen Kirche eine Oase, so Martel in seinem Buch «Sodom»: Männer, die unter Männern leben, andere Kleidung tragen und singen, das wäre für viele die Rettung gewesen, die zudem noch von der Gesellschaft akzeptiert war.

Gegen aussen seien diese in der Regel sehr alten Männer nun homophob, gegen innen aber homophil. Dies führe zu einer gefährlichen Doppelmoral, einer Kultur des Schweigens, die die Skandale rund um die katholische Kirche sehr unglücklich begünstigt hätten.

« J’aime mon pays mais je ne le reconnais pas » : Angelina Jolie s’inquiète de l’état de la liberté d’expression aux États-Unis

LE FIGARO : Depuis le Festival international du film de Saint-Sébastien, l’actrice dépeint un tableau assez sombre de la situation politique américaine. Tout en faisant preuve de prudence dans ses déclarations.

Il a fallu dix longues secondes à l’actrice pour trouver les bons mots. Ceux qu’elle estime appropriés pour dépeindre la situation politique aux États-Unis. De passage au Festival international du film de Saint-Sébastien, au Pays basque espagnol, Angelina Jolie a été invitée à commenter l’actualité américaine. Plus précisément, le débat soulevé par le récent licenciement de l’animateur vedette Jimmy Kimmel.

À la journaliste espagnole qui l’interroge sur sa position « d’artiste » face à ces atteintes supposées au droit fondamental de la liberté d’expression, l’actrice concède sa perplexité. « C’est évidemment une question très difficile, commence-t-elle. Je vais dire simplement que j’aime mon pays, mais que je ne le reconnais pas en ce moment ». » | Par Benjamin Puech | lundi 22 septembre 2025

Bad Faith: Christian Nationalism's Unholy War on Democracy (2024)

Apr 26, 2025 | Zionists, Evangelists, whatever you want to call them, their BLASPHEMY goes so far as to claim that George Washington went through an "apotheosis" when he died. Literally claiming that a slave-owning, over-taxing Freemason "became a god." That is what apotheosis means. It is an undeniable and documented fact that the vast majority of all U.S. founders were Deists and Freemasons, with a much smaller percentage of Christians. The patriotic (PAY-tri-IDIOT) crowd would like to keep dreaming that their slave-owning Deists and Masons were "Christians" but in educated reality, they are heavily uninformed and massively in need of facts.

Politico Journalist Targeted by U.S. Catholic Bishop and Leonard Leo | The Warning

Apr 29, 2025 | Why is Bishop Robert Barron, a Catholic prelate with a huge social media presence, targeting an investigative journalist? Steve Schmidt explains the strange story of why His Excellency is bearing false witness against Heidi Przybyla after she spoke out against Christian Nationalism. Steve Schmidt warns this is demagogic attack and makes an important point: "Politicians with clerical collars have historically been very dangerous people. And this man, speaking of danger, seems like someone we all ought to keep an eye on."

Bericht: Treffen mit Trump ermutigte Putin, Angriffe auf Ukraine zu verschärfen

BERLINER ZEITUNG: Kremlnahe Quellen sollen Bloomberg über Putins Erkenntnisse aus dem Alaska-Gipfel informiert haben. Offenbar geht Putin nicht davon aus, dass die USA eingreifen würden.

Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin ist nach seinem Treffen mit US-Präsident Donald Trump einem Medienbericht zufolge zu dem Schluss gekommen, die Angriffe auf die Ukraine auszuweiten. Eine Eskalation sei seiner Einschätzung nach der beste Weg, um die Ukraine zu Friedensgesprächen zu seinen Bedingungen zu zwingen. Das sagten kremlnahe Quellen offenbar gegenüber dem Nachrichtenportal Bloomberg.

