This keeps on happening. It's a shame that, aside from Orban's Hungary and sometimes France, no western country shows much interest in the persecution of Christians across the wider Middle East. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm4g…
Thee, thou and thy are the intimate register for the second person singular, family and close friends. They are the closest to the heart.

I’ve been saying this for years! Of course in Ireland with our 50% insured population, most of the NHS wannabe civil servants and Slainte-worshipping pols have insurance themselves! The system we should emulate
Is Germany.!
Among international experts on healthcare, the UK's system is viewed as being mediocre at best. It is highly centralised, giving patients little or no choice and therefore does not incorporate a competitive/incentivising dynamic.
That Ireland's Slaintecare apes the NHS has long been a cause for concern.

God have mercy on the Ethiopian Christians - as the country looks set to descend into war again, they are suffering.
Ethiopia: At least 47 Ethiopian Christians were killed, and another 18 hospitalized, in coordinated attacks targeting them in the Oromia region.
Surviving witnesses claimed regional authorities collaborated with Islamist militias to carry out the massacre.
Church leaders have repeatedly warned local authorities about armed groups entering the area, but received no serious response.
This is not an isolated incident, but rather part of a pattern of targeted attacks against Ethiopian Christians, who militants conflate with Amhara ethnicity.
This fusion of religious and ethnic violence against innocent Christians and their churches must not be tolerated.
We condemn these evil acts and call for the protection of Ethiopia’s Christians.
I have never been more seized by alarm at civilisational decline.
Catholic drinking in America has plunged to a record low — just 55% of Catholic adults now report consuming alcohol, down from 79% two decades ago, according to a new Gallup report.
Protestant drinking rates, by contrast, held flat at 54% over the same period. The collapse in Catholic consumption is one of the sharpest declines tracked across any religious subgroup, though researchers caution the shift may reflect broader health trends rather than anything unique to Catholic culture.

Every county council will vote on its 2027 budget in the next few weeks.
In August I asked the Department to release 14 years of those budgets in excel format. They did. Here's what it shows about how central government funds local authorities and where Galway County sits.
Data: data.gov.ie/dataset/local-au… (1/11)
We’ve had several ‘giveaway budgets’ - lots of little bits to everyone in the audience, with no overall strategic objectives beyond trying to pacify various groups, taxpayers included.
Without vision, the people perish …
Support for Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael has plummeted to a record low as voters desert the coalition in growing numbers despite its giveaway budget, according to the latest Business Post/Red C poll.

This is quite a weird thing to say. Christians are compelled to pray for those in authority.
The oddity from my perspective is how rarely I hear prayers in Ireland for our Head of State or Government.
Growing up, my mother’s response to the question “what’s for dinner?” was, “Why do you care? You’ll eat what’s put down.” Blunt, but to the point.
She remains a champion maker of roast potatoes.

This is an interesting little nugget in this piece. This is where their real problem now lies.

Adenauer and De Gasperi were neither leftwing nor French. Spaak was a Socialist but not French. Jan-Willem Beijer who created single market was rightwing Dutch Protestant banker. Robert Schuman and Jean Monnet were French but not leftist. None were aristos. Otherwise, good points
This is the CRS unleashed, evidently ordered to put an end to the ongoing public disorder.
Other EU police forces seem to operate under somewhat different RoE than our Gardaí.

Wonderful surprise in Florence! The Bardi chapel in Santa Croce, Giotto’s 14th-century masterpiece has been reopened after a four-year restoration! The stories of St Francis painted with the innovation and vigor of the early Renaissance. What a gift for his 800th anniversary!
