Question: Iran fiasco could cause EU financial crash: Soros

Represent this text to find a news title for it

The EU is staring down the barrel of a "major financial crisis" and an "existential" threat, but Brexit, one of its biggest problems, could be overturned.
That was the message in a speech in Paris by George Soros this week.

Orban (l) exemplified rise of EU populists, Soros said (Photo: premier.gov.pl)
"We may be heading for another major financial crisis," the 87-year old billionaire trader and philanthropist, who was born in Hungary, but who lives in New York, said.
"The European Union is in an existential crisis. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong," he said.
The US decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear arms control treaty could undermine market confidence in the US-European alliance, the world's top military and economic bloc, Soros said.
"We are now facing the termination of the nuclear arms deal with Iran and the destruction of the transatlantic alliance. This is bound to have a negative effect on the European economy," he said.
Soros spoke at a meeting of the European Council of Foreign Relations, a think tank, in the French capital, on Tuesday (29 May).
The EU faced an "existential" threat from the rise of populists in Europe, fuelled by the migration crisis, he also said.
"Unscrupulous leaders have exploited it [the migration crisis] even in countries that have accepted hardly any refugees. In Hungary, [prime minister] Victor Orban based his reelection campaign on falsely accusing me of planning to flood Europe, Hungary included, with Muslim refugees," Soros said.
"He is now posing as the defender of his version of a 'Christian Europe' that is challenging the values on which the European Union was founded," Soros added.
Brexit
Brexit, which he called "an immensely damaging process", "exemplified" how populist forces could wreak EU "territorial disintegration", he said.
The UK decision to leave the EU next year could still be overturned by a British parliamentary vote or a second referendum in the next five years, he also said, however.
"Divorce will be a long process, probably taking more than five years. Five years is an eternity in politics," he said.
"The British public must express its support [for staying in the EU] by a convincing margin in order to be taken seriously by Europe," he said.
Soros earlier contributed €800,000 to a pro-remain group, called Best for Britain, in the UK.
His Paris remarks were dubbed anti-democratic by pro-leavers in Britain's ruling Conservative Party.
"George Soros wants to overturn the largest democratic mandate in British electoral history," Andrea Jenkyns, a Tory MP told The Times, a British newspaper, on Wednesday, referring to the Brexit referendum in 2016.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, another Tory MP, told the LBC radio station: "We had the biggest democratic exercise in our nation's history - 17.4 million people voted to leave and of course that should be implemented. If, in 30 years' time, the UK wants to rejoin, that would be a matter for the electorate then."
Marshall Plan
The EU should also get its house in order on migration if it wanted to regain political ground from populists, Soros added in Paris.
Paying for African states to become more attractive places to live was the only way to reduce the numbers of people coming to Europe in the long term, he said.
The "Marshall Plan for Africa" would "require at least €30bn a year for a number of years" he said, referring to the US programme that paid for the reconstruction of Europe after World War II.
That meant member states such as Germany and France might have to set aside concerns on debt and extra EU spending, he indicated.
"Throughout history, the national debt always grew at times of war," Soros said.
"Harsh reality may force member states to set aside their national interests in the interest of preserving the European Union," he said.

Russia’s indefatigable president stormed to victory for his fourth term on a wave of admiration — or by stamping out all opposition, depending on which way you look at it. But in his Sunday night victory speech, given in a frosty Red Square, Vladimir Putin talked about unity. He told a cheering crowd they were part of a ‘big national team’ who would realise his grand vision for the motherland and that he would not be guided by ‘daily political calculations’. Western observers might take some convincing while diplomatic rows rumble on over the deployment of nerve agent on the streets of the UK and the question of Russian interference in the last US election.
But how dangerous is the Russian leader really? Perhaps less so than we imagine, says Gideon Rachman in his column. For while he is reckless, he is not irrational, and history suggests he can be deterred. It may be, argues Gideon, that Mr Putin is willing to take big risks when he believes that the west is not paying attention — Russia’s annexation of Crimea is a case in point. But when he meets clear resistance, he backs off.
While the president’s fans believe him to be a brilliant strategist who can get away with anything, the truth is that Mr Putin is prone to mistakes and makes calculations that often backfire. The result is that Russia is much poorer and more isolated than it should be, whatever the president’s grandiose rhetoric suggests.
Our digital cesspit:
The allegation that Cambridge Analytica accessed the Facebook profiles of millions of US voters and targeted them with personalised messages to help Donald Trump’s chances of election show us how connected devices can be abused and polluted to manipulate their users, argues John Thornhill. But before we assign all the blame to internet platforms we should take a look at our own complicity in fanning false news and fuelling a market for stories that stoke disgust and fear.
Pulling strings:
The revolving door between EU institutions and the private sector shows the Brussels lobbying industry at its worst, writes EU ombudsman Emily O’Reilly. The problem is more noticeable as Brexit-related consultancy work is booming — the uncertainty around the negotiations provides lucrative opportunities for EU insiders with good networks. Brussels officials are particularly attractive for their detailed and technical knowledge.
Advice to disgruntled centrists:
The mood is dark among the UK Labour party’s moderate MPs, says James Kirkup. Exasperated by opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn’s apparent remaking of Labour in his leftist image, they whisper about the creation of a new centrist party. But they are not ready yet. A new party needs a new image, agenda and policies — especially economic ones — to sell to voters.

