** 500 years ago, it wasn't Protestants but Catholics embracing Luther
Renowned American scholar of religion Martin Marty, a Lutheran himself, has written a book on this year's 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, and he's reminding us that five centuries ago, it was Catholics, not Protestants, whose hearts Luther stirred -- because, he says, he hit on precisely the issues with which they were struggling at the time.

** Pope Francis wants the Catholic Church to tackle 'fake news'
For the next World Day of Social Communications, Pope Francis wants the Catholic Church to make a contribution to the mounting issue of "fake news," in part by seeking to promote "professional journalism which always seeks the truth, and therefore a journalism of peace that promotes understanding between people."
