Pope vows no more cover ups on sexual abuse in letter to Catholics

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 08:17 AM PDT

In a highly personal letter addressed to "the people of God," Church language for all members, the pope appeared to be launching an appeal for all Catholics to face the crisis together and not let it tear the Church apart. The Catholic Church in the United States, Chile, Australia, and Ireland - where the pope is making a two-day visit this weekend - are reeling from crises involving sexual abuse of minors. In his letter, the pope referred to the suffering endured by minors due to sexual abuse at the hands of a "significant number of clerics and consecrated persons." The Vatican said it was the first time a pope had written to all of the world's some 1.2 billion Catholics about sexual abuse.

Iran lawmakers target Rouhani's finance minister as sanctions bite

Posted: 20 Aug 2018 01:54 AM PDT

Iranian lawmakers launched impeachment proceedings against the finance minister on Sunday, ramping up pressure on the president who is already facing attacks from hardliners over his handling of the economy in the face of new U.S. sanctions. A group of 33 MPs signed a motion accusing the minister, Masoud Karbasian, of being unable to manage the economy or form and implement policies. If lawmakers are unhappy with his answers, they can vote to impeach and sack him - a move they took two weeks ago against Iran's then minister of cooperatives, labor and social welfare, Ali Rabiei, after questioning his achievements.

Cossacks and flowers as Putin dances at Austrian minister's wedding

Posted: 19 Aug 2018 07:53 PM PDT

Russian President Vladimir Putin danced arm-in-arm with Austria's Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl at her wedding on Saturday, after receiving an invitation that opposition critics said undermined the West's stance against Moscow. Photographs showed Kneissl, 53, smiling in a long white and cream "dirndl" dress and talking to Putin as they danced in a vineyard in southern Styria province, the venue of her wedding to entrepreneur Wolfgang Meilinger. Putin - who made a toast in German at the wedding, according to the Kremlin - was pictured listening to her intently.