Restrictive ownership hobbles audit industry — letter from Paul Boyle
In 2005 I noted that the restrictive ownership rules that apply to audit firms (in essence they need to be majority-owned by qualified auditors) made it effectively impossible for there to be a well-capitalised new entrant into the market. Had there been similar ownership rules in the airline industry (ie if airlines had to be owned by qualified pilots) then many of the disruptive new entrants would not have been able to get off the ground — literally.

She may know “how that building works better than anybody” and “really knows her stuff” but she has not demonstrated that she has the character to make the morally tough decisions.
I can’t persuade Dropbox to take more of my money — letter from Christian Nielsen
You note that Dropbox’s revenue per subscriber has been flat for three years. That is unsurprising as I have for years been trying to give Dropbox more of my money without luck. It is quite simply not possible to purchase more storage once you hit the absurdly low limit of one terabyte. To start taking free money from existing customers might help the declining valuation.

EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — Authorities say a 13-year-old boy is accused of fatally shooting a 14-year-old boy after the victim challenged his gang affiliation.
Local media reports that court documents accuse the suspect of telling the victim he didn’t like his blue shoes while they were at school on Wednesday, and then flashing a gun and walking away.
Court documents state that later in the day, the victim and a friend were walking along a path behind an apartment building when they ran into the suspect.
The 13-year-old is then accused of shooting the 14-year-old after he challenged his gang affiliation.
The victim, identified as David Sandoval-Hilarios, later died at a hospital.
Authorities say the suspect told them he got the gun from a 12-year-old friend.
The boy was arrested for investigation of second-degree murder.

Question: Documents show Obama praised VA nominee Jackson, supported promotion 'immediately'

