Ottawa cuts funding to activist group accused of anti-Catholic bias

Ottawa cuts funding to activist group accused of anti-Catholic bias

A Toronto-based activist organization accused of targeting Catholics and pro-life groups has lost its federal heritage funding for the first time since 2020 after MPs raised concerns the taxpayer-funded group was fueling political division.

Access To Information records show the Canadian Anti-Hate Network received nearly $700,000 from the Department of Canadian Heritage over the past five years before its latest funding agreement expired Feb. 28 without renewal.

This was Bernie Farber’s gang. I wonder if he’s given himself credit for helping create “The Silence”.

Christian YouTubers Prosecuted for Criticizing Islamic Antisemitism in Germany

A criminal investigation in Germany has drawn international attention and reignited debate over freedom of speech and religious criticism. At the center of the case are two Christian YouTubers who spoke out against Islamic antisemitism and are now under scrutiny by prosecutors for it.

The case involves ‘Niko’ and ‘Tino,’ creators of the YouTube channel Eternal Life, where they publish content about Christianity, faith, and social issues. In 2024, they uploaded a video titled “Islam is not peace,” in which they criticized what they described as Islamic antisemitism in Germany.

New Report Reveals 5 Shocking Examples Of Biden DOJ’s Anti-Christian Bias

“No American should live in fear that the federal government will punish them for their faith,” he noted.

Authorities In Britain Are Trying To Criminalize Christian Street Preaching

Authorities In Britain Are Trying To Criminalize Christian Street Preaching

A church in Britain is facing criminal charges for preaching Christianity in public. The United Kingdom has made a habit in recent years of criminalizing Christian preaching and prayer on public streets (including silent prayer near abortion clinics), but this might be the first time the authorities have targeted an entire church and not just an individual.

Europe now treats Christian views as criminal

Europe now treats Christian views as criminal

In what has become known as the ‘Bible trial’, Christian politician Päivi Räsänen was criminally convicted last week of ‘hate speech’ in Finland’s Supreme Court. Her successful prosecution was based on a 21-year-old church pamphlet, which simply re-stated Christian sexual ethics. The verdict, the culmination of a seven-year witch hunt carried out by Finnish authorities, is perhaps the clearest illustration yet of Europe’s censorship crisis.

Christians warned to expected increased hostility, persecution after bill passes in Canada

Canada’s top pro-life group, Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), is warning that the passage of a Liberal bill criminalizing religious expression and belief when quoting parts of the Bible, including about homosexuality and gender, will lead to the “actual persecution” of Christians.

In comments to LifeSiteNews, CLC said the passage of Bill C-9 earlier this week is a warning to Canadians of faith to “prepare for increasing hostility.”

Underground church says leaders detained as China steps up crackdown

Carney loves China. Carney wants to ‘recalibrate’ Canada-China relations with visit

Leaders of a prominent underground church have been detained in south-west China, according to a church statement, the latest blow in what appears to be a sweeping crackdown on unregistered Christian groups in the country.

On Tuesday, Li Yingqiang, the leader of the Early Rain Covenant Church, was taken by police from his home in Deyang, a small city in Sichuan province, according to the statement. Li’s wife, Zhang Xinyue, has also been detained, along with two other church members: Dai Zhichao, a pastor; and Ye Fenghua, a lay member. At least a further four members were taken and later released, while some others remain out of contact.

The crackdown followed the arrest of 18 senior members of Zion Church, another prominent underground church, in a nationwide sweep in October. In December, there were also reports of approximately 100 members of another unofficial church in Zhejiang province being detained , according to Human Rights Watch.

Influential China church reports arrests as crackdown on Christians intensifies

An influential Protestant church in China says prominent leaders have been arrested in what appears to be a growing crackdown on the underground church movement.

Nine people were detained on Tuesday after police raided their homes and the church office in Chengdu, in central China, the Early Rain Covenant Church said. Five had been released by Wednesday.

More than 1,000 miles away in Wenzhou, authorities began demolishing the Yayang Church building, video obtained by non-profit ChinaAid, which monitors religious persecution, shows.

Carney and Xi are buds.

Anti-Christian Hatred in Europe: Report Warns of Growing Phenomenon

“Christianophobia”—understood as hostility, discrimination, or violence directed against Christian people and symbols because they are Christian—is a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly visible and serious across Europe. A report published by the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ) on December 1st highlights an often underestimated reality: the rise in anti-Christian hate crimes—physical, legal and social—profoundly affecting the religious freedom and daily lives of Christians on the continent.

The ECLJ and the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC) have compiled data showing that no fewer than 2,211 anti-Christian crimes were committed in 2024, including 274 physical assaults, across a panel of 35 European countries studied.

Fire that destroyed Toronto’s historic St. Anne’s church now suspected to be arson

St. Anne’s Anglican Church

The fire that destroyed a historic Toronto church last year and more than a dozen murals by the Group of Seven is now being treated as suspected arson, Toronto police said Monday.

The 117-year-old St. Anne’s Anglican Church in Little Portugal burned in June 2024, leaving only the church’s brick walls and the charred skeleton of its domed roof behind. Days after the fire, Toronto police said the fire was not being investigated as arson, but in a meeting after St. Anne’s worship service on Sunday, Toronto detective Patrick Stewart informed the congregation of the change.

ARSON? That’s a grave charge.

Nigeria sees one of worst mass abductions as 315 taken from Catholic school

St. Mary’s School Nigeria – students abducted

More than 300 children and staff are now thought to have been kidnapped by gunmen from a Catholic school in central Nigeria, making it one of the worst mass abductions the country has seen.

The Christian Association of Nigeria said 303 students and 12 teachers were taken from on St Mary’s School in Papiri, Niger state – substantially more than previously estimated.

It said the figures have been revised upwards “after a verification exercise”.

There is no Christian persecution in Nigeria!

‘Europe is persecuting Christians’

Free speech is under serious attack all across Europe. To criticise the sacred cows of the progressive worldview – from transgenderism to immigration and even Islam – is to invite a knock on the door from the thoughtpolice. The recent, harrowing trial of a Finnish parliamentarian reveals how it is often Christians who find themselves in the firing line. Päivi Räsänen has spent the past six years fighting a ‘hate speech’ prosecution, simply for quoting passages from the Bible and defending traditional marriage.
