I Posted a False News Story!

Yesterday, I posted an article from Aleteia, As Many as 750 Killed in Massacre at Ethiopian Church. I sent the link to an Ethiopian friend, a Deacon in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Today he sent me this message:
By the way the story you linked is a false one being spread by the TPLF. There was no attack on St. Mary of Axum and no one was massacred there. They created a fake Wikipedia article and got anti-Ethiopians like Martin Plaut to “report” it.


I apologise. Aleteia is a normally reliable source.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
