Ditto “free speech.” Constitutionally protected free speech concerns, once again, the government, not the right to express any view without consequence.

Once audiences were able to see the film for…

By Haroon Moghul

…n Europe. Created in 2018, in direct response to the ecclesiastical battle between Moscow and Constantinople in Ukraine, the jurisdiction was created just as the Russian Orthodox Church set up rivals to the Patriarchate of Constantinople in Spain and Portugal and in Southeast Asia.

By Joseph Laycock

…woman who watched her own son die on a cross. Now she’s weeping for us because we’re killing this world.” In some cases, Church authorities who speak out against popular seers are seen as complicit in “killing the world.” Lueken and Van Hoof famously accused Church officials of being communist infiltrators.

…er Hieronymus Bosch’s The Temptation of St. Anthony, held at the National Museum of Art in Lisbon, Portugal. A curious detail in the dwarfish figure whose whole body is encompassed by a conical cap that looks like a funnel. The headgear which this demon wears is the conical hat which many Christian princes compelled Jews to wear, so as to differentiate themselves from the wider European community. In his understanding, the demons which assaulted A…
