- In a March 5 video prayer, Pope Leo XIV urged world leaders to renounce violence, halt the arms race and pursue dialogue as global tensions rise following the outbreak of the U.S. and Israel-Iran war.
- As war spreads across the Middle East, Dormition Abbey in Jerusalem has become a place of shelter, prayer and interfaith solidarity, where Muslim, Christian and Jewish students gathered together during air-raid sirens.
- A six-year investigation by the Rhode Island attorney general identified 75 credibly accused clergy linked to more than 300 abuse victims in the Diocese of Providence between 1950 and 2011.
- Catholic environmental advocates say the rapid growth of AI data centers is straining water and power resources while placing pollution burdens on vulnerable communities.
