Read the stories in this episode:
- A new poll published the day after President Donald Trump renewed his series of social media and verbal attacks on Pope Leo XIV, showed Americans broadly disapprove.
- The Catholic Church is the guardian of hope, whose members are called to speak clearly against all evil and in defense of human life, Pope Leo XIV said.
- African Catholic leaders are calling for urgent action to stop rising xenophobic violence in South Africa, where attacks on foreign nationals have left several dead and others injured.
- Several Catholic aid organizations said they remain "united in hope" for Ukraine, as Russia's war on that nation relentlessly rages on.
- New research shows the number of undocumented immigrants -- if defined as those without long-term authorization to reside in the U.S. including those granted short-term legal status -- reached an estimated 14.6 million in 2024, an "increasingly settled" population that reflects shifts in migration patterns.
