Seules 7 femmes dans le monde peuvent à porter du blanc en présence du pape. Cette tradition, appelée "le privilège du blanc" est réservée à une caste, relate La Provence. Privilège d'abord accordé à la reine d'Espagne au XIXè siècle, il a été étendu à d'autres souveraines restées fidèles à l'Église alors que d'autres se sont converties au protestantisme. La presse semble en voie d'avoir épuisé tous les angles sur le Vatican, ouf!

Just be honest. Nobody is just arguing for god, but for their version of god and practice. And they can't prove their god makes more sense than any other, only that their belief will be better for people than another faith. Which is fine and probably why religions tend to evolve towards the norms of the culture in which they exist. The alternatives either have to cloister themselves, change the overall society or cease to exist.

For the skeptic there remains only one consolation: if there should be such a thing as superhuman law it is administered with subhuman inefficiency.

It is indeed curious how East and West developed differently: one focused on spirituality, the other in technology.

She said I was going to hell. But at least she was sweet about it.
I didn’t understand how these views could co-exist. How could she think I was sinful if she also thought I was awesome?

Pope Francis' death could reset the contest between the modernizing and the traditionalist wings of the financially challenged Roman Catholic Church. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/04/22/world/pope-franciss-legacy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #catholicchurch #popefrancis #jorgemariobergoglio #religion
My wife and our friend found an ancient Shintō shrine full of lore that was nevertheless deserted on a busy weekend in Kyōto. Konoshima Jinja (木嶋神社) or Kaiko no Yashiro (蚕の社) features a rare three-legged torii gate, symbolizing stability and a connection between the spiritual and physical realms. Going back as far as the beginning of the 8th Century, considerably before Kyōto became the capital, the shrine is mainly dedicated to silkworms, as silk has played an important cultural role in Kyōto's history.
The three-legged torii gate also alludes to the three-legged crow Yatagarasu (八咫烏), regarded as a divine messenger. Important Kyōto shrines like Yasaka Jinja and Kamigamo Jinja along with the Imperial family have associated themselves with the Yatagarasu, yet I found that the cult actually goes back to Chinese and Korean mythology.
Hidden Christians appropriated the 3-legged torii as the Trinity.
