#TrumpTrial has begun

#Trump’s #criminal trial for falsifying business records during the 2016 presidential campaign to hide an extramarital affair that occurred while his 4th(?) wife was pregnant from his majority #evangelical #Christian #electorate; to that end he arranged an illegal & financially fraudulent #HushMoney pay-off to the adult-film actress #StormyDaniels.

Once the prosecutor & Trump’s #legal team have outlined their cases to the jury, the 1st witnesses will be called.

A politician in #Germany's #FarRight #AfD had been dismissed from a #church post. The deputy parliamentary group leader in the #Saarland parliament, #Schaufert, was sacked from the administration board of his local #Catholic church after the diocese of #Trier ruled that he could not serve in a church office. "As the face of a party that represents attitudes that contradict the #Christian view of humanity, he damages the credibility of the church"

"The oldest-surviving #Christian hymns designed exclusively for #HolyWeek are a set known as the Idiomele. In the modern Orthodox Church, they are sung during the Royal Hours service of #GoodFriday morning (the final hymn is sung during two additional services). Apart from their antiquity, the most noteworthy feature of these hymns is that they were the first to blame “the #Jews” for the death of #Christ."
