Pope Francis has strongly outlined anew a comprehensive vision for the future of the Catholic church, forcefully telling an emblematic meeting of the entire Italian church community here that our times require a deeply merciful Catholicism that is unafraid of change.
I’m a reporter who intensely dislikes both major party presidential candidates, but my personal experience during this campaign, bolstered by witnessing the incredibly slanted coverage we’ve seen the past month, is that the media is far more interested in running negative stories about Donald Trump than about Hillary Clinton. Trump indisputably received a lot of positive coverage when he was running in the GOP primaries, but once this became a two-person race the gloves came off, which has had a huge impact on coverage and helped Hillary immensely.

The legendary Boston Red Sox pitcher’s comments on “The Lead” seemed to come out of left field after Tapper had been asking Schilling about his controversial social media posts about transgender Americans and Muslims. MORE
GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump received his first endorsement from a prominent newspaper, the Las Vegas Review-Journal — which is owned by major Republican donor Sheldon Adelson.

That’s the way the RCC is.
