LONDON (AP) -- The British man who killed four people during a London rampage had made three trips to Saudi Arabia: He taught English there twice on a work visa and returned on a visa usually granted to those going on a religious pilgrimage....
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Nominees appearing before the Senate all have one goal in mind: Win confirmation. And when one party controls the Senate and the White House, the strategy of saying as little as possible doesn't vary much. But because Supreme Court nominees spend several long days in televised hearings, they still manage to reveal a few things about themselves, professionally and personally....
As the political drama over health care legislation in Washington fades, the rest of the country faces a more immediate concern: Getting insurance for next year....
Vatican Radio’s English shortwave (SW) broadcast for Asia has come to an end, with its last transmission going out Friday evening, after nearly 60 years of service.  However this does not mean it has disappeared altogether. What ultimately closed on March 24 as Vatican Radio’s English Service for Asia, is however very much alive online on Vatican Radio’s website.  The gradual phasing out of Vatican Radio’s shortwave frequencies is seen as part of the reform of the Roman Curia or the central administration of the Catholic Church here in the Vatican, called for by Pope Francis.  The Pope established the new dicastery or office of the Secretariat for Communications on June 27, 2015, ‎bringing 9 media bodies of the Vatican, including Vatican Radio, under the Secretariat’s direction, with the purpose of overhauling, streamlining and ultimately merging them as a cohesive unit. What ended on March 24 as Vatican Radio’s English S...
(Vatican Radio)  Pope Francis on Saturday greeted the Rom, Islamic, and immigrant families of the ‘White Houses’ in the Forlanini quarter of Milan at the beginning of his one-day pastoral visit to the city.Upon his arrival, residents gave the Holy Father two gifts: a priestly stole and a picture of a statuette of the Madonna.Pope Francis thanked them for their gifts and said it was important for him to be welcomed to Milan by a community of families.He said the stole was a reminder that he comes “as a priest: I come to Milan as a priest”.He also recognized that it had been handmade by several residents of the Forlanini quarter: “It’s a reminder that the Christian priest is chosen from among the people and at the service of the people. My priesthood…is a gift from Christ, but it is ‘woven’ by you, by our people with their faith, labours, prayers, and tears.”Pope Francis then said the statuette of Our Lady is a sign o...
(Vatican Radio)  Archbishop Bernardito Auza has addressed the UN on the need to better integrate and coordinate the body’s water-related goals and targets, saying “our right to water is also a duty regarding water”.The Holy See’s Apostolic Nuncio and Permanent Observer to the United Nations said questions about the right to water are both “basic and pressing”:“[B]asic, because where there is no water there is no life; and pressing, because there is urgency to protect and care better for our common home. Not all water is life-giving, but only water that is safe and of good quality,” he said.Archbishop Auza repeated Pope Francis’ words to a Vatican workshop on the human right to water in February, saying “our right to water is also a duty regarding water, including the duty of every State to implement, also through juridical instruments, policies concerning the need for a secure supply of drinking water.”He concl...
(Vatican Radio)  The Holy See has called on the United Nations to promote “responsibility for those who come after us”, in the areas of climate change and justice for the poor.Archbishop Bernardito Auza’s words came in an address to a high-level discussion at the UN on “Climate Change and the Sustainable Development Agenda”.The Holy See’s Apostolic Nuncio and Permanent Observer to the UN cited Pope Francis’ Encyclical Laudato Si’: “how inseparable the bonds are between concern for nature, justice for the poor, commitment to society, and our own interior peace”.He also repeated the Pope’s exhortation not to separate human existence from nature.“The Holy Father thus urges us to consider that nature cannot be regarded as something separate from ourselves or as a mere setting in which we live. We are part of nature, included in it and thus in constant interaction with it.”Archbishop Auza concluded with ...

During the question and answer session the Holy Father said that in a world that is multicultural, multi-religious, and multi-ethnic,  the Church, over its entire history, has had much to teach us and to help us towards a culture of diversity. The Holy Spirit, Pope Francis noted “is the master of diversity.&rdqu...
Austin, Texas, Mar 25, 2017 / 06:01 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Among the targets of Texas pro-life advocates are so-called ‘wrongful birth’ lawsuits and Planned Parenthood’s alleged involvement in the sale of unborn baby parts. Both are finding some success in the State Senate.In some cases, parents of a child born with a disability such as Down syndrome have filed lawsuits against doctors claiming that they were not informed of a disability in time to procure an abortion. Such claims aim to secure the costs of raising the child, even lifetime costs.Senate Bill 25 would prevent parents of children born with disabilities from suing their physician.The bill, which has the support of the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops, passed the state senate by a vote of 21-9 March 21. It now heads to the Texas House of Representatives for consideration.“We are thrilled that the Senate has passed S.B. 25, because it reverses a decades-old injustice and bad public policy that de...