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

Documents provided to Fox News show Dr. Ronny Jackson received glowing praise for his work as White House physician by then-President Barack Obama, amid new allegations that President Trump’s pick to run the Department of Veterans Affairs exhibited poor behavior in the workplace.
“Ronny’s positive impact cannot be overstated. He is a tremendous asset to the entire White House team. Already at a level of performance and responsibility that far exceeds is current rank, promote to Rear Admiral now,” said an undated performance review that was signed by Obama.
The former president sent years of positive reports about Trump’s White House doctor, who is giving no indication he will withdraw his nomination for the V.A.
Obama said in October 2014: “A most impressive leader who continues to perform at the Flag Officer level. Ronny has earned my confidence and the gratitude of my family for his diligence and knowledge. Promote to Flag immediately.”
Obama said in October 2016: “Ronny does a great job — genuine enthusiasm, poised under pressure, incredible work ethic and follow through. Ronny continues to inspire confidence with the care he provides to me, my family and my team. Continue to promote ahead of peers.”
However, a 2012 watchdog report claimed Jackson exhibited “unprofessional behaviors” amid a power struggle over the White House medical unit.
The Senate Veterans Affairs Committee postponed its confirmation hearing for Jackson, scheduled for Wednesday. Jackson said he was “disappointed” over the news.
“Dr. Jackson’s record as a White House physician is impeccable. He has improved unit morale, received glowing reviews and promotions under Republican and Democrat presidents, and has been given a clean vet from the FBI. He has never even been the subject of an Inspector General review and he will certainly not be railroaded by a bitter ex-colleague who was removed from his job,” a senior White House official told Fox News.
A person who viewed the 2012 report confirmed to Fox News on Tuesday that the watchdog had recommended the Obama administration consider replacing either Jackson or his rival, Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman — or both. The report initially was reviewed by The Associated Press.
At the time of the report, Kuhlman was the physician to the president. Kuhlman left the White House in July 2013 and Jackson was named as his successor.
News of the report broke hours after Trump told reporters that if he were Jackson, “I wouldn’t” continue to seek the position, amid allegations that Jackson has overseen a hostile work environment as White House physician, including claims of drinking on the job and allowing the over prescription of drugs.
Trump says he hasn’t heard of allegations against his pick to head the Department of Veterans Affairs, slams Democrats for obstructing presidential appointees and said Jackson would make the decision on whether to continue with the confirmation process.
The six-page report included no references to improper prescribing or the use of alcohol. However, it did describe a lack of trust in the leadership and low morale among staff members. The document described the working environment as akin to “being caught between parents going through a bitter divorce.”
Veterans Affairs Committee Ranking Member Jon Tester, D-Mont., said to NPR that his panel was told Jackson was “repeatedly drunk” while on travel with Obama and that on overseas trips Jackson improperly handed out prescription drugs to help travelers sleep and wake up.
Fox News’ John Roberts, Serafin Gomez, Samuel Chamberlain and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Senate will delay the confirmation hearing for secretary of...
President Trump said Tuesday that Dr. Ronny Jackson, his embattled nominee to head up the Department of Veterans Affairs, shouldn’t have to endure the aggravation of going through a partisan confirmation hearing — adding that if it were him, he’d bail on the offer.
“I said, ‘You know what Doc? You’re too fine a person.’ I said, ‘What do you need it for?’”
The president praised Jackson and said he would leave the decision up to him about pursuing the nomination — but then said that he was reluctant to encourage Jackson, who had been accused of drinking on the job to continue seeking the gig.
“I don’t want to put a man through a process like this. It’s too disgusting,” Trump said.
“If I were him, actually, in many ways I would love to be him, but the fact is I wouldn’t do it. I wouldn’t do it. What does he need it for? To be abused by a bunch of politicians that aren’t thinking nicely about our country? I really don’t think personally he should do it, but it’s totally his decision,“ Trump said.
Earlier, the White House stood behind Jackson despite the allegations that he drank on the job and a Senate committee’s indefinite delay of a confirmation hearing that had been set for Wednesday.
Trump spokesman Hogan Gidley praised the nominee, Jackson, the president’s doctor who also served as White House physician to ex presidents Obama and George W. Bush.
Gidley said Jackson had a record of “strong decisive leadership” and was “exactly what’s needed at the VA” — a huge federal agency comprised of 360,000 employees who care for 9 million veterans.
Jackson, a Navy rear admiral and favorite of the president’s since giving reporters a glowing assessment of the commander-in-chief’s physical and mental health after his annual check-up, has no management experience.
Montana Sen. Jon Tester, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Veterans Affairs committee, wanted the hearing postponed due to multiple claims of a hostile work environment, excessive drinking on the job and improperly dispensing meds.
Multiple reports citing administration sources said Jackson was never vetted before the president announced his surprise nomination.
Veterans Groups questioned the pick, noting that Jackson had no experience with the VA.
“Donald Trump nominated Ronny Jackson without vetting him, and now a number of red flags may derail his nomination. Trump’s sloppy carelessness in picking someone to run veterans affairs shows the low regard he has for us veterans and our care,” tweeted the group VoteVets, which encourages veterans to run for political office and has been blocked by the president on Twitter.
Amanda Maddox, a spokeswoman for the upper chamber’s Veterans Affairs Committee, cited growing questions from lawmakers over Jackson’s qualifications as reason for the hearing’s delay.
Trump picked Jackson to head the VA last month after firing former Obama administration official David Shulkin following an ethics scandal and mounting rebellion within the agency.
But Jackson has faced numerous questions from Republican and Democratic lawmakers about whether he has the experience to manage the massive department.

Question: Despite deadly crash, no signs that all Arizona autonomous car tests are being frozen

Uber has suspended tests of its autonomous cars on public roads in Arizona in the wake of a deadly crash involving one of the vehicles in Tempe, but it’s not yet clear if other automakers will follow suit or be forced to do so by the state government.
The incident unfolded late Sunday when 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg was struck by a 2017 Volvo XC90 SUV equipped with Uber’s autonomous technology as she was walking her bicycle across a four-lane street midblock, outside of any crosswalk.
Police say the vehicle was traveling approximately 40 mph in autonomous mode when it hit Herzberg, and video from in the car showed no signs that it was slowing down, although the investigation into the matter is preliminary. Herzberg later was pronounced dead at a hospital.
An Uber employee, Raphael Vasquez, was behind the wheel observing the vehicle’s operation at the time of the incident, but police could not yet say if he took any action to avoid Herzberg. The car is equipped with a suite of sensors that work in conjunction with highly accurate maps to navigate streets and attempt to identify and avoid obstacles.
ARE YOU FOLLOWING FOX NEWS AUTOS ON FACEBOOK YET?
Arizona regulations on autonomous car testing that were put in place by executive order earlier this month require that the vehicles be monitored by a licensed driver who is either in the car, or doing so remotely. The vehicles can operate with an empty driver’s seat, as was recently depicted in a video released by Uber competitor Waymo. General Motors and Intel both have significant testing operations in the state as well.
A spokesman said the governor’s office was in communication with law enforcement, but did not say if it would call for any new or temporary restrictions on testing, and the Arizona DOT has neither put out a press release nor responded to emailed questions from Fox News on the topic.
Intel and General Motors, two of the other companies testing autonomous cars in the state, have not made any public announcements and would not comment on their immediate plans to Fox News, while Waymo has not yet responded to a similar request.

