 The sun has barely risen and already dozens of Afghan men are swapping fistfuls of bank notes, frantically betting in one of the country\’s goriest pastimes: bird fighting.

In a shady patch, under a cluster of trees in a Kabul park, two partridges face off at opposite ends of a small square of dirt.

Bill Donohue comments on media reaction to remarks made by Pope Francis on homosexual priests:
 
The pope speaks about materialism for one straight week in Brazil before millions of people, and his formal comments garner 74 news stories on Lexis-Nexis. He speaks off-the-cuff about homosexual priests before a handful of reporters on the airplane going back to Rome and his remarks trigger 220 news stories. One might logically conclude that the pope broke some new ground with his comments on gay priests. But he didn’t.
 
When asked about homosexual priests, Pope Francis said, \”If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge him?\” He added that \”The problem is not having this orientation. We must be brothers. The problem is lobbying by this orientation….\”
