** Turkey reverts Hagia Sophia to mosque despite Orthodox pleas
Amid a chorus of resistance from the global Orthodox world, Turkey's State Court ruled Friday to revert Istanbul's Hagia Sophia, one of the most iconic monuments for both Christianity and Islam, to a mosque.

** Pilgrimage to Santiago shows 'God doesn't make distinctions because of disability'
Alvaro Calvente, 15, defines himself as a young man with "capabilities you can't even imagine," who dreams of meeting Pope Francis and who sees the Eucharist as the "biggest celebration," so he spends several hours a day repeating the words of the Mass to himself. He and his father, Idelfonso, along with a family friend Francisco Javier Millan, are walking some 12 miles a day to try to reach Santiago de Compostela