In dem Bericht hieß es weiter, Putin gehe davon aus, dass Trump wahrscheinlich nicht viel unternehmen werde, um die Verteidigung der Ukraine zu stärken. Die US-russischen Gespräche in Anchorage im US-Bundesstaat Alaska am 15. August hätten den Kremlchef davon überzeugt, dass Trump nicht an einem Eingreifen in den Krieg interessiert sei. » | Sophie Barkey | Sonntag, 21 September 2025

Trump-loving ‘Prophetess’ Says She Was Invited to Award Ceremony for Charlie Kirk in Heaven!

September 22, 2025

What is going on in Trump’s dangerous dystopia should bring it home to all of us thinking Brits that our sensible path forward is to align ourselves and our country with Europe. We Brits have little or nothing in common with the garbage going on across the Pond. We are EUROPEANS, and we should be very PROUD of the FACT! Whatever the weaknesses people see in the European Union—and yes, there is much room for improvement—but it is infinitely better, more civilised, and more cultured than anything going on in America, especially now in Trump’s fascist dictatorship. It grieves me beyond description that my fellow countrymen fell for BoJo and Nigel Fags’ lies about the EU and our membership of it.

Wealth Tax Would Be Deadly for French Economy, Says Europe’s Richest Man

THE GUARDIAN: LVMH owner Bernard Arnault, who could take €1bn hit, says proposed 2% levy ‘aims to destroy liberal economy’

Europe’s richest man, the luxury goods magnate Bernard Arnault, has said that a wealth tax that could cost him more than €1bn (£817m) would be deadly for France’s economy.

The French founder of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton said in a statement to the Sunday Times that calls for a 2% wealth tax on all assets “aims to destroy the liberal economy, the only one that works for the good of all”.

The idea of a wealth tax has steadily gained ground in France because of a political crisis, with the government trying to push through unpopular budget cuts. The idea of a 2% wealth tax on fortunes worth more than €100m has been proposed by Gabriel Zucman, an economics professor who has become a household name in France.

The economist argues that the tax – named the Zucman tax by others – could help France with its squeezed budget. The French president, Emmanuel Macron, this month appointed a new prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu, after the centrist François Bayrou failed to win support for an austerity budget. » | Jasper Jolly | Sunday, September 21, 2025

In Assault on Free Speech, Trump Targets Speech He Hates

THE NEW YORK TIMES: The president’s complaints about negative coverage undermine the rationales offered by his own officials.

As President Trump threatens a wide-ranging crackdown on mainstream media institutions and political opponents, his aides and allies have cast the administration’s moves as critical to stanching misinformation and hate speech that could lead to political violence.

But Mr. Trump himself has repeatedly made clear in recent days that he has a different goal. For him, it’s not about hate speech, but about speech that he hates — namely, speech that is critical of him and his administration.

He has suggested that a clutch of protesters who yelled at him in a restaurant be prosecuted under laws targeting mobsters. He demanded that multiple late-night comics who mocked him be taken off air. He threatened to shutter television broadcasters that he deemed unfair to him. He sued The New York Times for allegedly damaging his reputation. And that was just last week.

When threatening government action against those who anger him, Mr. Trump can be strikingly transparent about what is driving him. He talks regularly about how journalists, commentators and political actors should not be “allowed” to be so harsh toward him. Having installed a partisan ally to run the F.B.I., he muses openly about which political critics he would like to see investigated. » | Peter Baker | Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent, is covering his sixth presidency.

Italia Squisita: Roasted Beer Chicken inside a 2-Michelin-Star Italian Restaurant with Giancarlo Perbellini

Oct 30, 2020 | Roasted chicken is a typical Sunday dish, an apparently simple classic to enjoy with the family. In reality the infinite possibilities of flavoring the meat and the complexity of the roasting make it one of the most difficult comfort foods to prepare at home. That's why for the second time we asked a great Michelin chef, in this case Giancarlo Perbellini from Casa Perbellini, to show us his recipe. It came out a real masterclass on chicken, and a preparation that combines the greedy bird with the aromas and properties of a great Italian craft beer.
