I donโ€™t think itโ€™s rich enough to end world hunger. The church is however the leading provider of aid among christians through Catholic charities worldwide. For all of its mistakes throughout the ages, and some of it has been horrific, the church has been on the front lines helping those in need.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam โ€œSubuโ€ Vedam now faces deportation.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Pope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life' Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

Barron Trump tipped for top TikTok job US presidentโ€™s 19-year-old son could be appointed to the appโ€™s board

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

They have fired the staff of the CDCโ€™s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

James Talarico: We have politicians who have โ€˜Christ followerโ€™ in their Twitter bios, but they are kicking the sick off health care. It's estimated 51,000 Americans will die needlessly if these GOP cuts go through. That's 51,000 flesh and blood human beings. Thatโ€™s a moral crime

We've heard from many people who are interested in attending memorials in the United Kingdom or the United States โ€“ but Dr. Jane's wishes were that people honour her locally.

We're planning an official memorial event, which the public can attend in person and online.

Leo punctuates Francisโ€™ pontificate and builds on his own themes regarding the poor. The document serves as a sign of continuity between Francis and Leo, and is a clear mandate to those who would treat the poor as if they donโ€™t exist. You cannot call yourself self a Christian and cast away the poor.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we havenโ€™t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said โ€œno one has died" because of his governmentโ€™s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

The Americans starving these children wear crucifixes and call themselves โ€œChristians.โ€

People are not what they tell you they are; they are how they behave.

Why is he desperate? Donโ€™t give us all false hopes. I hate the guy and his lawless regime, but I donโ€™t see him as desperate. Heโ€™s moving as fast as he can while heโ€™s got all three branches of government, and laughing all the way to the bank. Heโ€™s clumsy but strong, and I hate him for it.
