NonilexWhile many <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Protestants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Protestants</a> celebrate the victory as part of Northern Ireland’s history & culture, the celebrations often fuel tensions with <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Catholics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Catholics</a> 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 <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/NorthernIreland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NorthernIreland</a> said its officers would be on the ground through the weekend & would take “firm & proportional action to keep people safe.”

William Lindsey :toad:"Let’s be clear: white Christian nationalism (WCN) is not a fringe ideology — it is a coordinated political strategy.

William Lindsey :toad:"When policies threaten the sanctity of life after birth, the volume [of the bishops' response] is muted and impassive. ...Medicaid is not charity; it is justice.

William Lindsey :toad:Two days ago, the National Catholic Reporter published an editorial statement about Trump's "big, beautiful bill," noting the strong opposition to it among Catholic religious women (i.e., nuns) in the US, and the diffident opposition among the US Catholic bishops.
