"Pope Francis took a recent trip to the
United States and met with both religious
and political leaders. What does this trip
tell us about the state of the Catholic Church
today? What are we to make of his progressive
stances on the economy and the environment?
The African nation of Burkina Faso experienced
a near coup when Regiment of Presidential
Security forces (RSP) attempted to unseat
Burkinabe President Michael Kafando."
