  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

'Satan is mocking Catholicism,' former priest says

Fans of a German soccer club known for their “Red Devils” mascot shocked spectators with a choreographed display invoking Satan, featuring Latin banners and a giant devil-like figure.

1. FC Kaiserslautern, founded in 1900, has long embraced its “Red Devils” nickname, a nod to the team’s fierce playing style and red-and-white colors. The mascot, often depicted as a playful devil figure, is a beloved symbol among fans, appearing on merchandise and at matches. The nickname’s origins trace back to the club’s early years, reflecting the region’s industrial grit and the team’s competitive spirit in German football.

During a March 29 match against Fortuna Düsseldorf at the Fritz Walter Stadium in the German city of Kaiserslautern, supporters unveiled a massive red pentagram formed in the crowd, accompanied by a banner in Latin reading, “Exaudi Nos, Lucifer, Et Surge Ex Abysso, Sume Animas Nostras,” translating to “Hear us, Lucifer, rise from the abyss and accept our souls.”

I don't know how I missed this article five months ago, but it is sickening to see, especially if there's a video of it such as (Christian) Nick Jones presents it. I appreciate his Christian commentary on what is a discomfiting spectacle, especially as it is supposedly "only" a mock up for a soccer team mascot:

Satan is out of the closet. The once hidden beliefs of some people are now out in the open.
I wouldn't be surprised if it continues to get worse.