Before Rick McKahan could even get behind the wheel of one of Uber's self-driving cars as a "safety driver," he had to spend days driving around a small simulated city in Pennsylvania, handling corners and dodging obstacles.
Now he's tasked with training other safety drivers at Uber's test track in Pittsburgh.
At the ride-hailing company's autonomous vehicle training facility on the banks of the city's lush, green Monongahela River, aka "The Mon," Uber's self-driving cars learn to navigate the roads. And prospective safety drivers spend three weeks learning to operate the robo-cars -- Ford Fusions and Volvo XC90s -- so they can take over when needed.
"When we simulate real world experiences, we make that the worse-case scenario," said McKahan, a 28-year-old who was an oil and gas professional before he joined Uber last year to become a vehicle operator trainer. "When they get off the test track and get onto the public road, that actually seems easier than the first week of training."
Now Playing: Watch this: Uber video shows 'safety driver' training for self-driving...
As self-driving cars circle around grassy knolls and past parked cars at the closed-course facility, passenger doors suddenly fly open to test whether vehicles will safely steer out of the way. Jaywalking zombielike mannequins scoot out in front of moving automobiles to teach the cars to stop for pedestrians before it's too late.
Self-driving cars use a series of sensors, lasers and cameras to "see" their surroundings and detect traffic, pedestrians, bicyclists and other obstacles. Uber is one of dozens of companies working on bringing the futuristic tech to the roads. Automakers from Toyota to Ford to Volvo all have projects underway, as do Silicon Valley giants including Google, Apple and Tesla.
Uber started working on self-driving cars in 2015 and is the first company to roll out autonomous vehicles to the public. It brought a small fleet of self-driving cars to passengers in Pittsburgh in September 2016. The company has since driven more than 1 million autonomous miles and is testing about 200 cars in Pennsylvania, Arizona and California.
James Martin/CNET
Uber's autonomous vehicle project isn't free from controversy, though. The company is currently in a legal battle with Waymo, the self-driving car unit of Google parent company Alphabet. Waymo accused Uber of stealing its autonomous vehicle technology; Uber calls Waymo's claims "baseless." The trial is slated to begin in December.
The ride-hailing company is also reeling from a botched launch of its self-driving cars to passengers in San Francisco last December. After Uber failed to secure permission from the state's Department of Motor Vehicles to have its cars on the road, it was forced to halt the passenger program. Uber also had to deal with a handful of safety issues during that time, including one vehicle caught running a red light.
Since then, its self-driving cars have been involved in minor accidents in Pittsburgh and Tempe, Arizona. Even though injuries weren't reported and police determined Uber wasn't at fault for the crashes, it's up to the company to show the public its self-driving cars are safe.
Backseat driver
Companies working on self-driving car tech say these vehicles will one day be safer than driver-controlled autos and that they can also help ease traffic congestion and eliminate drunk driving. But until that future arrives, a safety driver needs to be in each car.
Anyone with a clean driving record can sign up to be one of Uber's hundreds of vehicle operators, but applicants must first go through a series of driving tests in a regular car. If they pass those and get through the interview process, they'll next enter Uber's three-week training period.
Week one of training includes classroom instruction, exams and supervised driving at the test track. In weeks two and three, trainees go out onto public roads but only on preselected routes with an experienced operator, aka a backseat driver. Uber declined to say how much its safety drivers earn.
"We have a very strict process for bringing drivers onto our program," McKahan said. "Part of that process is with a professional driving company where they learn how to operate a vehicle in situations that might be less than ideal."
Uber
This training program constantly shifts to deal with the technology as it evolves and conditions change. For example, snow on the ground could change how a vehicle acts and reacts, so drivers need to be ready for that. There are also the normal ins and outs of driving in a city.
"We're in a really jam-packed city here in Pittsburgh," McKahan said. "Every day we're dealing with pedestrians, bicyclists, different traffic lights, construction zones -- just anything that is a challenge for a vehicle or a driver."
When safety drivers are at the wheel of a self-driving car (without actually holding onto the steering wheel), they're not sitting back and relaxing, McKahan said. They have to be actively monitoring what the vehicle is doing and documenting the behavior of the car. It's still a learning process for both the car and the drivers.
I ask McKahan if he'd be OK being a passenger in a self-driving car without a safety driver.
"Maybe on the track, at this point," he said. "In a controlled environment."

At the time of the report, Kuhlman was the physician to the president. Kuhlman left the White House in July 2013 and Jackson was named as his successor.
News of the report broke hours after Trump told reporters that if he were Jackson, “I wouldn’t” continue to seek the position, amid allegations that Jackson has overseen a hostile work environment as White House physician, including claims of drinking on the job and allowing the over-prescription of drugs.
Trump says he hasn’t heard of allegations against his pick to head the Department of Veterans Affairs, slams Democrats for obstructing presidential appointees and said Jackson would make the decision on whether to continue with the confirmation process.
The six-page report included no references to improper prescribing or the use of alcohol. However, it did describe a lack of trust in the leadership and low morale among staff members. The document described the working environment as akin to “being caught between parents going through a bitter divorce.”
Veterans Affairs Committee Ranking Member Jon Tester, D-Mont., said to NPR that his panel was told Jackson was "repeatedly drunk" while on travel with Obama and that on overseas trips Jackson improperly handed out prescription drugs to help travelers sleep and wake up.

