Pope Francis has said he’s open to the possibility of ordaining married men to minister in remote communities facing priest shortages.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In a move that could transform the Catholic Church, Pope Francis has said he's open to the possibility of ordaining married men to minister in remote communities facing priest shortages.

In an interview with Germany's Die Zeit newspaper published this week, the pope said the church should study whether so-called "viri probati" - or married men of proven faith - could be ordained as an answer to the shortage of priests around the world. He called it an "enormous problem" that must be resolved.

"We must consider if viri probati is a possibility. Then we must determine what tasks they can perform, for example, in remote communities," he was quoted as saying.

Francis, however, stressed that removing the celibacy rule mandated to priests is not an answer to the priest shortage.

The Latin rite already allows some married non-Catholic clergymen who become Catholics to be ordained.

In a decree signed by Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, the prefect of the Congregation for Oriental Church, on June 14, 2014, priests in the eastern rite Catholic Church were allowed to be married, joining married Anglican priests who convert to Catholicism, The National Catholic Register reported.

Clerical marriage, meaning priests who marry once ordained, is not allowed by the church. It is unclear if Francis would issue a decree to allow "viri probati" throughout the church.
A POLITICAL POPE IS ALSO GROWING THE RANKS OF THE FAITHFUL
The "viri probati" proposal has been around for decades, but it has drawn fresh attention under history's first Latin American pope thanks in part to his appreciation of the challenges facing the church in places like Brazil, a huge Catholic country with an acute shortage of priests.

Brazilian Cardinal Claudio Hummes, a longtime friend of Francis and former head of the Vatican's office for clergy, is reportedly pressing to allow viri probati in the Amazon, where the church counts around one priest for every 10,000 Catholics.
CUTE PUP ADOPTED BY MONASTERY MELTS HEARTS AROUND THE WORLD
Francis has shown particular openness to receiving concrete proposals for ordaining married men, reportedly saying in private in 2014 that it could be left for bishops to decide depending on the situation, The Register reported.

Francis also has shown his own pastoral concern for men who have left ministry to marry.

He has maintained friendship with the Argentine widow of a friend who left the priesthood to marry, and he spent one of his Friday mercy missions last year visiting with men who had left ministry to start families.

He also has said that while he favors a celibate priesthood, celibacy technically can be up for discussion since it's a discipline of the church, not a dogma.

Francis said the church should be "fearless" in confronting change.

"Truth means not to be afraid," he said. "Fears close doors, freedom opens them. And if freedom is small, it at least opens a little window."

In the first major interview that Francis has given a German newspaper, the pope was asked whether he experienced moments in which he doubted the existence of God. He responded: "I, too, know moments of emptiness."

But, he pointed out that periods of crisis are an opportunity to grow, saying a believer who doesn't experience that remains "infantile."

Francis also repeated his warning of the dangers of rising populism in western democracies, saying "populism is evil and ends badly as the past century showed."

In the interview, Francis also confirmed Colombia was on his travel itinerary for 2017 as well as India and Bangladesh. He ruled out Congo, which had been rumored, but mentioned Egypt as a possibility. Francis also recently said he hoped to visit South Sudan.

President Trump's first full month was a big onefor jobs.

The U.S. economy added a robust 235,000 jobs in February, the Labor Department said Friday.

The unemployment rate ticked down to 4.7% from 4.8% in the previous month. It's a vast improvement from 2009, when unemployment peaked at 10% after the financial crisis.

"The U.S. economy is doing very very well at the moment," says Jeremy Cook, chief economist at World First, a foreign exchange firm.

Economists say it will be a challenge for Trump to fulfill his promise to create 25 million jobs over the next 10 years. The unemployment rate is already very low, and many Baby Boomers have either retired or left the job market.

At least in his first full month, though, Trump is on pace to fulfill that promise.

Last year, the economy averaged about 190,000 new jobs per month. The economy is showing other signs of strength: Consumer and business confidence is high, and stocks are at record levels.

Wage growth continued to show signs of progress after persisting at a sluggish pace for years. Wages grew a solid 2.8% in February compared with a year ago.

In February, manufacturing added 28,000 jobs. Trump has promised to increase manufacturing jobs by getting better trade deals for the United States. Construction companies hired another 58,000 workers last month. Experts say that increase is mainly due to warm winter weather in the Northeast and Midwest.

