Instead of confrontation there was a handshake and #vegan refreshments: the vigil against the Hubertus Mass on 25 October 2026 ends with a remarkable gesture from the #Church.
The biggest surprise concerned the collection. According to Bieli, the entire collection from the Hubertus Mass was awarded to HUNT WATCH's animal rights work. Of all things, the money from a service honouring recreational hunters is now said to benefit the protection of hunted wild #animals.

I came across this piece of restored flooring recently. It's a 1,000-year-old stretch of medieval tiling from a Benedictine abbey. What makes it especially interesting is that the monks made their floor from repurposed Roman tiles and hypocaust bricks that they found on site. This seems, to me, to have been a practical, attractive, and environmentally sound arrangement, and I was much taken with it.

How popes have faced France’s brand of Church-State separation
“That the State must be separated from the Church is a thesis absolutely false, a most pernicious error.” A few months after the official separation of Church and State in France, a cornerstone of French laïcité (secularism or secularity) going back to the bloody French Revolution, Pope Pius X wrote these words in his 1906 Read More… How popes have faced France’s brand of Church-State separation...

⛪ An abandoned chapel, somewhere in the north of France.
A large timber frame supports a collapsing ceiling; it now bears the weight of the stone arch and the roof above.
A small sapling grows from the ground in front of the altar. By some miracle nature has found a way inside and is thriving!
