Read the stories in this episode:

1. Edward J. Weisenburger, archbishop of Detroit, said Catholics in southeast Michigan “stand in solidarity” with the Jewish community after a gunman attacked Temple Israel, while synagogue leaders confirmed all children at the nearby early childhood center were safe.
2. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is backing continued legal protections for Haitian migrants as the U.S. Supreme Court weighs a request from the Trump administration to allow the end of Temporary Protected Status for more than 350,000 Haitians living in the United States.
3. Speaking at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV urged Christian leaders responsible for war to undertake a serious examination of conscience and rediscover the sacrament of reconciliation as a path toward restoring peace and unity with God.
4. Scotland’s Catholic bishops warned that proposed assisted suicide legislation could undermine conscience protections for faith-based institutions and health care providers, raising ethical concerns about the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill.
5. After years of hands-on charity work in Rome, Konrad Krajewski — widely known as the pope’s “Robin Hood” for his service to the poor — is returning to Poland to serve as archbishop of Łódź.