Related: The secretive process behind the jobs report

Jesse Singh says better weather in February helped his firm, AZEK Building Products, keep pace with rising demand ahead of the summer building season.

"The warm weather is allowing construction firms to accelerate projects to be able to continue to meet their strong demand," says Singh, whose company is based in Skokie, Ill.

However, other sectors did not perform as well. The retail sector lost 26,000 jobs in February as major retailers like JCPenney announced store closings. Government and transportation jobs saw meager gains.

Solid job gains almost certainly clear the way for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates next week. Fed leaders like Chair Janet Yellen said a rate hike in March would be appropriate if the economy stayed on track. It did just that.

"The Fed is going to hike next week. That's for sure," says Paul Mortimer-Lee, chief economist at BNP Paribas.

Kansas jayhawks lost to tcu last night

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The top-ranked Kansas Jayhawks' run in the Big 12 Tournament lasted exactly one game, as they just got bounced by TCU in the quarterfinals. Freshman superstar Josh Jackson was suspended for the game because of a traffic citation and his involvement probably had a large say in the outcome, since Kansas lost by just three points.

The game was topsy-turvy throughout, as Kansas spent most of the first half ahead, before TCU enjoyed a long stretch of second-half dominance. Frank Mason III finished with a game-high 29, but Kansas's bench managed just three whole points. Mason nailed a tough four-point play to get Kansas out of a 10-point hole midway through the second half, and with two minutes left, hit a tough runner in the lane to put Kansas up four.

TCU had the ball with seven seconds left in a tie game, and Kansas big man Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk got too aggressive on a close out, gifting Desmond Bane three free throws. He hit all three, winning it for TCU.

The Jayhawks can't be happy about crashing out of the Big 12 tournament after just one game, but they'll still be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, especially since Jackson sat out of this loss and he'll be back for the Big Dance.

Let's check in on Jamie Dixon.

Germany ax attack: Seven people injured at train station

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Police described the suspect, who lives in nearby Wuppertal, as "a 36-year-old man from the former Yugoslavia."

He "obviously has mental problems," Dusseldorf police said in a statement.

Of the seven people wounded in the Thursday night attack, three suffered severe injuries. Two women were among the injured.

Police believe the suspect acted alone.

Bruno Macedo, a passenger on a train that was due to stop in Dusseldorf, said his train was diverted to Cologne.

Another passenger, Martin Sebastian Abel, said his train was stopped before it got to the main station and they were told there was an emergency. Police officers rushed to the scene, but they were not told what was going on, he said.

The station remained closed Friday.

In July, a Pakistani teen traveling on a train near Wuerzburg injured five people with an ax before German police shot him dead. In a video found on YouTube after the attack, the teen described himself as a soldier of the caliphate and a martyr.

Police said he was driven by ISIS propaganda.

Pro Football Talk and NBC Sports reported Charles’ visit to the Seahawks will be next week, well after the first wave of free-agent signings. That fits Seattle’s recent M.O.

Charles, 29, is three years younger than Peterson, the Minnesota Vikings’ former NFL most valuable player rumored this week to be a potentially imminent addition to the Seahawks’ backfield.

Now this is more substantiated rumor than Adrian Peterson.

Ian Rapoport of the league-owned NFL Network, citing sources, reported Thursday morning before the start of free agency the Seahawks and veteran running back Jamaal Charles have "mutual interest" -- and that the former 1,500-yard rusher for the Kansas City Chiefs is going to visit Seattle.

Charles, 29, is three years younger than Peterson, the Minnesota Vikings' former NFL most valuable player rumored this week to be a potentially imminent addition to the Seahawks' backfield.

But Charles has played in just eight games total over the last two seasons. He's had pain in both knees over the last year. He tore his anterior cruciate ligament in October 2015, then had another surgery on the same, right knee in November.

That's what may make him affordable to Seattle, which had $25 million in cap space entering free agency opening Thursday at 1 p.m.

At his healthiest, Charles is far more versatile and fitting to the Seahawks than Peterson. Charles caught 110 passes with 12 touchdown receptions over the 2013 and '14 seasons for the Chiefs in their renowned screen game. He could do more and likely cost less than Peterson. How much less -- perhaps into the $2-3 million per year range -- would likely determine if Seattle and Charles could become a match.

