Pope Francis, in a historic move that could lead to more inclusiveness in decision-making in the Roman Catholic Church, will allow women to vote for the first time at a global meeting of bishops in October. In the past, women were allowed to attend the synods, a papal advisory body, as auditors but with no right to vote. The revolutionary rules, announced on Wednesday, allow for five religious sisters with voting rights. Additionally, the Pope has decided the inclusion of what a Vatican document called '70 nonbishop members who represent various groupings of the faithful of the people of God.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chris Jones did not report to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday to begin preparing for their season opener against Detroit, making it highly unlikely that the All-Pro defensive tackle will play against the Lions on Thursday night. Jones has been holding out while trying to get a long-term contract. He is entering the final year of a four-year, $80 million pact, and has been racking up millions in fines for missing offseason workouts, training camp and all three preseason games.

Bagong Pamantayang Tagalog is a Facebook page I highly recommend. It is not an esoteric page for lexicographers; its posts are relevant to anyone interested in Philippine history and languages. One post carried a screenshot from 'Vocabulario de la lengua tagala' by fray Domingo de los Santos (1794) that translates the Spanish 'natura' into the vulgar Tagalog 'otin' and 'poqui.' Other dictionaries of the period did not translate from Tagalog to Spanish. Out of modesty, these vulgar words were rendered in Latin, perhaps to make the anatomical sound scientific or simply to keep it one language level more difficult for the reader to understand.

TAIPEI — Physician Lin Yuh-ting has taken time out of her weekend to learn civilian defense tips she can relay to her two young children in case China invades self-ruled Taiwan. There are no weapons, just vital training on how to react to China's hybrid warfare. The classes are part of a growing Taiwanese urgency to be ready for a worst-case scenario after seeing the Ukraine war from afar and enduring two rounds of Chinese drills in the past year, including exercises that ended last week. 'When there's the possibility of a war, I think we should get prepared,' said 45-year-old Lin, who was attending Kuma Academy's classes in Taipei.

More than 1,000 people were killed, many of them children, as a result of Syria's use of the lethal nerve agent sarin. "It has been a decade since the atrocious attack in Ghouta, an attack that was neither the first nor the last chemical weapons assault by the Assad regime against its people.
