Canada has the largest Ukrainian diaspora in the world, so stuff like that plays pretty well here.

Remember when they were investigating the "desecration" of a memorial to a Waffen-SS division as a hate crime.

When I was an editor, I always loved editing the stock market report. Every day, some AP reporter has to give out the key numbers from the market that day, but then also for some reason they feel compelled to explain why even though they probably have no loving clue. This is every day, so if it's like a 20 pt. rise that means absolutely nothing, they've got to cook up a reason why the Dow held steady that day.

a little light heresy is acceptable if you are doing it in pursuit of a noble goal, like giving the church control of all human reproduction

It's "Origenism" and it got stamped out like 1,500 years ago and the dude got excommunicated so pretty much none of the Christian sects believe in it.

For some reason the amazingly pedantic squabbles of early Christians about the nature of the Trinity. Eusebius probably just making up a story about Origen castration himself, it's very messy

Origen got excommunicated posthumously, which I feel should have opened up its own enormous can of worms about the nature of God and salvation and led to more schisms.
