- Amid recent deadly immigration enforcement operations, Catholics in Minneapolis are wrestling with sorrow, anger, fear and faith as they navigate tensions between federal and local authorities, while continuing to serve their communities.

- During their routine "ad limina apostolorum" -- Latin for "to the threshold of the apostles" -- visit to Rome, Peru's bishops made headlines for an unexpected and personal moment: a surprise lunch visit from Pope Leo XIV, a longtime member of the Peruvian bishops' conference and former bishop of Chiclayo.
