The Toad estimated that Charles Martel, who, according to him, had put an end to the Umayyad Arab-Muslim invasion of France in the 8th century, deserved a great historical film. He suggested that a story akin to a "French Braveheart," centered on the character and his battles, could appeal beyond the country's borders. He also wrote that a film depicting a Catholic repelling invaders he described in derogatory terms would today risk being labeled far-right and struggle to secure funding for a big-budget production. Lastly, he hoped that advancements in artificial intelligence would allow this period to be told in the years to come. #Histoire #Cinéma #CharlesMartel (translated)

Bérengère Dubus responded to Aïcha that she acknowledged the initial inequalities related particularly to the parents' education level, their command of the language, and the books read to the children. However, she rejected the idea of addressing these gaps by preventing certain students from progressing or lowering the overall level. According to her, if students were no longer differentiated by knowledge and common tests, dossiers, schools, social codes, and relationships would carry more weight, benefiting those who already possessed these codes. Dubus presented the progression of studies from one generation to the next as the principle of republican merit and suggested that Aïcha could pass on to her children what her parents had not been able to give her. She warned her against elected officials who, in her view, were mocking her, and stated that while Aïcha was losing school days, the students from the Catholic private schools she mentioned continued to study. Dubus added that Aïcha's life could be easier than her parents' lives, and her children's lives could be easier than hers, if she did not give up. Finally, she wrote that those who told her she could not go as far because of her starting point were lying to her and that her future was not already written. #Éducation #MériteRépublicain #Inspiration (translated)

Abbot Matthieu Raffray wrote that a week before, Pope Leo XIV had been among them.

Matias Turkkila wrote that the leader of the French left, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, had spoken about the end of capitalism at an event and said that a socialism based on white Catholic workers would not be realized in France. Turkkila compared Mélenchon to Finland's Li Andersson. According to Turkkila, Métapolitique interpreted the comment to mean that Mélenchon considered the old socialism focused on white trade union workers to be dead and wanted to build a foundation based on immigration and cultural diversity instead. He also mentioned that 69 percent of France's Muslims had voted for Mélenchon's LFI party in the first round of the presidential elections. According to Turkkila, The Jewish Chronicle and The Telegraph were among the critics who described this as an opportunistic alliance with the growing Muslim voter base instead of the traditional working class. He asked if this scenario sounded familiar. #sosialismi #Ranska #monimuotoisuus (translated)

Here is the situation at Berthelot high school in Pantin. But the Île-de-France region prefers to allocate €7.7 million in optional and extralegal subsidies to the private Catholic school Stanislas rather than renovating the high schools in disadvantaged neighborhoods. https://t.co/xPyecCmDW6 #Éducation #ÎleDeFrance #Lycée #FR (translated)

It is not Bardella who met with P. Sanchez yesterday, who oozes hatred for the Jewish State and who was proud to receive the medal of "Isabella the Catholic" who ordered the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492. Indeed, this is not fighting against anti-Semitism. #Antisémitisme #Histoire #Politique #ES (translated)

We see that today Emmanuel Macron received the collar of the Order of Isabella the Catholic from King Felipe VI of Spain on September 29, 2026. Spain, which conducts a clearly anti-Israeli policy with its government and Prime Minister, offers the French President a collar of the order of the queen who in 1492 signed the decree of expulsion or conversion of hundreds of thousands of Jews from Spain. The most anti-Semitic queen who has caused the most harm to Jews in the history of Spain. Strange gifts that these European leaders give to each other in this period when anti-Semitism is resurfacing. #Antisémitisme #Politique #Europe (translated)

More than 360 testimonies of sexual violence have been collected in more than sixty Lasallian Catholic school institutions, with acts occurring from 1960 to recent events, according to the association Memory, Truth, and Recognition. #ViolencesSexuelles #ÉcolesCatholiques #Témoignages (translated)

Le pape Léon XIV a nuancé les accusations de caractère systémique des violences sexuelles au sein de l'Église catholique en affirmant que, bien que certaines organisations aient commis des abus de façon systématique, il préfère exprimer cette problématique différemment, tout en reconnaissant la responsabilité institutionnelle dans ces violences. #violencessexuelles #Eglise #LeonXIV