Unsubstantiated rumors, as prevalent this time of year as shamrocks, had the Seahawks in the running with Oakland as most likely places for Peterson. But that makes zero sense for Seattle. The 32-year old is a 2014 season-long league suspension and injuries removed from being a 2,000-yard rusher and 2012 NFL most valuable player for Minnesota.

Many such rumors come from agents, family members or friends who are trying to portray multiple teams are interested in their players, for leverage in free agency. That appears to be the case in the Peterson-to-Seattle talk.

The Seahawks are waiting for C.J. Prosise, their tantalizing rookie from 2016, and Thomas Rawls to stay healthy long enough to have a full season as their young (combined NFL experience: three seasons) and inexpensive rushers. That leaves money for them to buy the more-needed offensive linemen, defensive backs and defensive tackles.

"Guys have made statements about who they are and then they have to come back and reestablish that and take it as far as they can," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said last week at the combine. "There is nothing in the way of C.J.

"Thomas Rawls is a terrific player on our team, too, who had a very difficult season. He was banged up all year. So those two guys come back to camp really raring to go, and we are looking forward to that."

But if they become convinced Charles is healthy enough that they could give him a low-cost opportunity while still being able to buy some linemen and defenders, that may be an equally attractive possibility.

The Seahawks' pattern since Carroll and generla manager John Schneider arrived in 2010 to run the team is to wait out the first wave of big-bucks signings on the opening day of free agency, let the market set itself at targeted positions, then go after more cost-effective signings in the subsequent days or weeks of free agency.

So if form holds the league's biggest first-day free-agent splashes won't be from coming out of Seattle.

SEOUL, South Korea - A South Korean court removed the president on Friday, a first in the nation's history, rattling the delicate balance of relationships across Asia at a particularly tense time.

Her removal capped months of turmoil, as hundreds of thousands of South Koreans took to the streets, week after week, to protest a sprawling corruption scandal that shook the top echelons of business and government.

Park Geun-hye, the nation's first female president and the daughter of the Cold War military dictator Park Chung-hee, had been an icon of the conservative establishment that joined Washington in pressing for a hard line against North Korea's nuclear provocations.

Now, her downfall is expected to shift South Korean politics to the opposition, whose leaders want more engagement with North Korea and are wary of a major confrontation in the region. They say they will re-examine the country's joint strategy on North Korea with the United States and defuse tensions with China, which has sounded alarms about the growing American military footprint in Asia.

Ms. Park's powers were suspended in December after a legislative impeachment vote, though she continued to live in the presidential Blue House, largely alone and hidden from public view, while awaiting the decision by the Constitutional Court. The house had been her childhood home: She first moved in at the age of 9 and left it nearly two decades later after her mother and father were assassinated in separate episodes.

Eight justices of the Constitutional Court unanimously decided to unseat Ms. Park for committing "acts that violated the Constitution and laws" throughout her time in office, Acting Chief Justice Lee Jung-mi said in a ruling that was nationally broadcast.

Ms. Park's acts "betrayed the trust of the people and were of the kind that cannot be tolerated for the sake of protecting the Constitution," Justice Lee said.

As the verdict was announced, silence fell over thousands of Park supporters who rallied near the courthouse waving South Korean flags. Soon, they tried to march on the court and called for "destroying" it. When the police blocked them, some of the mostly elderly protesters attacked the officers with flagpoles, hurling water bottles and pieces of the sidewalk pavement. Two pro-Park demonstrators, ages 60 and 72, died during the unrest.

Ms. Park did not comment on the ruling, and remained in the presidential palace after her removal from power. But In Myung-jin, the leader of Ms. Park's conservative Liberty Korea Party, said he "humbly respected" the ruling.

With the immunity conferred by her office now gone, Ms. Park, 65, faces prosecutors seeking to charge her with bribery, extortion and abuse of power in connection with allegations of conspiring with a confidante, her childhood friend Choi Soon-sil, to collect tens of millions of dollars in bribes from companies like Samsung.

By law, the country must elect a new president within 60 days. The acting president, Hwang Kyo-ahn, an ally of Ms. Park's, will remain in office in the interim. The Trump administration is rushing a missile defense system to South Korea so that it can be in place before the election.

After the ruling, Mr. Hwang called key Cabinet ministers to put the nation on a heightened state of military readiness, saying the lack of a president represented a national "emergency." He also warned North Korea against making "additional provocations."

