Description

– a look into the Vatican’s hidden finances
We start by revisiting last week’s sad news about Dr Kellermayr and explore the reactions of other skeptical activists. In TWISH we learn about Peter Atkins, professor extraordinaire in physical chemistry. A deep dive this week in the busines of Pope Francis, both regarding his recent apology and trip to the indigenous peoples of Canada (did he do enough?), and also then into the hidden finances of the Vatican which we suddenly know much more about than before. Then we have a look at the news:

US / UK: Harriet Hall‘s children’s book promotes critical thinking (with illustrations by a fan from the UK)
UK / US / AUSTRALIA: Olivia Newton-John dies at age 73 – another victim of SCAM?
UK: School-based Mindfulness training proves not beneficial compared to teaching-as-usual
RUSSIA / UKRAINE: Anti-vax Twitter accounts pushing food crisis disinformation
To round off, Viktor Orbán and his regime gets the Really Wrong Award for allowing clear-cutting of native forests in Hungary.

Enjoy!
