Army chaplain barred from using defence ministry logo


France’s defence ministry has barred the chief Catholic military chaplain from using its logo on his department’s monthly magazine after he compared the jihadists who killed 17 people in Paris last January with what he called undeclared secularist adversaries supporting legalised abortion, writes Tom Heneghan.

Bishop Luc Ravel made the comparison in an editorial saying Christians today felt caught in a minefield between  Islamists who killed in the name of God, on the one hand, and the “thought terrorists” promoting a secularist political correctness on the other.
