The Bible among objects prohibited at the 2008 Beijing Olympics
So much for any Olympic spirit of tolerance and diversity.
The Spanish daily La Razon said the rule was one of a number of “signs of censure and intolerance†towards religious objects, particularly those used by Christians in China. Currently in China five bishops and fifteen priests are in prison for opposing the official Church.
But then again, they ARE the ChiComs…that’s what they do, and who they really are.
Do you have a link to the original article in La Razon? I tried to find the article in the Italian paper, but couldn’t.
Afraid not. I didn’t o any better than you did in getting it.
