Don't shut door on foreigners or migrants, Pope Francis says in Hungary

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:38:01 GMT

Pope Francis on Sunday (30 April) presided over a big outdoor Mass where he urged Hungarians not to close the door on migrants and those who are "foreign or unlike us", in contrast to the anti-immigrant policies of nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban.More than 50,000 people gathered in and around the square behind Budapest's iconic neo-gothic parliament building, a symbol of the capital on the Danube, to see the pope on the last day of his visit to the country.He continued a theme he began on the first day of his visit on Friday, when he warned against the dangers of rising nationalism in Europe, but put it in gospel context, saying that closed doors were painful and contrary to the teachings of Jesus.Orban, a populist who was attending the Mass, sees himself as a protector of Christian values. He has said he would not allow Hungary to be transformed into an "immigrant country", as he claims others in Europe have become, unrecognizable to its native peoples.In his homily, 86-yea...

Miss Manners: I thought she had been hacked but she really sent me this message. Now what do I do?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:38:01 GMT

DEAR MISS MANNERS: Donation request platforms are becoming ever more popular. Sadly, many families rely on these online fundraising campaigns for medical bills and other very valid needs. However, I find myself becoming a little cynical and exasperated with repeated posts and requests.For example, a family I know is raising money for a trip to another city for their daughter’s medical procedure but also shares posts about their family vacations to Disney.Usually, I just choose whether to give or not, and don’t think twice. But I recently received a personal message from a friend whose fund I donated modestly to in the past. She messaged me that she has more than $600 in medical expenses coming up, that she had created a fundraiser and that any amount would help.I was taken aback by the manner of the request, and since my friend hadn’t posted anything about it, I thought her account had been hacked. I reached out to her and asked if her account was compromised. She ...

Truex wins NASCAR race at Dover for 3rd time on a Monday

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:38:01 GMT

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Martin Truex Jr. grew up in New Jersey wanting to follow his dad into racing. Martin Truex, though, mostly raced on free weekends when he wasn’t running Sea Watch International, which harvests and processes clam products.The Joe Gibbs Racing driver worked as a teenager on his dad’s clamming boat, often rising before dawn ahead of a day spent on choppy waters, knowing even then that life at sea wasn’t for him.“I’m glad I figured out how to go fast so I could get the hell off that boat,” Truex said.Truex got off the boat, into stock cars and — after a bumpy start to his career — became one of the more dominant drivers of his era. He had achieved just about all he could — except celebrate with his brother as winners on a NASCAR weekend.With dad at the track, Truex mastered the Monster Mile on a Monday for the third time in his career, the former NASCAR champion snapping a 54-race winless streak overall in the Cup Series at Dover Motor Speedway.Thank...
