New documentation shows that Catholic institutions in Rome gave shelter to thousands of Jews fleeing the Nazis, a Thursday statement said.
The statement was issued jointly by the Pontifical Biblica Institute in Rome, Rome’s Jewish Community and Israel’s official Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem.
Researchers from the three institutions presented the findings at a conference held at the Museum of the Shoah, which is near the Great Synagogue of Rome.
That ’70s Show actor Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison on Thursday for raping two women.
The decision came after a Los Angeles jury found Masterson, 47, guilty of two of three counts of forcible rape during a retrial in May.
What brought the presidents of Turkey and Russia into an alliance with no name? Their geo-political opportunism was part of it, but mainly it was the inherent ideological hatred of Western civilization that eventually made the Turkish president a useful instrument in the Russian president’s reckless campaign to harm the interests of the West.

For months, the left-wing media have been lying outright to their audiences about the status of President Biden’s corruption scandal. Despite heaps of documents, damning statements from multiple witnesses, and sworn testimony from whistleblowers, journalists are still claiming with alarming frequency that there is “no evidence” Biden was involved in an influence-peddling scheme as Vice President.
Josh Alexander, the Christian teen whose views on gender got him arrested by his Catholic school, has been fighting for months to get back into class.
Fortunately, the 17-year-old has just won a court battle that allows him to appeal his expulsion from St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew, Ont.
Gary Wright, the spiritually minded singer-songwriter who helped modernize the sound of pop music with his pioneering use of synthesizers while crafting infectious and seemingly inescapable hits of the 1970s, notably “Dream Weaver” and “Love Is Alive,” died on Monday at his home in Palos Verdes Estates, Calif. He was 80.
Who doesn’t remember this tune.
Conservative party members will assemble in Quebec City starting Thursday for a three-day policy convention — a chance to craft a playbook to woo voters who are showing signs of fatigue with the governing Liberals.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has seen his fortunes improve over the summer months with the party registering higher support in public opinion polls — figures that suggest the party could form a majority government if the next election were held any time soon.
Poilievre is laser-focused on affordability, inflation and the government’s perceived failings but some party members have other issues on their mind.
Mayor Eric Adams warned that the raging migrant crisis will “destroy” New York City and tore into President Biden for ignoring his pleas for help, saying the White House has given “no support” for the thousands of asylum seekers arriving each month.
“I’m gonna tell you something, New Yorkers, never in my life have I had a problem that I didn’t see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this,” Adams said at a town hall on the Upper West Side Wednesday night. “This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City.”
They should declare themselves a sanctuary city.

Vehicles stolen from Canada are increasingly ending up in Africa and the Middle East but authorities in those countries say Canada’s law enforcement agencies have not engaged them on the issue.
The vehicles, some of which still contained their Canadian registration documents, were being off-loaded through various online channels, including social media, with buyers paying close to market price.
“We’ve become a global donor in stolen vehicles,” Michael Rothe of the Canadian Financing and Leasing Association told CBC. “From our perspective, it’s a lack of enforcement.”
A lack of enforcement? Hell the police won’t even respond if you report your car stolen.
Journalist Peter C. Newman went from Czech refugee to chronicler of Canada
In September, 1940, on the night before he and his parents landed at Halifax’s Pier 21, the 11-yr-old Czech war refugee Petă Neumann stayed up late to gaze out at the Atlantic and imagine the land where they were about to make their new home. It had been a harrowing months-long run from the Nazis, he later wrote: The family had secured visas mere days before they would have been deported from Venice to certain death in Czechoslovakia; lain helpless on the beach at Biarritz, France, as a Luftwaffe gunner rained death from above; and survived the U-boat torpedoing of their convoy to Canada. Ahead of them now, young Petă envisioned more adventure in the mysterious “land of eternal snow” he had seen in newsreels.

Over a span of 11 years, annual rates of Ontario emergency department visits for cannabis-related traffic injuries surged dramatically, according to a recent study from The Ottawa Hospital.
The study, published Wednesday in JAMA Network Open, looked at cannabis involvement in emergency room visits for traffic injuries between 2010 and 2021 in Ontario. It also examined shifts in cannabis consumption and driving habits following federal legalization in 2018.
During the pandemic, you weren’t allowed to enter a supermarket without a mask. These days, of course, there’s no need for that. Instead, you need a stab vest, a riot shield and a bulletproof helmet.
Alright, so that’s possibly an exaggeration. But not by much. Our supermarkets really do seem perilously close to anarchy. Shoplifting is surging – and staff are terrified.
It’s got so bad that Tesco is getting staff to wear body-cams, to help catch shoplifters who assault them. This is more and more common: incidents of violent behaviour towards retail employees have doubled since before the pandemic. Sainsbury’s, meanwhile, has started carrying out bag searches at its self-service tills.
As Justin Trudeau continues his eight year mantra of declaring that he is delivering a strong economy, is successfully fighting climate change, is helping the middle class grow richer, is creating a better society, all of which more and more Canadians are realizing is just so much B.S., columnists and pundits are starting to suggest that SOMEONE tell the P.M. that he has to go, for the good of Canada, his Party, and himself.
Justice Marie-Josée Hogue of the Quebec Court of Appeal will chair a public inquiry into foreign interference in Canada’s elections, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc announced Thursday.
Hogue’s first report is due Feb. 29 and her mandate will focus on alleged acts of interference by China and other states, including Russia, he said.
Former governor general David Johnston was tasked with looking into allegations that China tried to meddle in the past two federal elections. He resigned from the position in June, saying his role had become too muddled in political controversy for him to continue.
I have zero faith in this farce, it’s like asking Al Capone to investigate bootlegging.
