John 19:25-34 Friends, today we celebrate the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church.We hear in today’s Gospel that, as he was dying on the cross, Jesus looked to his mother and the disciple whom he loved, and he said to Mary, “Woman, behold, your son,” and then to John, “Behold, your mother.” We are told that “from that hour the disciple took her into his home.”If Mary is the one through whom Christ was born, and if the Church is indeed Christ’s Mystical Body, then she must be, in a very real sense, the Mother of...

“Debt Ceiling Tests Speaker McCarthy as He Rides Breezily Through High-Wire Act of His Career” WASHINGTON (AP) — One morning during the debt ceiling crisis, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy climbed onto his mountain bike and took a ride along the National Mall, marveling at the monuments. The next day he arrived for negotiations at the Capitol carting in tortilla chips and queso for the beleaguered reporters waiting outside his office during the 24/7 talks. Throughout the weeks of grueling negotiations McCarthy has remained relentlessly optimistic, breezing through the anxiety-filled hours, seemingly certain of the outcome.

Japan put its ballistic missile defences on alert on Monday and vowed to shoot down any projectile that threatens its territory, after North Korea notified it of a planned satellite launch between May 31 and June 11. The nuclear-armed North says it has completed its first military spy satellite and leader Kim Jong Un has approved final preparations for the launch. It would be the North's latest step in a series of missile launches and weapons tests in recent months, including one of a new, solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile. Tokyo expects North Korea to fire the rocket carrying its satellite...

With the Biden administration preparing to end Title 42 on Thursday, and Texas bracing for the coming onslaught, several border security measures were approved in a meeting of the Texas House that lasted until nearly 2 a.m. The centerpiece bill, however, was defeated after House Speaker Dade Phelan sustained a point of order on the bill, sending it back to committee past the deadline for bills to be considered.

A study reports that diet contributes to HPV infection leading to cervical cancer. For US women aged 15-59, the prevalence of any HPV infection is 40.7%, and high-risk-HPV infection is 19.2%. Low-risk-HPV prevalence was 21.5% and HPV-negative, 59.3%. Generally, US women have low Healthy Eating Index scores in greens and beans and fruits. These results are consistent with the authors' previous antioxidant study, which indicates the four dietary antioxidants (vitamins A, B2, E, and folate) were inversely associated with high-risk-HPV infection. These dietary antioxidants can be found in dark-green vegetables (such as spinach, kale, and broccoli), beans (such as lima...

Researchers have published what they say is the first study to identify a new form of treatment for rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder. This condition affects more than 3 million Americans, mostly adults over the age of 50, who often unknowingly physically act out their dreams with vocal sounds or sudden, violent arm and leg movements during slumber. The study outlines a novel model to better characterize how REM sleep behavior disorder develops due to neurodegeneration—when brain cells lose function over time—which is associated with the accumulation of tau protein. This model provides an early-life biomarker of impending...

Swansea University researchers have found that a drug commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes can potentially be used in the treatment of autoimmune disorders. Academics have found that the drug, canagliflozin (also known as Invokana), could be used to treat autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus as it targets T-cells, which form an essential component of the immune system. Canagliflozin is a drug that controls blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, however researchers have found an unexpected role for the drug involving the human immune system. Existing research has reported that targeting...

Uganda's president on Monday signed into law strict new anti-gay legislation that would approve the death penalty for people found guilty of having gay sex when HIV positive. The draconian bill received wide condemnation from the European Union, the United States and the United Nations when it was first adopted back in March, but many in the East African country support the brutal legislation. Outside of the country, rights groups have dubbed the legislation 'state-sponsored homophobia'. The version of the bill signed by President Yoweri Museveni doesn't criminalise those who identify as LGBTQ, a key concern for campaigners who condemned...
