… and German bishops openly defies the pope
We’re all back together again and urge you to help out with translations and nominate people for the John Maddox Prize. In TWISH we learn about the Index and how you’re not supposed the challenge the Catholic Church. Speaking of which, pope Francis interferes with the Trial of the Century and also gets totally ignored by the German bishops. Then we take a look at the news:

  • INTERNATIONAL: CFI doubles international Paranormal Challenge Prize to $500k
  • SWEDEN: Follow up – person behind disinformation against social authorities regrets it
  • UK: Google ads direct pregnant people to anti-abortion groups
  • UK: Children’s Rights Alliance for England report calls on government to end compulsory collective worship
  • SWEDEN: Funmed – Not so fun as it sounds, and very expensive
  • FRANCE: Well known journalist suspended in suspected planted misinformation scandal
  • NORWAY: Old sea creature might have been tricky whales after all
  • BELGIUM: Lavish Flemish epic – is it history or propaganda?
  • SWEDEN: Pontus pokes the politicians – lumping environment into “super-ministry” has already cost billions of SEK

Viktor Orbán gets his fourth(!) Really Wrong Award, this time for butchering the Hungarian health care system.

Enjoy!
