Whoa!

Instead FF should challenge his priest to a fight. While priests tend to be significantly more experienced than laypeople in martial arts (not to mention empowered by decades of semen retention), they can still be defeated if you research their abilities before the match.

That's an amazing bait idea. I doubt the new management will think twice either.

How the filtration process goes - different information is received from residents of the liberated part of the Kherson region.

Some note that they are mainly looking for those who were involved in the work of the occupation "administrations" and "police", in the organization of the "referendum". At the same time, simply those who received a Russian passport or participated in the "referendum" are not touched (at least for now). At the same time, the vast majority of those who openly collaborated with the Russians have already left Kherson.

Others say that the filtering takes place on a much larger scale. Moreover, including according to reports of local residents, who point to people as collaborators. At the same time, of course, it is impossible to immediately understand whether the person really supported Russia, or whether the neighbors simply settle scores with him. But the Ukrainian special services react to such signals and detain citizens to clarify all the circumstances.

At the same time, a significant part of the residents who, by the time of liberation, remained in Kherson and in the region, although they did not directly participate in the work of the "administrations" and other "government agencies" created by the Russian Federation, however, one way or another were forced to live according to the new rules in order to be able to work . For example, some entrepreneurs re-registered according to Russian standards, because there was such a requirement. Some farmers sold their goods to the Crimea and Russia (because there was no where else to sell). Stores accepted rubles - that was the order.

Many simply argued with their neighbors and talked on the topic "well, since Russia has come here, then it's probably for a long time, so you need to adapt and live on this basis."

Theoretically, for this, they can also be written down as collaborators if a signal is received by the authorities.

Also, our interlocutors note that the smaller the city, the more large-scale filtration measures are.

"It's one thing big Kherson - where you can get lost, and another thing - a town where everyone knows each other," - says a resident of one of the suburbs of the regional center.

In the first days after the liberation, the media circled the photo of people tied to a pole with tape. According to some sources, suspected of collaborating with the Russians were detained in this way, according to others - marauders (they were waiting for the arrival of the police).

I don�t know if this is a joke about the Pentarchy, but there�s supposed to be five:

The Pope of Rome

The chief of the Orthodox Church of Constantinople

The Pope of All Africa and the chief of the Greek Orthodox Church of Alexandria

The head of the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch and All the East in the Near East

The chief of the Eastern Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem in Israel, Palestine, Jordan and All Arabia

Pope removes [Cardinal Luis Antonio] Tagle, other officers from worldwide Catholic charity

quote:

VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis fired the entire leadership of the Roman Catholic Church's worldwide charity arm on Tuesday and appointed a commissioner to run it until new executives are elected.

The surprise move involved the executives of Caritas Internationalis (CI), a Vatican-based confederation of 162 Catholic relief, development and social services organizations working in more 200 countries.

The sackings of the executive level of CI, which has more than a million staff and volunteers around the world, were announced in a papal decree released by the Vatican press office.

A separate statement from the Vatican's development department, which oversees Caritas, said a review of the workplace environment this year by external management and psychological experts found malaise and bad management practices at its headquarters.

One staffer told Reuters of cases of verbal abuse, favoritism, and general human resources mismanagement that had led some staff to leave. Caritas is based in a Vatican-owned building in Rome.

"No evidence emerged of financial mismanagement or sexual impropriety, but other important themes and areas for urgent attention emerged from the panel's work," the statement from the development office said.

"Real deficiencies were noted in management and procedures, seriously prejudicing team spirit and staff morale," it said.

It said that while "financial matters have been well-handled and fundraising goals regularly achieved", management norms and procedures had to be improved.

A Caritas Internationalis spokesperson referred all questions to the statement.

Among those affected by the decree was Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, who was nominally president of Caritas but was not involved in the day-to-day operations. His main job at the Vatican is head of the Church's missionary arm.

The president's position is traditionally held by a cardinal.

Tagle, a Filipino who is often considered a possible future pope, will step down as president but remain in a new role to help the commissioner keep up relations with national Caritas offices and prepare for election of a new leadership next year.

Two Caritas insiders, who spoke to Reuters on the condition of anonymity, said the decree was aimed at the management practices by the office of the outgoing secretary general and the board.

Apart from Tagle and one priest, all members of the CI executive were lay people.

‘Dubious’ Russians found at monstry raid, says Ukraine

Ukraine’s security service said it had found “dubious” Russian citizens, large sums of cash in various currencies and pro-Russian literature during a raid on an Orthodox Church.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and police raided the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra complex on Tuesday as part of operations it said were intended to counter suspected “subversive activities by Russian special services.”

The SBU said, “More than 50 people underwent in-depth counterintelligence surveys, including using a polygraph. Among them were not only citizens of Ukraine, but also foreigners, in particular citizens of the Russian Federation who were on the territory of the facilities.”

It added that some had Ukrainian passports “with signs of forgery or damage” and, in the title of the statement on its website, described some of the Russian citizens as “dubious.”