Question: Texas School Assigns Students to List Positive Aspects of Slavery

Last evening Great Hearts was made aware that one of our teachers at the Monte Vista North campus assigned homework that was very inappropriate and entirely inconsistent with Great Hearts philosophy and culture. In the 8th grade American History class students were asked to reflect on the differing sides of slavery. To be clear, there is no debate about slavery. It is immoral and a crime against humanity.
Our review of the situation found this incident to be limited to one teacher at just one campus. It was a clear mistake and we sincerely apologize for the insensitive nature of this offense. We want to thank the parents who voiced their concern and brought this to our attention. Please know Great Hearts is taking this seriously, including placing this teacher on leave while we have time to collect all the facts.
We are removing from classrooms and will conduct an audit of the American History textbook in use, "Prentice Hall Classics: A History of the United States". If we deem this textbook imprudent, we will permanently remove it and replace it with a history book that accurately reflects our values.
Finally, the headmaster and teachers at the Monte Vista North campus will spend time with the impacted students to explain the mistake and engage them in lessons that are more thoughtful about this period of American History.
We fully intend to make sure something like this does not happen again and will keep parents posted as we address this issue further. We have scheduled a follow up communication on May 9, 2018.

To give you a sense - "['Represent the article to find a fitting news title.', 'RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Dozens of North Carolina voters are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to ensure this year\'s legislative elections are held under district lines redrawn recently by federal judges, since previous elections this decade occurred under what have been deemed unconstitutional maps.\nTheir legal brief filed Friday asked the court to refuse a request by Republican legislative leaders. The GOP officials had asked the high court to block enforcement of a ruling last month by three judges approving a court-appointed expert\'s changes to House and Senate lines.\nIf the GOP request is denied, then the amended maps would be used beginning with candidate filing for the General Assembly on Feb. 12. If the request is approved, then districts likely would be used this fall that are again tainted by racial bias, as happened during the 2012, 2014 and 2016 elections, lawyers for the voters wrote.\n"The citizens of North Carolina have been forced to endure an egregious racial gerrymander for over six years and three election cycles," Jessica Ring Amunson wrote in the brief to Chief Justice John Roberts, who receives appeals from North Carolina. "If the court grants the stay, the voters of North Carolina will have to endure another election under unconstitutional legislative maps, and (the Republicans) will be rewarded for their tactics of delay at nearly every stage of this case."\nThere\'s no timetable when Roberts or the entire court will decide.\nThe voters originally sued in 2015, and the following year the three judges ruled that House and Senate redistricting performed by the Republican-dominated legislature in 2011 contained 28 districts that relied too heavily on race. They said the maps must be thrown out and redrawn. The Supreme Court upheld that decision last June.\nThe General Assembly said it didn\'t use racial data in August when new lines were drawn, but the same judges decided four new districts were too similar to the 2011 districts, reflecting continued racial bias. Another five House districts also shouldn\'t have been altered, the judges said, because that violated the state constitution\'s provision against mid-decade redistricting.\nThe judges asked a special master to redraw the maps to address their concerns. Stanford University law professor Nathaniel Persily ultimately altered two dozen districts compared to the 170 districts the legislature approved last August.\nThe legislative leaders told Roberts last week in their brief that the Supreme Court should reverse the panel\'s ruling that found racial gerrymandering in last summer\'s maps even though no racial data was used in drawing them.\nRepublicans last summer hired the same outside mapmaker who drew the faulty 2011 districts. So by Republican arguments, Amunson wrote, the exact same 2011 maps could have been approved again as long as the mapmaker turned "off the racial-data feature in his redistricting software this time around."\nAlthough candidate filing begins in 10 days, the legislature could extend the filing period if it chooses, and the legislative primary elections aren\'t scheduled until May 8, meaning there would be little disruption to the election schedule, she said.\n"There are no unusual circumstances that would warrant holding yet another election under unconstitutional maps," Amunson wrote.\nThe U.S. Supreme Court acted in another North Carolina redistricting matter last month. The justices delayed enforcement of a lower-court decision that struck down the state\'s congressional map for excessive partisanship and would have required new districts be drawn by last week.']" should be close to "['Represent this title to get a news article that provides more details about it', 'Voters ask US Supreme Court not to delay legislative maps']"

