    On July 26, the 2024 summer Olympic Games will kick off in Paris, as they did 100 years ago in 1924. Back stories from those games were dramatized in the 1981 film Chariots of Fire, about Scottish sprinter Eric Liddell, an outgoing Christian, and Jewish athlete Harold Abrahams, younger brother of Sidney Abrahams, who represented Britain at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm. Sidney was duly knighted, and Sir Sidney Solomon Abrahams served as chief justice of Ceylon during the 1930s. “Solly” was also the first Jew elected president of the London Athletic Club, founded in 1863. Younger brother Harold, born...

    BERLIN (AP) – German authorities closed down Munich airport temporarily on Saturday after six climate activists broke through a security fence and glued themselves to access routes leading to runways, officials and local media reported.

Incoming flights had to be diverted to other airports, an airport spokesperson said. After a couple of hours, the airport’s two runways were reopened though some disruptions to flight schedules may happen, a statement on the airport´s official...

    Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton decried antisemitism on U.S. college campuses on Saturday, telling an audience at the Munich Security Conference that young people in America are “woefully uninformed” about antisemitism and the Holocaust. Clinton, now a professor at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, described an atmosphere in which students who are highly engaged on global issues only regularly protest Israel, despite a lack of knowledge about the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A series of recent events on campus exemplify the issue, Clinton said. “Last week we had three panels about Ukraine, and they were...

    The Lenbachhaus museum in Munich has redacted part of the title of a 112-year-old August Macke painting depicting Native Americans, a decision that has spurred controversy in Germany. The Macke work, previously titled Indians on Horseback Near a Tent (1911), has been in Lenbachhaus’s collection since 1964, and has hung ever since with that name. But the museum recently changed it so that the word “Indians” now appears as “I******” in its English label, with a similarly styled version for its German counterpart. The right-wing tabloid Bild accused the museum of “woke madness” in its display copy for its story...

    The themesong for the global warming conference in Dubai is Sam Cooke’s Wonderful World. Since mostly they don’t believe in science or economics. Just the thrill of government control. While world leaders spoke at a ‘global warming’ conference in Dubai, located in the heart of the Arabian Desert, discussing the usual: banning gas stoves, cow farts, and petrol-powered vehicles, a powerful snowstorm grounded all flights at Munich Airport in Germany. “Private jets in Munich on the way to Dubai global warming conference are literally frozen on the runway, which has turned into a glacier,” said Ryan Maue, a meteorologist and...

    The Celts of the La Tène civilization, who were prosperous in the late Iron Age around 450 BC, lived in the settlement until 1000 AD. The Celtic peoples first inhabited the area that is now Bavaria, but the Romans eventually overcame them and integrated it into their empire.During an archaeological investigation as part of the development of a new residential area, an above-average number of house plans from former settlements were discovered. These post holes, now visible as circles in the gravel, are the last remains of individual mine houses. They provide impressive evidence that around 500 people lived in...

As reported by the "Süddeutsche Zeitung", the action took place on 16 February at the Ordinariate and the Archbishop's Palace. In the process, the investigators are said to have looked into the rumour that there could be a "poison cabinet" in the Archdiocese with sensitive files on abuse cases.

    A previously unknown correspondence shows that Joseph Ratzinger, as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, knew about Peter H.'s abuses in 1986 at the latest. Despite this, the priest was still employed in pastoral care. As head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and later Pope Benedict XVI had information about the sexual offences committed by the priest Peter H. against children as early as 1986, research by CORRECTIV and BR shows. This emerges from a previously unknown Vatican document that CORRECTIV and Bayerischer Rundfunk were able to...

The protest under the motto “Make Peace” was organized by Covid lockdown opponents “Munich Stands Up!” and was open to all political affiliations.

    The deeply troubling history of the Catholic Integrated Community The Katholische Integrierte Gemeinde – Catholic Integrated Community (KIG) was founded in 1965. The beginnings of the community go back to 1945, when the initiator Traudl Wallbrecher developed her idea of a new beginning in the church linked to Jewish-Christian roots as a response to the Holocaust. In 1948, Traudl Weiß, the leader of the federation at the time, left the Heliand Girls' Federation with around 60 other members. After her marriage to the lawyer Herbert Wallbrecher, a childhood friend of Johannes Degenhardt, this developed into the nucleus of the later...

However there is one notable exception to this in the over-the-top fanboy love from Joel Rubin who thinks that Kamala was absolutely fabulous.

    Nine hierarchs boycott 'heretic' Francis, Greeks snub ecumenical prayerNICOSIA, Cyprus (ChurchMilitant.com) - The Orthodox archbishop of Cyprus has dropped a bombshell on Francis, lecturing the pontiff on Turkey's "ethnic cleansing" of Cypriot Christians and asking him to imitate Pope Benedict XVI's support for Cyprus against the Islamic aggressor. "Turkey barbarically attacked us and by force of arms conquered 38% of our homeland and its Christian inhabitants, always expelling them from their patriarchal lands," His Beatitude Chrysostomos II reminded Francis during the pope's visit to Nicosia.

    European football’s governing body, UEFA, has declined a request to allow Munich’s Allianz Arena to be illuminated in rainbow colors in support of LGBTQ+ rights, saying it would represent a political statement. LGBTQ+ activists and the Munich City Council had requested the action for Germany’s Euro 2020 match against Hungary on Wednesday, after legislation was passed through the Hungarian parliament banning LGBTQ+ content for minors. In a statement on Tuesday, UEFA said the action would have signaled a political message and suggested alternative dates. “UEFA, through its statutes, is a politically and religiously neutral organization. Given the political context of...

    How holding Palestinian elections threatens to expose Fatah. The Palestinian attempt to appease the Biden administration by holding Palestinian elections threatens to reveal the flabbiness and collapse of Fatah, which lies at the heart of the Palestinian Authority. Recently, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas threatened Fatah members who opted to run outside the Fatah list with death. This apparently occurred last week during a Fatah Revolutionary Council meeting in Ramallah. Abbas had barred members of the Fatah Central Committee, Revolutionary Council, and Consultative Council from running in the upcoming legislative elections. This ban also included current ministers, ambassadors, governors, security officials,...
