Armenians who survived the Turkish genocide and settled in Palestine were displaced again when the State of Israel was founded. I hope the recognition of a Palestinian State will also protect the Armenian Quarter in Jerusalem which is under extreme pressure from Israeli ultranationalists.

No it’s not. It’s a common misconception. Luther attacks the misuse of indulgence, not indulgence itself and not the pope either. It’s the hero cult of the 19th century that popularised and dramaticised the event. It’s not even clear if it happened at all. Luther never mentions it.

SkyNews reported earlier that it affects 20 players in regional leagues (or whatever, sorry, no football person) in the whole of England. So far, there have never been any reports of issues. It solves a non-existent problem but destroys something precious for the teams affected.

And the next heading says ‘the glory of the constitution’.