Question: Meet the Blogger Priest Firing Red Pills At the Vatican

Fr. Z’s critics say he’s an “alt-right” priest. He says they’re snowflakes who should toughen up. His surprising rise to prominence shows that in 2018, even the longest-lasting institution in the Western world isn’t immune to the strains of the social internet.
Last January, a Catholic asked a priest for spiritual guidance. Upset by the progressive direction Pope Francis has taken the church since his election in 2013, the person wondered whether it was a sin to pray for the pontiff to abdicate, or even, to die. “No,” the priest, Father John Zuhlsdorf, replied. “It is not necessarily sinful to pray for the end of a pontificate, one way or another ... Popes come and go. In our prayers, we can, without sinning, discuss with God about His time table.” It’s no secret that the Jesuit pope has angered conservative Catholics with his criticism of the church’s fixation on abortion, same-sex marriage, and birth control; and with his promotion of progressive pastors. But still, it was a shocking answer — an ordained Catholic priest sanctioning prayer for the untimely death of Christ’s earthly representative.
What was even more shocking: This conversation didn’t happen in a confession booth or a rectory. Fr. Z, as he’s known, posted the exchange on his blog to a devoted readership of many thousands. He had pulled the question from his email. He chose to answer it publicly. And though he would later apologize for angering readers, a year later, he hasn’t changed his answer. “Frankly,” Fr. Z told BuzzFeed News, “It’s not a sin.” The 58-year-old, Madison, Wisconsin–based Fr. Z is a leader in the thriving online community of conservative American Catholics who have used the Trump era to ratchet up their criticism of what they perceive to be a liberal Church establishment, and liberal culture in general. Fr. Z, who has over 40,000 Twitter followers, considers the 12-year-old blog, What Does the Prayer Really Say, his ministry. The site, which Fr. Z told BuzzFeed News is the largest English language Catholic blog run by an individual, has received more than 85 million visits since 2006, per Statcounter. According to Father Z, What Does the Prayer Really Say gets more than a million unique visitors a year. And it draws just as much from the gospel of Roger Ailes as it does Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John — a pro-Trump, anti-Francis hybrid of personal blog, Latin translation, Christian scholarship, scriptural interpretation, and Fox News. (A sidebar on the blog describes it as “a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say.”) Together with sites like Church Militant, a kind of Catholic-themed Breitbart that the Church has officially distanced itself from, Fr. Z is waging an online culture war that is deeply informed by the greater American political context. “They think the liberal Catholic establishment must be dismantled,” said Massimo Faggioli, a professor of theology at Villanova University. “And anything that can get to that goal is fine.”

