• Truth-telling is a biblical mandate, and believers are called to stand firm in what they know to be true regardless of legal pressure.

A Delaware judge has dismissed media personality Candace Owens from a defamation lawsuit filed by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron.

Two companies linked to the podcaster remain part of the case.

Owens publicly celebrated the ruling and noted she was never personally sued for stating that Brigitte Macron was born male.

“I wasn’t sued for saying the wife of the French president was born a man. I wasn’t sued. My company was sued.”

She emphasized the distinction between personal and corporate liability.

The decision removes Owens as an individual defendant while leaving the businesses tied to her podcast subject to further proceedings.

Observers see the outcome as a partial victory for free speech and accountability.

Supporters argue that questions about public figures’ personal histories should not be silenced by legal threats.

“I’m still waiting for the lawsuit to actually be about defamation.”

Critics of the Macrons maintain that transparency about leaders’ backgrounds matters to voters and citizens.

Owens has continued to comment publicly on the case and its implications for open discourse.

• Nearly one third of Germans support the merger of Protestant and Catholic churches according to a recent poll.
• Catholics showed the highest level of support among Christian groups surveyed.
• The findings were published by the German evangelical magazine IDEA.

Christian unity has long been a subject of prayer and discussion among believers who hold to the biblical call for one body in Christ.

The latest survey from Germany shows that this desire for unity is not only theological but also resonates with many ordinary citizens.

Among those polled, Catholics expressed the strongest backing for bringing the two historic branches of Christianity together under one roof.

“Nearly a third of Germans say the country’s Protestant and Catholic churches should merge, according to a new poll reported by the German evangelical magazine IDEA.”

While the poll reflects shifting attitudes in a once strongly Christian nation, many faithful Germans continue to uphold the importance of doctrinal clarity alongside any moves toward greater cooperation.

Evangelical voices in particular have stressed that true unity must be grounded in shared confession of the gospel rather than institutional merger alone.

“Catholics were the most supportive of any Christian group surveyed.”
