Wading into Durbin controversy, Pope Leo shows himself attuned to US debates
"Someone who says, 'I'm against abortion, but I'm in favor of the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States,' I don't know if that's pro-life." the pontiff said.

It’s Happened: The United States of America Is
No Longer a Democracy
Trump’s prosecution order to Bondi gives up the pretense. And the country is headed swiftly into unknown territory.
