VATICAN CIT yeezy slide Y -- Pope Francis on Palm Sunday urged young people not to be silent air force one and let their voices be heard, even in the face of corrupt or silent elders. The pope s message comes on the heels of a meeting of young Catholics who told the Vatican they want a more transparent and authentic church, and a day after hundreds of thousands marched in youth-led rallies across the United States to demand greater gun control. The temptation to silence young people has always existed, Francis said. There are many ways to silence young people and make them invisible. ... There are many ways to sedate them, to keep them from getting involved, to make their dreams flat and dreary, petty and plaintive. But he told youths in his homily that you have it in you to shout, even if we older people and leaders, very often corrupt, keep quiet. Pope Francis blesses faithful gathered to attend the Palm Sunday Mass in Saint Peter s Square at the Vatican, on Sun., March 25, 2018 Reuters As the Roman Catholic Church enters Holy Week, retracing the stor af1 y of the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection three days later on Easter Sunday, Francis urged youth to join those who offer praise, and not the masses calling for crucifixion. Dear young people, the joy that Jesus awakens in you is a source of anger and irritation to some, since a joyful person is hard to manipulate, the pontiff said.So Zgsa Brits Back Gay Partnerships

WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- New Zealand authorities made an embarrassing about-face on Friday when prosecutors dropped a murder-for-hire charge against AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd, saying there was not enough evidence to proceed.But the 60-year-old member of the popular Australian band still faces a serious charge of threateni air force ng to kill, which comes with a maximum prison term of seven years. He also faces charges of possessing methamphetamine and marijuana.Police had initially accused Rudd of trying to arrange for a hit man to carry out two killings, and had charged him with attempting to procure murder, which comes with a maximum 10-year sentence. But when prosecutors took over the case, they quickly dropped the charge. The file was obtained today and reviewed, Tauranga Crown Solicitor Greg Hollister-Jones said in a statement Friday, adding he had made the d adidas samba ecision that there was insufficient evidence to proceed with the charge of attempting to procure murder. Rudd s lawyer, Paul Mabey, said the damage to his client had been incalculable and he was considering possible remedies. The charge alleging an attempt to procure murder should never have been laid, Mabey said in a s adidas campus tatement, adding Mr. Rudd has suffered unnecessary and extremely damaging publicity as a result of widespread and sensational reporting of a very serious allegation, which on any basis was never justified. Mabey said Rudd would defend the other charges against him.Bill Hodge, a law professor at the U Gorx Syrian troops fire on mourners: Activists

House Speaker Paul Ryan, the No. 3 U.S. official, said he was among those informed.WHATrsquo;S THE JUSTIFICATION FOR UNILATERAL ACTION A U.S. official says as commander in chief, the president has power under Article II of the Constitution to use force overseas to defend U.S. national interest. The official said that the U.S. has a strong national interest in promoting regional stability, which the use of chemical weapons threatens. The official added that this justification is similar to what President Obama used in 2011 to use force in Libya.
