We received a few letters about our last column.
The
Bild
newspaper had reprimanded Justice Minister Buschmann, who celebrated the agreement on the relief package with the tweet "It's done";
scandalous, as
Bild
thought, since it was Jesus on the cross last week.
We had
accused
Bild of not being able to follow the Bible properly, since these were not the last but the penultimate words of Jesus.
One reader found this “embarrassing”: in the Gospel of John, it ended after “It is finished”.
Jorg Thomann
Editor in the “Life” section of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sunday newspaper.
Follow I follow
Now Bible solidity is pretty much the last thing we claim for ourselves.
In our
picture
criticism, however, we referred to the "seven last words", which the Catholic Church has officially declared to be such, and then "It is finished" is followed by another sentence.
So please let
Bild
settle the matter with the Pope.
The fact that the newspaper now declares Johannes to be normative may be due to the fact that its editor-in-chief also bears his first name.
It's unusual for us, as in the past few decades
only Matthäus has had a say in
Bild .
The Queen, never forgotten
But let's now turn to something more important: The heart leaves have also said goodbye to the queen this week.
In the
Bunte
self-advertisement it says that a special issue pays tribute to "the unforgotten queen" - and that would have been really surprising if she had been forgotten after such a short time.
Charles' coronation is tricky for some newspapers.
They have always maintained that Charles is skipped over in the line of succession because he is too old and unworthy;
not only the people wish William and especially Kate the crown, but also the queen.
How to sell the latest development to readers?
Echo of the woman
tries it like this: The Queen "due to her poor health was no longer able to fix this wish in writing".
Is clear
echo of the woman
.
It can happen that you delay something like that until you're 96 and too weak.
Maybe I haven't had a pen at hand all these years, nor a servant who could have written it down.
It is finished
Elisabeth was able to express another wish.
"Charles held his mother's hand at the hour of death," writes
The New
.
"Then, with the last of her strength, the Queen lifted her head and turned to him: 'Make peace with Harry,' she breathed.
'He's part of the family.'” How touching: Only the Queen, her son and
Das Neue
were there.
The new paper
is headlined: "Charles fulfills her last wish", which in this case is "that he would carry on her legacy with all his strength".
Did the leaves hear different last words?
Perhaps the Queen actually said at the end: "Always give the corgis enough to eat." Or: "Is Boris Johnson really gone?" Or: "It's done." Sorry,
picture!
Leisure time fun
was apparently also
on site: "When Elizabeth has taken her last breath, a faithful servant opens the bedroom window.
And her soul flies light and free, into the sky above the Scottish Highlands, where her beloved Philip awaits.” Nicely put, but a contradiction to what the
Neue Blatt
thinks of when the rainbows over the palace come up: “Many were convinced: At that moment, the Queen was picked up by her beloved husband Prince Philip (†) and led to the other side.” How was it now: did he fly to her or did she fly to him?
We will never know.
Or next week in the heart leaves.
The Youngest Villain
The gossip press always portrays what is happening in the royal houses as a soap opera, and for that you need bullies.
Mostly they are female.
Camilla, for example, is always the bad guy, Meghan anyway, the youngest villain has identified
the current one
in Monaco: Gabriella, daughter of Albert and Charlène, seven years young.
“Your daughter picked up the scissors .
.
.
Fear for the little heir to the throne!” The newspaper is appalled.
In fact, Gabriella cut her and her brother's hair, the certainly debatable result inspiring
the current one
to a crime report: “You see Gabriella grinning with her hair cut and her 'victim' Jacques staring lifelessly straight ahead.
Nightmarish images immediately shoot through your head.
What if the girl gets her hands on a knife?” To illustrate, in the photo of the twins Gabriella, the sheet mounts a pair of scissors in Gabriella's hand.
And the child has to take even more: "It has been noticeable for a while that Gabriella hardly laughs anymore and her gaze seems scary when she looks rigidly, almost angry, as she does now again in the crowd!
Gabriella almost seems like the cruel, serious girl from the 'Addams Family',” complains
The Current
.
For context: The girl Wednesday from the "Addams Family" puts her brother in the electric chair for fun.
So maybe one day Gabriella will inherit the throne instead of her brother.
If that fails and she grows bitter, into a nasty adult, she could still work for
The Current
