(LifeSiteNews) — After nearly two weeks offline, Google has restored an influential Catholic website following a review into an alleged violation of “hate speech.”

As of July 23, Messa in Latino (MiL) has returned to its normal online operations: publishing news and analysis on the Catholic Church, especially with an emphasis on Vatican affairs. MiL – arguably the foremost Italian language site of its kind – had been abruptly taken down on July 11.

The brief email sent from blogger.com, run by Google, informed MiL that the site had been taken down with immediate effect due to an unspecified violation of its “hate speech policy.”

No further information was given, and MiL noted today that they are still without any more precise information about what caused the site’s temporary removal.

“The real reasons are unknown,” the editors wrote. “We can only assume, on the basis that in the weeks immediately preceding single posts had been removed (but then restored), always with the same very generic motivation, that some malevolent reader (we know of someone who bragged about it) targeted us, repeatedly ‘flagging’ our content.”
