The Catholic Church’s new Pope has publicly described migration as a “huge problem” even as he also urges Christians to treat migrants with respect. “It’s a huge problem, and it’s a problem worldwide, not only in this country. There’s got to be a way both to solve the problem, but also treat people with respect,” then-Cardinal Robert Prevost preached in a Catholic Mass, according to an undated video: His comments recognized both the Catholic Church’s universalist and idealist perspective and the practical management problem facing elected secular governments: Both the first [Old Testament] reading and the [New Testament] Gospel make...

A surprising shift is underway at the bottom of the world. After decades of contributing to rising sea levels, Antarctica’s massive ice sheet has started growing again — at least for now. A study published this week in Science China Earth Sciences finds that the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) experienced a record-breaking mass gain between 2021 and 2023, largely due to anomalous increases in precipitation. The rebound is especially significant in East Antarctica, where four major glacier basins had previously shown signs of destabilization.

“We’re not going to allow this mass deportation,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said during an appearance on The David Pakman Show, making it clear that state police will not cooperate. “We’re not going to allow this mass deportation,” Hochul said, explaining that they will cooperate only when there is a warrant or someone is on the terrorism watch list. “Where we will cooperate — and I did this even under the Biden administration — if you have a warrant, or you know, someone’s on a terrorism watch list or committing crimes in their home country, or committing crimes...

He said that his critics may be surprised to learn that he...

Former New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “Ana Cabrera Reports” that the Trump administration’s planned mass deportations were “just not American.” De Blasio said, “I want to note that, for example, the unaccompanied minors. I went to Tornillo, Texas, and saw one of those detention facilities for those kids. Americans were outraged. It doesn’t fit our values to see families separated under any circumstance. Americans believe in due process. Americans do not like the notion of the knock at the door and government authorities taking people away.” He continued, “So I think what’s happened is...

While the OCU allowed parishes to choose their preferred Christmas date during a transitional period, the majority of believers embraced the new calendar.

Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Rep. Nanette Diaz Barragán (D-Calif.) said mass deportations could cause a spike in costs for American families, including at the grocery store. President-elect Trump has repeatedly pledged large-scale deportations of illegal immigrants, which could greatly impact the workforce. “What we also see, I think, under mass deportations, as you’re going to see further cost for American families going up if you start deporting the agricultural workforce and people in the essential jobs that are putting food on the table, grocery costs are only going to go up,” Barragán said during a Wednesday afternoon MSNBC appearance. She...

While announcing more executive gun control Thursday night, President Joe Biden (D) claimed he has “been to all but three mass shootings in the United States of America.” Biden was talking about “spending time with surviving families” when he said, “I’ve been to all but three mass shootings in the United States of America.” Understand that the National Firearms Act (1934) was passed, in part, because of the St. Valentine’s massacre of 1929. Seven people were killed in that shooting, but Biden was not born until 1942 so he could not have “been there” for that one.
