While many #Protestants celebrate the victory as part of Northern Ireland’s history & culture, the celebrations often fuel tensions with #Catholics who oppose continuing British rule in the territory.

Bonfires have sometimes been an issue due to flags, effigies or election posters that are placed on the pyres before they are ignited.

The Police Service of #NorthernIreland said its officers would be on the ground through the weekend & would take “firm & proportional action to keep people safe.”

@KimPerales I don't think #Democrats did anything wrong beyond being late to address the desire for more commonality in the language of the electorate. Nobody could've imagined the crudeness of white working-class #Protestants but now that I think about it most of them do endure a banal and futile existence.

🔴 🇫🇷 **Fighting Calvin and Muhammad in Wall Almanacs after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes**

_Combining visual and textual analysis, this article suggests that royal image makers linked Muslims and Protestants to defend the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes and manifest the French king's religious zeal and imperial ambition while distracting from the ahdname (capitulations) granted by the Ottoman sultan that precluded France from joining a Catholic alliance to fight the “Turkish menace.”_

@Ultraverified

I support #ScottishIndependence bit as I pointed out to a few Scots, there are gaping holes on how this would work in reality, especially the border, tax, benefits, pensions, security, North Sea oil etc

#Irish reunification is a more simple affair because of their geographical location. However, the Ulster men see things very differently. They STILL see themselves as #British, when most on the mainland don't 🤷🏾‍♂️

Young #Protestants are pro-Ireland because they want to be European

>> #FalseEquivalency. "ICC prosecutor compares Hamas to the IRA"

There's #FalseEquivalence, but even #SimonHarris, #Irish PM, compared #Hamas to #IRA.

Most significant difference between them is that one is #eliminationist while the other was not.

#TheTroubles were a conflict between #Catholics and #Protestants on whether to separate from #UK or remain.

That's not what Hamas is trying to do. Its charter calls NOT for a separate state from #Israel but Israel's destruction

Il arrive à Lyon au printemps 1532 et devient #médecin à l'Hôtel-Dieu en novembre de la même année : il a donc exercé 2 ans et demi.

Dans les faits c'est moins, car il s'absente 2 fois 4 mois : en 1534 pour une mission diplomatique à Rome avec l'évêque de Paris et Jean du Bellay, et entre février et mai 1535 après l'affaire des Placards, qui le met en difficultés du fait de sa proximité avec des #protestants.

As Derek Scally reports, German Protestants have long maintained that they represent the "better" church — better than the Catholic alternative. Re: sexual abuse of minors, they've wanted to pretend this is a uniquely Catholic problem.

A strong meme has been that the problem of sexual abuse of minors in Catholicism is rooted in the celibacy requirement: if priests could marry, abuse would vanish.

..waren #protestants geworden met toestemming van een katholieke #voorouder van mij die #voogd was voor zijn #voorouder. Want zo ging dat in die tijd. Pas als je 25 was, werd je als volwassene gezien in een huwelijk.
Grappig is ook dat mensen denken: 'hij is katholiek en ik niet, dus kan hij geen #familie zijn, ook al heeft hij mijn #achternaam'. 😍

Geen idee wat hij met deze info heeft gedaan. Maar de geschiedenis van je #voorouders blijkt soms #wonderlijk.

AI #Religion? Hundreds attend #church service at a convention of #Protestants generated by #ChatGPT.

The artificial intelligence #chatbot asked believers in a fully packed #Lutheran church to rise from the pews and praise the Lord then commenced to preach.

The avatar, personified as a bearded Black man on a huge screen above the altar, had an expressionless face and monotonous voice. Its use of platitudes in deadpan voice that drew some laughter as it preached.

Today's #SociologyOfReligion reflection:

In the USA, we have a #president who is a serious #RomanCatholic. This is not a very big deal, in comparison to all the fuss in the 1960 election, when many #Protestants had their knickers in a twist. They feared that John Kennedy would take orders from the #pope.

What are your thoughts about this? I have a hypothesis...
