Thousands of passengers faced hours of delays as air traffic ground to a halt, with Philadelphia International Airport also briefly suspending outbound flights.

Pope Francis’ LOST LOVE: The Girl Who Shaped His Destiny | Amalia & Jorge's Story Resurfaces

As the world mourns Pope Francis, a tender and forgotten chapter of his youth has resurfaced. Long before he became the spiritual leader of over a billion Catholics, young Jorge Bergoglio had a secret love — a girl named Amalia Damonte. At just 12, he proposed marriage with a handwritten note saying, “If I don’t marry you, I’ll become a priest.” Her rejection changed the course of history. This intimate story sheds light on the man behind the papacy, reminding us of the humanity within a holy life. #PopeFrancis #Vatican #LoveStory #PopeLove #JorgeBergoglio #CatholicChurch #FaithAndLove #AmaliaDamonte #PopeFrancisYouth #HistoricLoveStory #ReligionNews #CatholicNews #BuenosAires #FloresNeighborhood #Priesthood #HolyFather #PopeFrancisLegacy #InnocentLove #YoungPope #ChildhoodLove #LoveAndFaith #PapalHistory #FrancisStory #WorldMourns #PopeRomance #ArgentinaHistory #SpiritualJourney #CatholicLeader #VaticanNews #FaithChoice #TrueStory Also Read Pope Francis: A 'Pro'-LGBTQ Progressive Pontiff Who Inspired Many While Unsettling Traditionalists :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pope-francis-a-pro-lgbtq-progressive-pontiff-who-inspired-many-while-unsettling-traditionalists-4130129.html?ref=DMDesc Paris Mourns Pope Francis: Eiffel Tower To Go Dark In Memory Of Pontiff :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/paris-mourns-pope-francis-eiffel-tower-to-go-dark-in-memory-of-pontiff-4129893.html?ref=DMDesc Pope Francis Net Worth: Catholic Spiritual Leader's Simple Lifestyle, How Much He Used To Donate From Salary :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pope-francis-net-worth-catholic-spiritual-leaders-simple-lifestyle-how-much-he-used-to-donate-fro-4129709.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~

POPE FRANCIS’ LEGACY: LGBTQ Support, 2013 Foot-Washing, Clergy Apologies & Church Reform

Pope Francis will be remembered as one of the most transformative figures in modern Church history. From washing the feet of Muslim prisoners to declaring homosexuality "not a crime," he shattered centuries of convention. Francis stood with the marginalized, lived humbly, and redefined papal leadership. He demanded accountability for clergy abuse, apologized to Indigenous communities, and led global reforms. A voice of compassion in a rigid institution, Pope Francis broke walls—and built bridges. His legacy lives on in every act of inclusion, humility, and courage. #PopeFrancis #CatholicChurch #FaithAndChange #LGBTQ #VaticanReform #ChurchHistory #BreakingTradition #HolyThursday #ManOfTheYear #GlobalFaith #FrancisLegacy #SpiritualReform #Inclusion #ChildAbuseAccountability #JesuitPope #Vatican #ReligionNews #HumanDignity #PapalReform #Christianity #ReligiousLeadership #Forgiveness #ClergyAbuse #VaticanSummit #HistoricPope #PapalLegacy #SocialJustice #HumbleLeadership #ChurchAndChange #PopeOfThePeople #PopeFrancis2025 Also Read Paris Mourns Pope Francis: Eiffel Tower To Go Dark In Memory Of Pontiff :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/paris-mourns-pope-francis-eiffel-tower-to-go-dark-in-memory-of-pontiff-4129893.html?ref=DMDesc Pope Francis Net Worth: Catholic Spiritual Leader's Simple Lifestyle, How Much He Used To Donate From Salary :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pope-francis-net-worth-catholic-spiritual-leaders-simple-lifestyle-how-much-he-used-to-donate-fro-4129709.html?ref=DMDesc Pope Francis Remembered: 10 Lesser-Known Facts About The First Jesuit Pope :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pope-francis-remembered-10-lesser-known-facts-about-the-first-jesuit-pope-4129701.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~

U.S Leaks Breaking: U.S Punishes US Army's Korbein Schultz For Selling Sensitive Documents to China

A former U.S. Army analyst, 25-year-old Korbein Schultz, has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for leaking top-secret military information to a contact he believed was linked to the Chinese government. Schultz admitted to selling sensitive data from 2022 to 2024—including info on U.S. troop movements, missile systems, and lessons from Ukraine—for $42,000. The case raises serious national security concerns, with leaked documents also covering Taiwan and NATO strategy. Schultz even tried to recruit others.

Trump Set To Declassify MLK Files Next | FBI & CIA SECRETS On MLK, JFK, RFK Could Soon Go Public

President Trump’s Executive Order 14176 has declassified records tied to the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. But only JFK’s files have been released so far. As speculation grows around the still-sealed MLK documents, historians and King’s family fear an orchestrated smear campaign under the guise of transparency. The files, linked to COINTELPRO-era surveillance, may contain damaging, decontextualized material. Scholars warn the release could distort public memory and weaponize intelligence files from a time when the FBI sought to discredit civil rights leaders. #MLK #Trump #Declassification #COINTELPRO #CivilRights #MLKFiles #JFKFiles #RFKFiles #TransparencyOrSmear #HistoricalRecords #FBIHistory #CIAFiles #TrumpOrder #MartinLutherKingJr #BlackHistory #TruthAndTransparency #ExecutiveOrder #MLKLegacy #Activism #MLKSurveillance #JFKAssassination #RFKAssassination #PoliticalHistory #MLKFamily #FBIvsMLK #HistoricalSmear #Trump2025 #IntelligenceFiles #COINTELPROFiles #TruthUnderThreat #PublicRecords Also Read US President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin Condemned Pahalgam Terrorist Attack, Call It A Brutal Crime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-russias-vladimir-putin-condemned-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-call-it-a-br-4131695.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-drop-ukraine-russia-peace-efforts-if-no-progress-within-days-marco-rubio-4127371.html?ref=DMDesc
