Pope Benedict XVI issued an analysis of the history of clerical sexual abuse in NOChurch.

In a surprise move, Donald Trump 2-3 days ago announced that the U.S. was pulling out of Syria, completely out of the blue.
It is difficult to know whether this is Donald Trump realising that the U.S. attempt to use Islamists in Syria to oust Bashar A-Assad has failed, or whether it is part of a grander scheme. The American and European establishments are against the move, predictably so.
