When 99-year-old Eleuthera Abus lifts her right arm, she winces as the broken bones move. It's been six months since her fall. "All I can do is manage her pain," says Alena Yap, the 28-year-old doctor who is examining her on her porch. "She really needs to have the bone pinned. But the family is refusing to take her to hospital." Eleuthera's daughters are not heartless. They are poor. The nearest surgical facility is hundreds of miles away across the sea from the tiny island of Diit where they live. It's one of a cluster of islands that make up...

Jon Wang, an Asian-American, achieved a nearly perfect sore of 1590 out of 1600 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test and attained 4.65 grade-point average in high school — well beyond perfect. Most folks likely would assume that waves of red carpets would come rolling in from elite colleges that would love nothing more than to scoop up a student boasting such numbers. Indeed, Wang told Fox Nation he applied to six "top-tier" institutions of higher learning — Harvard, Princeton, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the California Institute of Technology, Carnegie-Mellon, and the University of California, Berkeley. But the verdict —...

For years, the French Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon defied the downward trend in priestly vocations. But that came to an abrupt halt in 2022. And now, for the second year running, no ordinations will take place in the diocese in southeastern France. The reason why is no mystery: The Vatican has imposed a moratorium on ordinations as it investigates concerns that the diocese’s admissions policy is too lax.