Indeed, the sometimes shockingly antagonistic attitude of Fr. Z and his ilk toward the Vatican and liberal culture has invited comparisons to the alt-right, another group obsessed with waging a culture war against a supposedly liberal bureaucracy. Fr. Z, for his part, says he’s part of a “brutal” polemical tradition in the Catholic church that dates back millenia. More broadly, the popularity of Fr. Z’s blog and the power of his online following suggests that in 2018, even the longest-lasting institution in the Western world isn’t immune to the strains of the social internet. “Thanks in no small part to the online world, the degree of open criticism of the Pope and church hierarchy is far greater than ever before,” said Mark Silk, the director of the Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life. “It would have astonished people 50 years ago.” The comparisons with the alt-right are loose. There’s no direct connection between Fr. Z and that movement, which he told BuzzFeed News he had to Google when it was first applied to him. The alt-right, which draws on the reflexive atheism of message board culture and dabbles in the forms of neo-paganism associated with white nationalism, has no coherent stance on religion. Much of the alt-right is ambivalent, if not supportive, of homosexuality, which Fr. Z has called “unnatural” and “disordered.” Fr. Z has explicitly condemned anti-Semitism, which has dogged various factions of the alt-right (as well as the schismatic Catholic right.) And the comments under his blog posts are far from a Breitbartian vortex of invective; there are often long and thoughtful — albeit extremely conservative — discussions of faith, ritual, history, and bourbon. But Fr. Z’s tone, politics, and tactics bring to mind the online mobs of Trump supporters who helped turn the current moment so divisive. Rhetorically, he’s a creature as much of the comment section as the canon, having honed his blogging style since the early 1990s, when he moderated CompuServe’s Catholic forum. He regularly rails against “libs,” “edgy social justice figures” and the “homosexualist agenda.” He has coined Trumpian epithets for his adversaries, referring to the progressive National Catholic Reporter as “fishwrap” and the “National Sodomitical Reporter” and liberal Catholics as the “Red Guard.” He casts himself as a defender of Western civilization and culture; In a recent post, he encouraged followers to buy Defeating Jihad, by the far-right former Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka. And his blog links to a webstore where he sells mugs and T-shirts reading “Holy Mass: Turn Towards the Lord Again” in the ubiquitous #MAGA font and color scheme.
Also, his critics say, he has rallied his followers to carry out harassment and no-platforming campaigns that directly recall the alt-right. In September 2017, in a post entitled “Should a seminary headline a homosexualist activist as a speaker?” Fr. Z alerted his audience to an upcoming speech by the progressive Jesuit priest Rev. James Martin at Catholic University, shortly after the publication of a new book by Martin urging dialogue between the Church and LGBT Catholics. Following Fr. Z’s post, and denunciations by other popular conservative Catholic and schismatic websites, Martin became the target of an online harassment campaign, including threats of violence. And two days after Fr. Z’s post, Catholic withdrew its invitation to Martin, citing “increasing negative feedback from various social media sites.” “For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is,” Martin told BuzzFeed News. “It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.” Fr. Z told BuzzFeed News that it was not his intention to sic the Zedheads — as he affectionately calls his readers — on Martin, and added that though he did not think it was appropriate for Martin to speak, he, too, had been disinvited from similar engagements for his views. “I don’t whine about it though,” said Fr. Z. “This isn’t bean bag.” Indeed, Fr. Z’s response to liberal priests who object to his rhetoric is, more or less, Snowflake! In 2014, he told the Jesuit magazine America, “No one forces anyone else to get involved online. If we are going to descend onto the sands of the arena, we had better buckle it on … the notion that everyone has to play verbal patty cake all the time is a rather new idea, both in the church and in the public square.” And Fr. Z buckles it on in the public square with astonishing frequency. In December 2017, Fr. Z posted 141 times, an average of 4.5 posts a day. His detractors are quick to point out the irregularity of his priestly circumstances. Though Fr. Z lives in and blogs from Madison, he was incardinated — basically, given the right to perform the duties of a priest — in an Italian diocese. That, according to several church sources, is highly unusual. Though Fr. Z has faculties in the Madison diocese, his blog comprises the vast majority of his ministry. All of this has given Fr. Z the image of a rogue blogger-priest, accountable to an obscure authority, firing red pills from his digital pulpit at a hidebound institution that is unprepared to deal with the new age of online dissent. “Our assumption used to be that [the internet] was a new community, a new way of becoming connected,” said Faggioli, who added that the Church has no regulations to deal with internet priests. “We now know that it has fostered new kinds of divisions. These Catholic blogs play a very important role in this. They tend to speak to a particular kind of audience, against a particular kind of church.” And thanks to the reach of the internet and social media, the message of what Mark Silk called “religious entrepreneurs,” like Fr. Z, can find and consolidate a politically and culturally homogenous audience in a way a parish priest never could.
It’s a point not lost on Fr. Z, who sees himself in a tradition of Christian leaders evangelizing through technology. (A tradition that includes Martin Luther, who could not have spread the seeds of Protestantism without the printing press, but also Father Coughlin, who used the radio in the 1930s to spread his fascist political beliefs to tens of millions of listeners from the tower of the National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica in Detroit.) “The church has always made use of the best means of communication,” Fr. Z told BuzzFeed News. “I’m one little guy, but this blog is my force amplifier.” That force multiplier has allowed Fr. Z to turn What Does the Prayer Really Say into an enterprise. For the spiritual and cultural succor on offer, many of the blog’s readers donate money — on both one-off and monthly subscription bases — and Fr. Z invites them to lavish him with gifts. In exchange for a monthly subscription, Fr. Z wrote in 2015, “you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray.” And the second widget from the top on the blog’s sidebar, below only a search box, is a plea for readers to do their Amazon shopping through his affiliate link. The practice has drawn critics, who say that soliciting money directly from his readers inappropriately insulates Fr. Z from Church pressure. But in the context of internet publishing, even on Fr. Z’s low-tech blog, it’s on trend. From YouTube stars to writers crowdfunding projects, content creators across a range of internet media are finding that a devoted audience can support a subscription model. And who is more devoted than a group of parishioners? “I’m a free market guy,” Fr. Z told BuzzFeed News. “If I put something out there and people want to drop money in my hat, so be it.” He added that he’s not paid a salary by the church: “I kill what I eat.” The subscriber model produces a fascinating question in the clerical context: If Fr. Z relies on the generosity of his audience, rather than the support of the Church, how much does he have to tell them what they want to hear?
Perhaps that explains his shifting perspective on Donald Trump. Though Fr. Z told BuzzFeed news that he’s not interested in politics, he blogs about national affairs regularly. In January 2016, during Republican primary debate season, Fr. Z approvingly reposted a blog by the conservative priest and cultural commentator Robert Sirico that compared Trump to a laxative and concluded that “I cannot figure out the alleged white-evangelical attraction to Trump.” As the general election got underway, Fr. Z found more and more to like about the GOP candidate, specifically that he recorded a video message for Catholics and was not Hillary Clinton, who he called “treasonous” and “the criminal candidate for the Part of Death.” Since the election, Fr. Z has gathered signatures to thank President Trump for defunding “Big Business Abortion” — Planned Parenthood — contrasted Trump flatteringly with President Obama, whom he called “arrogance incarnate,” and most recently, posted President Trump’s remarks at January’s March for Life. More surprisingly, Fr. Z seemed to endorse President Trump’s travel ban, a decision the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops called “un-Catholic” and protested with an amicus brief filed in the Supreme Court. It was a position that seemed to hew closer to Steve Bannon, the President’s former chief adviser, who has claimed that the Church favors illegal immigration because it has an economic interest, than to Church leadership. Indeed, in 2016, Pope Francis said that Trump’s position on immigration made him “not Christian.” And so Fr. Z found himself, a Catholic priest, warning his audience about the perils of letting immigrants into America, three days after he wrote that it wasn’t a sin to pray for the Pope to die. Said Faggioli, “Fr. Z is much more convinced about the Christian character of Donald Trump than of Pope Francis. That’s remarkable.” ●

