With a satirical film about Jesus, U.S. streaming service Netflix has drawn harsh criticism from church circles. In the Christmas special, Jesus is portrayed as a homosexual joke figure.

Referring to the release of "The First Temptation of Christ" in Brazil in early December, Texas Bishop Joseph Strickland wrote on Twitter, "Just unsubscribed from Netflix. Didn't have time to use it anyway – but blasphemers don't deserve a penny of support."

Online petition found millions of supporters

Many outraged Catholics on social media expressed similar sentiments about the controversial Netflix Christmas special. In it, Jesus is portrayed as a homosexual joke figure.

An online petition in Spanish against the comedy found more than 1.8 million supporters by Tuesday.

Lack of respect for Son of God

"Every Christian should complain about this film," Bishop Strickland urges. He accuses those responsible of a lack of respect for the Son of God, who also died for those who deny his existence.

The clergyman ended his critical remarks with the words, "Lord forgive them, for they know not what they do."

Chancellor Angela Merkel has called on the parties to take joint action against sexual abuse of children. The round table should not become "a party-political event". Meanwhile, the Bundestag's CDU/CSU parliamentary group is pushing for longer statutes of limitations for abuse in criminal law as well.

"When it comes to the ie of combating child abuse, all sides and social groups should think first and foremost of the victims," she warned in an interview with the "Passauer Neue Presse" on Friday (26.03.2010). From the FDP side came the demand to include abuse cases in sports at the Round Table. Her spokesman on sports policy, Joachim Gunther, referred to recent media reports. But not only the policy, but also federations and associations would have to ensure that children "without the danger of sexual assaults in the association sport can drive". Longer statute of limitations Meanwhile, the parliamentary group in the Bundestag is pushing for longer statutes of limitations for abuse in criminal law as well. "For the victims, who often reveal themselves only after years, the current statutes of limitations are fatal," said parliamentary group vice Gunter Krings (CDU) to the "Berliner Zeitung". Criminal law has an essential function of atonement for the victims. Currently, the statute of limitations is only five years in some cases. In the Bundestag on Thursday SPD parliamentary group deputy Olaf Scholz had spoken out for a later criminal statute of limitations. Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger (FDP) opposes it and warns of difficulties in providing evidence decades later. Krings also pleaded for tougher penalties. This is how some offenses should be upgraded to felonies. Greens: come to terms with own past on pedophilia Erika Steinbach (CDU), the human rights spokeswoman for the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, called on the Greens to come to terms with their "own past on pedophilia". The same standards would have to apply to the party that the Greens tried to apply to the Catholic Church. In several questions it referred to contributions of the "federal working group gays and Paderasten" (SchwuP) from 1985 to the topic sex with children. This met with clear opposition from the Greens. Its parliamentary director Volker Beck accused Steinbach of bad style and a falsifying citation against better knowledge. Beck emphasized that part of the turmoil in the early years of the Green Party was that the SchwuP "moved for a while in the environment of the Greens". The party had distanced itself from it early on.

Fear of espionage: Quebec can not build airships

The State French Flying Whales may not develop and build no airships in Canada. This has decided the consolidation government due to concerns about national security. Since the quarter participation of the French-speaking Province Quebec helped nothing. Because another quarter is owned by the People’s Republic of China.

This reports the newspaper Journal de Montreal. Grobdier Partner Flying Whales is the Foreign Tourist of the Republic of France. The forestry administration would like to harvest with airships tree in otherwise difficult accessories. Quebec had only recently invested 30 million Canadian dollars (at that time more than 20 million euros) in Flying Whales. For the provincial government, the prospect of the gentle supply of remote settlements in the north as well as the strainless access to the soil shocks of interest.

Million calculation without host made

For the $ 30 million, Quebec received a 24.9 percent share of the company, as well as shares in a planned subsidiary, which settle in Quebec and should create hundreds of work there. But this is nothing. Because the Chinese State Company China Aviation Industry General Aircraft (Caiga) just 24.9 percent of Flying Whales.

Caiga is the owners of the formerly American aircraft manufacturer Cirrus and himself a subsidiary of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), which is controlled by the US government of China’s militar. The provincial government Quebecs was well known as problematic, which is why she has planned the Canadian subsidiary in cooperation with Flying Whales. Caiga goods were only indirectly involved.

The Château Frontenac is the landmark of the provincial capital Quebec City. The Francophone Province is more than four times as rough as Germany and has about 8.5 million inhabitants.

Maybe that had the concerns of the Canadian espionage levels can not just have been ordered a former Avic employee for the manager of the Canadian branch. The detailed provincial Minister Pierre Fitzgibbon had reviewed this detail. Now he is dedicated, and admits not to be promised that the investment will expect. (The patent for flying warehouse has already applied for Wal-Mart.

Principle hope

The minister is not crunched. He builds on the principle of hope. Maybe Flying Whales is buying at suppliers in Quebec, the development of the planned giant air ship will succeed and eventual clientele. Of course, there are also military applications for airships, not least for espionage, but you do not talk about it. Flying Whales, in turn, does not bury hope that humanity still finds fresh helium.

So the French continue to work on the development of a 150 meter long and 42 high, helium-filled airship with fixed frame, if not in Canada. The airship should one day be up to 60 tons of freight, after all, 100 tonnes less than at Weiland the Cargolifter. Nevertheless, Flying Whales should become the largest aircraft in the world. After all, Provincial Minister Fitzgibbon, Flying Whales do not start "Zero, Zero", but Konne build on a prototype that was already flown. In China.
