How I got hooked on tinned fish as sustainable and delicious seafood
Not that I don't appreciate a silky slice of nigiri or hefty tuna sub. My childhood memories of albacore on a slab of crusty Italian bread (with a cream soda, please) remain the best. But I eventually concluded the collateral damage was too high. Rendering these fish — predators equivalent to wolves or tigers on land — into a can of commodity protein didn't sit well with me.

Religious group can close Jersey Shore beach access on Sundays, judge says
A century-old religious tradition on the Jersey Shore is once against at the center of a legal clash. A judge has ruled a nonprofit Christian group in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, can resume closing beach access on Sunday mornings, but the final decision is up to the state. Often called "God's Square Mile," Ocean Grove is known for its family-friendly beach and countless Victorian homes. It is privately owned by the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association. The Christian group long observed quiet Sunday mornings, which included closing its beaches for worship from 9 a.m. to noon. Many residents and visitors have defended the tradition. "Just to have a little peace and quiet so you can come to church and worship," Marilyn Cusick, of Neptune, said. "I don't think it's that much of a burden for even residents or visitors here because it's only three hours that they're closing the beach on Sundays. And also, if they really want to get on the beach, they can come through Bradley or Asbury Park." The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ended the long-standing tradition nearly two years ago when it ordered the association to stop blocking access to the beach from the boardwalk on Sundays, citing public access laws, "To put up the gates and tell people that on Sundays that they have to wait until 12:00 to go on the beach, I don't think it's right," Chris Patterson, a beach visitor, said. "It seems absurd to me that anyone would go back in time and close down these beaches in the morning," Kevin Cole, of Ocean Grove, said. The Christian group appealed the state's order and an administrative judge sided with them, which means the beaches could potentially be closed again on Sunday mornings. "This town was based on it. And I think it's an OK thing because it's part of the faith," Norma Jean Gustavsen, another beach visitor, said. CBS News New York reached out to NJDEP and the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, but there's been no comment on the judge's ruling from either side so far. Ultimately, the NJDEP commissioner will make the final decision on the issue this month. The state attorney general asked them to keep the beach open on Sundays.

Pope to bestow one of Catholic Church's highest honours on John Henry Newman
Pope Leo XIV has decided to declare St John Henry Newman a 'doctor' of the church, bestowing one of the Catholic Church's highest honours on the deeply influential 19th century Anglican convert who remains a unifying figure in both the Anglican and Catholic churches. The Vatican said Leo confirmed the opinion of the Vatican's saint-making office during an audience on Thursday with its prefect, Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, and would make the decision official soon. The designation is one of the most significant decisions of Leo's young papacy and also carries deep personal meaning: Newman was strongly influenced by St Augustine of Hippo, the inspiration of Leo's Augustinian religious order. The title of doctor is reserved for people whose writings have greatly served the universal church. Only three-dozen people have been given the title over the course of the Church's 2,000-year history, including St Augustine, St Francis de Sales and St Teresa of Avila. Newman's path to being declared a doctor has been exceptionally quick, after Pope Benedict XVI beatified him during a visit to Britain in 2010. Pope Francis made him a saint in 2019, with the then-Prince of Wales, now King, in attendance. Newman, a theologian and poet, is admired by Catholics and Anglicans alike because he followed his conscience at great personal cost. When he defected from the Church of England to the Catholic Church in 1845, he lost friends, work and even family ties, believing the truth he was searching for could only be found in the Catholic faith. Newman was one of the founders of the so-called Oxford Movement of the 1830s, which sought to revive certain Roman Catholic doctrines in the Church of England by looking back to the traditions of the earliest Christian church. But he gave up a brilliant academic career at Oxford University and the pulpit of the university church to convert to Catholicism. As a Catholic, he became one of the most influential theologians of the era, bringing elements of the Anglican church into his new faith tradition. He died in Britain in 1890.
