After Ontario Debates About The Lord's Prayer, Quebec Grapples With Crucifix's Place On Its National Assembly

May 23, 2008
If Ontario has its beef against the Lord's Prayer being recited daily at the Legislature, Quebec lawmakers on Friday dealt with its Christian tradition through a question if it should keep the crucifix on its National Assembly or remove the Christian symbol.

The Christian icon became a major issue in the French-speaking province celebrating its 4th centennial because of a controversial report prepared by the Bouchard-Taylor Commission.

Fourteen members of a Russian doomsday cult returned to civilization on Tuesday after six months of living in a primitive underground cave. They were anticipating the end of the world in May. A total of 35 people entered the cave in early November to await the end of the world, which they said would happen in May. They told authorities that they would detonate gas canisters if police tried to remove them by force. Vice Governor Oleg Melnichenko said the cult's underground hillside shelter, which was built in the Penza region, about 400 miles southeast of Moscow, had collapsed around dawn Tuesday due to melting snow.
