Myriam avait 7 ans. Elle fuyait mais elle a trébuché avec son cartable d’où ses chaussons de danse sont tombés. Elle s’est arrêtée pour les ramasser, l’homme l’a alors attrapé par les cheveux et lui a tiré une balle dans la tête à bout portant
L’homme c’était Mohamed Merah…
🔴🇫🇷 𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗛 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢 — Des jeunes ont profané une église sur un morceau de rap faisant référence aux terroristes islamistes Salah Abdeslam et Mohamed Merah.

When you condemn either abortion or the deliberate killing of civilians in wartime (e.g. at Hiroshima), you will shrilly be accused of self-righteousness and met with “ends justify the means” rationalizations for murdering the innocent. Remarkably similar mentality in both cases.

13th century Italian city terrorized by a wolf. Kills not just livestock but humans too. St Francis decides his help is needed. Goes to meet the wolf. Finds him, sees fangs, gets charged. "Come hither, Brother Wolf; I command thee, in the name of Christ, neither to harm me nor anybody else.” Wolf slows. Comes to Francis' feet. Lays down. Francis offers deal: wolf must vow never to eat man or livestock; in return the Gubians will feed him. Wolf nods. Francis asks the wolf to promise. Wolf places his paw in Francis' extended hand and they shake on it. Both enter the city and Francis informs the residents of the agreement. Wolf lives its final years in Gubio. Citizens feed him, grow to like him, and mourn his death when it comes. Church of St Francis of the Peace is built on the site where the wolf was buried. Many years later, in 1872, renovations are being made and the crews find a very old skeleton of a large wolf!
Ora pro nobis, St Francis, friend to animals!

Islamic clerics immediately called for his head, but because the Sultan admired his courage, he let him go

Sorrindo, o Senhor, respondeu-lhe assim: ⬇️

Las máquinas cuando se avientan un Lorem Ipsum y el papa les contesta en latín:
Hac intellegentiae artificialis aetate, urgens fit humanam artem ab iis distinguere, quae machinis efficiuntur. Ars enim et ea, quae machina ex innumeris alienis imaginibus statisticae ope computationis generare potest, ontologice, prius etiam quam aesthetice, inter se differunt. Algorithmis humani deest favilla. Quapropter Ecclesia cum artificibus et humani cultus institutis foedus renovare cupit: foedus scilicet ad humanum custodiendum.

"Why should we defend ourselves when we are misunderstood and misjudged? Let us leave that aside. Let us not say anything. It is so sweet to let others judge us in any way they like. O blessed silence, which gives so much peace to the soul!" - St. Therese of Lisieux