The last time a South Korean leader was removed from office under popular pressure was in 1960, when the police fired on crowds calling for President Syngman Rhee to step down. ( Mr. Rhee, a dictator, fled into exile in Hawaii and died there.)

In a sign of how far South Korea's young democracy has evolved, Ms. Park was removed without any violence, after large, peaceful protests in recent months demanding that she step down. In addition to the swell of popular anger, the legislature and the judiciary - two institutions that have been weaker than the presidency historically - were crucial to the outcome.

"This is a miracle, a new milestone in the strengthening and institutionalizing of democracy in South Korea," said Kang Won-taek, a political scientist at Seoul National University.

When crowds took to the streets, they were not just seeking to remove a leader who had one year left in office. They were also rebelling against a political order that had held South Korea together for decades but is now fracturing under pressures both at home and abroad, analysts said.

Ms. Park's father ruled South Korea from 1961 to 1979. He founded its economic growth model, which transformed the nation into an export powerhouse and allowed the emergence of family-controlled conglomerates known as chaebol that benefited from tax cuts and anti-labor policies.

Ms. Park was elected in 2012 with the support of older conservative South Koreans who revered her father for the country's breakneck economic growth.

But the nexus of industry and political power gave rise to collusive ties, highlighted by the scandal that led to Ms. Park's fall.

The scandal also swept up the de facto head of Samsung, Lee Jae-yong, who was indicted on charges of bribing Ms. Park and her confidante, Ms. Choi.

Samsung, the nation's largest conglomerate, has been tainted by corruption before. But the company has been considered too important to the economy for any of its top leaders to spend time behind bars - until now. The jailing of Mr. Lee, who is facing trial, is another potent sign that the old order is not holding.

In the wake of the Park scandal, all political parties have vowed to curtail presidential power to pardon chaebol tycoons convicted of white-collar crimes. They also promised to stop chaebol chairmen from helping their children amass fortunes through dubious means, like forcing their companies to do exclusive business with the children's businesses.

With the conservatives discredited - and no leading conservative candidate to succeed Ms. Park - the left could take power for the first time in a decade. The dominant campaign issues will probably be North Korea's nuclear weapons program and South Korea's relations with the United States and China.

If the opposition takes power, it may try to revive its old "sunshine policy" of building ties with North Korea through aid and exchanges, an approach favored by China. That would complicate Washington's efforts to isolate the North at a time other Asian nations like the Philippines are gravitating toward Beijing.

Moon Jae-in, the Democratic Party leader who is leading in opinion surveys, has said that a decade of applying sanctions on North Korea had failed to stop its nuclear weapons programs. He has said that sanctions are necessary, but that "their goal should be to draw North Korea back to the negotiating table."

He believes that Ms. Park's decision to allow the deployment of the American missile defense system - known as Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or Thaad - has dragged the country into the dangerous and growing rivalry between Washington and Beijing; China has called the system a threat to its security and taken steps to punish South Korea economically for accepting it.

Conservative South Koreans see the deployment of the antimissile system not only as a guard against the North but also as a symbolic reaffirmation of the all-important alliance with the United States. Mr. Moon's party demands that the deployment, which began this week, be suspended immediately. If it takes power, it says it will review the deployment of the antimissile system to determine if it is in South Korea's best interest.

As South Korea has learned, it cannot always keep Washington and Beijing happy at the same time, as in the case of the country's decision to accept the American missile defenses.

Yet Ms. Park's impeachment was also a pushback against "Cold War conservatives" like her father, who seized on Communist threats from North Korea to hide their corruption and silence political opponents, said Kim Dong-choon, a sociologist at Sungkonghoe University in Seoul.

Ms. Park's father tortured and executed dissidents, framing them with spying charges. Now, his daughter faces charges that her government blacklisted thousands of unfriendly artists and writers.

"Her removal means that the curtain is finally drawing on the authoritarian political and economic order that has dominated South Korea for decades," said Ahn Byong-jin, rector of the Global Academy for Future Civilizations at Kyung Hee University in Seoul.

Analysts cautioned that political and economic change will come slowly.

As Mr. Moon put it recently: "We need a national cleanup. We need to liquidate the old system and build a new South Korea. Only then can we complete the revolution started by the people who rallied with candlelight."
