Shockwaves from the home-invasion slayings in the Boston area of three elderly members of a devout Catholic family have reached Pope Francis. Shockwaves from the gruesome home-invasion slayings in the Boston area of three elderly members of a devout Catholic family have reached Pope Francis at the Vatican, a priest told grieving parishioners at a service held for the victims . During a Tuesday night Mass of peace at the Our Lady Help of Christians Church in Newton, Massachusetts, Rev. Dan Riley said Cardinal Sean O'Malley, archbishop of the Archdiocese of Boston, called him from Rome to inform him that he is praying for the victims' family with the pope. "He was about to go into a meeting with the pope and he promised that he would inform the pope of what happened and that he and the pope would pray out loud together, specifically for the family," Riley said.

It was supposed to be a day of celebration with the renewal of the wedding vows, but then a friend found Bruno and Gilda "Jill" D'Amore failed and a relative dead. It was supposed to be a day of celebration with the renewal of the wedding vows they took 50 years ago, but when Bruno and Gilda "Jill" D'Amore failed to show up for the ceremony at their church on Sunday, a friend went to their Newton, Massachusetts, home and discovered the couple and Jill D'Amore's 97-year- old mother stabbed and bludgeoned to death, authorities said. Now, questions are swirling around why a 41-year-old man arrested Monday and charged in the triple homicide allegedly targeted the three elderly victims, described by their parish priest as "salt of the earth people." As the suspect, Christopher Ferguson awaits arraignment, the brutal crime has shaken to the core residents in the Boston-area city ranked in a 2022 SafeWise report as the second safest city for fam

Tenants say a 3-year ban on evictions kept them housed. Landlords say they're drowning in debt

Some landlords have gone without rental income for more than three years after Oakland, California, approved an eviction moratorium in March 2020 SAN FRANCISCO -- Retiree Pamela Haile has paid property taxes, insurance and other bills on a house she lets out in Oakland, but for more than three years her tenants have paid no rent thanks to one of the longest-lasting eviction bans in the country. The eviction moratorium in the San Francisco Bay Area city expires next month and Haile can't wait. The 69-year-old estimates she is owed more than $60,000 in back rent, money she doubts she will ever see. Moreover, the tenants have trashed her house and it will cost tens of thousands of dollars to make it habitable, she says. “It's unbelievable and it’s like, how can they have the nerve to just let something like this happen? If this happened to them, how would they feel?” Haile said of her tenants. "Dealing with this whole thing gets me so upset.” Eviction moratoriums were put in

Puig suggests Marc Marquez free to opt out of Honda MotoGP contract

Puig made the comments shortly after the team announced that Marquez will not take part in today’s Dutch GP as a result of the injuries picked up in a spate of crashes last time out in Germany. Marquez did contest yesterday’s sprint race at Assen, which he started and finished 17th following an accident with Ducati’s Enea Bastianini in qualifying. “We have a contract , but every person is free to do what they want in life,” said Puig. “And Honda is not a company that wants to have people who are not happy being at Honda. “So, of course we have a contract , but Honda respects Marc a lot. I want to think [he will stay] based on the contract , but I don’t have a [magic wand].” Questioned about Puig’s latest comments, Marquez himself would not be drawn on his future plans. “So now I am in a big moment and I cannot think about this,” said the Spaniard. “You cannot decide things about your future when you are in such a condition. During this month and a half I need to rebuild my b

Canada will require Google and Meta to pay media outlets for news under bill set to become law

A Canadian bill that will require Google and Meta to pay media outlets for news content that they share or otherwise repurpose on their platforms is set to become law OTTAWA, Ontario -- Canada's Senate on Thursday passed a bill that will require Google and Meta to pay media outlets for news content that they share or otherwise repurpose on their platforms. The bill, which is set to become law, was passed amid a standoff between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government and Silicon Valley tech giants. Ottawa has said the law creates a level playing field between online advertising giants and the shrinking news industry. And Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez has promised to push back on what he describes as “threats” from Facebook and Google to remove journalism from their platforms. Meta confirmed Thursday that it plans to comply with the bill by ending news availability on Facebook and Instagram for its Canadian users, as it had previously suggested. Meta would not

US falls significantly in global ranking for gender equality: Report

Image
The U.S. fell to 43rd in a ranking of gender equality out of 146 countries studied, according to a report from the World Economic Forum. The U.S. ranking for gender equality worldwide fell significantly over the past year due to a widening gap in political empowerment and health outcomes between men and women, according to a study released on Tuesday by the World Economic Forum. The report, which assesses equity between men and women on indexes ranging from economic participation to physical well-being, ranked the U.S. 43rd out of 146 countries studied, ranking directly beneath Colombia and above Luxembourg. Last year, the U.S. ranked 27th. The World Economic Forum convenes an annual meeting of the global elite in Davos, Switzerland, every January. The falloff in the U.S. ranking from last year is largely due to a widening gap between men and women in the realm of political empowerment, which measures factors such as the share of women who hold positions in the federal legislature and

Ancient Roman temple complex, with ruins of building where Caesar was stabbed, opens to tourists

Four temples from ancient Rome stand smack in the middle of one of the modern city's busiest crossroads ROME -- Four temples from ancient Rome, dating back as far as the 3rd century B.C. stand smack in the middle of one of the modern city's busiest crossroads. But until Monday, practically the only ones getting a close-up view of the temples were the cats that prowl the so-called “Sacred Area,” on the edge of the site where Julius Caesar was assassinated. With the help of funding from Bulgari, the luxury jeweler, the grouping of temples can now be visited by the public. For decades, the curious had to gaze down from the bustling sidewalks rimming Largo Argentina (Argentina Square) to admire the temples below. That's because, over the centuries, the city had been built up, layer by layer, to levels several meters above the area where Caesar masterminded his political strategies and was later fatally stabbed in 44 B.C. Behind two of the temples is a foundation and part of a
