A Transtelexhase The Facebook post in which the rector of the Transylvanian Reformed Church in Kalutashj, Istvan Vinci Minea, responded to the opening of the Paris Olympics arrived several days late.
On July 27, the church leader posted a post threatening LGBTQ performers at the highly controversial Olympic opening with medieval torture, but perhaps even more brutal.
Take them all out alive if they still have gourds, then put burning coals in their holes, then skin them alive and finally quarter them.
– The dean said, while the image accompanying the text shows a montage of the most controversial scenes at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, with LGBTQ artists.
As Transtelex wrote, the archbishop published the post when the scandal surrounding the opening of the Olympics was in full swing, so they searched the reformed archbishop's Facebook page and quickly found his previous post: “The cup is full. Put on the armor of God and destroy, cut off and send this degenerate race of Satan to the fires of hell,” he shared his thoughts.
“When we browsed István Minya Vincze’s Facebook page, we noticed that every second of his posts was blocked, according to the explanation given by Meta, because they contained false information. “The reformed deacon shared and circulated all the fake news related to the Olympics on his Facebook page, and these posts were available not only to his friends and followers of more than two thousand people, but also to anyone caught by the algorithm,” he writes.
He later apologized: “Maybe it was too strong.”
After discovering the post, the newspaper staff also contacted the dean Istvan Vinci-Minya and asked him if he was serious about what he wrote. In his response, the head of his church explained that he was shocked by the opening of the Olympics, and that there was an anointing, which the LGBTQ community supports. Transtilex wrote: “In response to the comment that said: ‘It’s a long way from disagreement to quartet, Vinci-Minya responded by saying that he wrote it in his first anger, and that it was probably too strong.” The bishop is convinced that the LGBTQ community’s intention was behind the desecration.
But, according to the author of the article, we cannot talk about the first intifada, because on the day of the ill-fated post, the bishop had posted on his Facebook page at least ten times, most of them content related to the opening of the Olympics, and one of them had already called for the extermination of homosexuals. It was also noted that Meta had blocked several of his posts in recent days, perhaps after more people reported him for offensive or homophobic content or hate speech, or simply because the posts he shared contained false information. The response was: “Facebook blocks what it wants.”
Transtelex contacted the Bishop of the Reformed Church Region of Transylvania, Béla Cato, regarding this issue, but they have not received an answer yet.
