ROME (AP) — Pope Francis has blasted the “backwardness” of some conservatives in the U.S. Catholic Church, saying they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time. Francis’ comments were an acknowledgment of the divisions in the U.S. Catholic Church, which has been split between progressives and conservatives who long found support in the doctrinaire papacies of St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage. Many conservatives have blasted Francis’ emphasis instead on

Florida’s public schools will now teach students that some Black people benefited from slavery because it taught them useful skills, part of new African American history standards approved Wednesday that were blasted by a state teachers' union as a “step backward.” The Florida State Board of Education’s new standards includes controversial language about how “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit,” according to a 216-page document about the state’s 2023 standards in social studies, posted by the Florida Department of Education.

US President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, is expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanour tax crimes and admit to illegally possessing a gun while a drug user, after a five-year investigation. The US Attorney in Delaware has filed papers indicating a plea agreement has been reached. The terms of the agreement are likely to keep him out of jail. Top Republicans have called it evidence of a "two-tiered system of justice". In theory, the president's son still faces a maximum penalty of a year in prison on each of the tax charges and 10 years in prison on the gun charge, the

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon said Tuesday that it overestimated the value of the weapons it has sent to Ukraine by $6.2 billion over the past two years — about double early estimates — resulting in a surplus that will be used for future security packages. Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said a detailed review of the accounting error found that the military services used replacement costs rather than the book value of equipment that was pulled from Pentagon stocks and sent to Ukraine. She said final calculations show there was an error of $3.6 billion in the current fiscal year and $2

Federal prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of a summer 2021 meeting in which former President Donald Trump acknowledges he held onto a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran, multiple sources told CNN, undercutting his argument that he declassified everything. The recording indicates Trump understood he retained classified material after leaving the White House, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation. On the recording, Trump’s comments suggest he would like to share the information but he’s aware of limitations on his ability post-pr

Predicting two terms in the White House should he defeat Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination next year, Ron DeSantissaid he would go on to “destroy leftism in this country”. “I will be able to destroy leftism in this country and leave woke ideology in the dustbin of history,” the Florida governor told Fox News. DeSantis declared his long-expected run last week, in a glitch-filled appearance on Twitter with its owner, Elon Musk. The widely panned launch followed a long phony war period in which DeSantis toured early voting states and launched a campaign-orient

Politics Italy to ban the use of the English language?
Chris posted a topic in World News & Discussion
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's political party, the Brothers of Italy, has proposed a draft bill aimed at promoting and protecting the Italian language by imposing fines of up to €100,000 (Rs 89.3 lakh) on public and private entities that use foreign languages, particularly English, in official communications. The proposal comes amid concerns that the increasing use of foreign languages in Italy undermines the country's cultural identity and damages its economy. The bill, which has yet to be approved by parliament, argues that the spread of English demeans and mortifies the Itali -