Question: Many Puerto Ricans adrift in US hotels after Hurricane Maria

NEW YORK (AP) — After they lost their home in Puerto Rico to flooding during Hurricane Maria, Enghie Melendez fled with her family to the U.S. mainland with three suitcases and the hope it wouldn't take long to rebuild their lives. It hasn't worked out that way.
More than four months later, the family of five is squeezed into two rooms in a hotel in Brooklyn. While her husband looks for work, they are stuck in limbo, eating off paper plates and stepping over clothes in cramped quarters as they try to get settled in an unfamiliar city.
"After the hurricane hit we told the kids that every day was going to be an adventure, but not like this," said the 43-year-old Melendez. "This is turning out to be really hard."
Around the U.S., many Puerto Ricans are similarly adrift in hotels because of the Sept. 20 hurricane. The move north spared them from the misery of the storm's aftermath on the island. But the transition has often proved to be difficult, disruptive and expensive as people try to find housing, jobs, schools and even furniture and clothes to start fresh on the mainland.
Melendez and her family shuffled between staying with relatives to a homeless shelter to a small hotel in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, forcing her to change schools for her three daughters in the middle of the semester.
"The instability is terrible," she said as her husband, who worked as a cook at an Army base near San Juan, used a glass bottle to mash plantains to make a traditional Puerto Rican dish.
Adding to the worries for large numbers of Puerto Ricans is that hotel reimbursements from the Federal Emergency Management Agency have started to run out and many say they can't afford temporary housing without assistance.
"It's stressful," said Yalitza Rodriguez, a 35-year-old from the southern Puerto Rico town of Yauco who has been staying at a hotel in Queens with her elderly mother and husband while he looks for work. "If we don't get an extension we will have nowhere to live."
Maria destroyed between 70,000 and 75,000 homes and damaged an additional 300,000, said Leticia Jover, a spokeswoman for Puerto Rico's Housing Department. The effects of the storm included the widespread loss of power, which is still not restored in some places. Many businesses closed. The result has been an exodus to the mainland.
The Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College estimated in an October study that between 114,000 and 213,000 Puerto Ricans would move to the U.S. mainland over the next 12 months. Most were expected to settle in Florida, followed by Pennsylvania, Texas and New York.
FEMA says there are nearly 4,000 families, more than 10,000 people, receiving hotel assistance from the agency in 42 states because their homes in Puerto Rico are too damaged to occupy. The agency extended the expiration for the program from Jan. 13 to March 20 at the request of the island's governor, but all cases are reviewed for eligibility every 30 days and the payments could end for some people sooner. It's impossible to know how many are in temporary housing without any aid or staying with families.
Leslie Rivera, from the central town of Caguas, has been shuffling among hotels in Tampa, Florida, since December with her three kids, ages 13, 10 and 2. She was approved for subsidized housing and expects to be settled soon but it has been difficult.
"I feel like I am on the streets because I have no clothes. I have nothing for my kids," the 35-year-old said with tears in her eyes.
Marytza Sanz, president of Latino Leadership Orlando, which has been helping displaced families, said many don't know where they will go after FEMA stops paying for their rooms.
"There are people with five dollars in their pockets," she said. "They can't buy detergent, deodorant, medicine."
In Kissimmee, in central Florida, Desiree Torres feels nervous. She has spent more than two months in a hotel with her three children. She says she can't find a job and several local shelters have told her there is no space for her and her children.
"I can't sleep at night," said the 30-year-old Torres, who lost her home in Las Piedras, a southeastern town near where the eye of the storm first crossed the island. "I'm worried about my kids."
After the hurricane, Melendez and her family were forced to sleep for more than three weeks in their garage because of flooding and sewage that entered the home. They left their four dogs with a friend and managed to get on a humanitarian flight. They spent 10 days at Melendez's father-in-law's Manhattan apartment and a month and a half in a Brooklyn shelter. A Puerto Rican activist helped them enter the hotel.
"My kids were in a Manhattan school. We would wake up before 5 a.m. at the shelter to take them there. Now they are in a Brooklyn school," she said. "Where will they be tomorrow?"
For now, they survive on a $1,700 monthly disability payment that Melendez receives along with about $300 a month in food stamps.
Her 16-year-old daughter, Enghiemar, does her homework on the floor of the hotel room and tries to keep in touch with friends back home by text.
"I always wanted to come and live here," she said. "But not like this."
