Pope calls for fasting and prayer for peace in Middle East and Ukraine as he returns to Vatican
Pope Leo XIV asked people to fast on Friday to pray for peace and justice in the Middle East and Ukraine, issuing a special appeal as he returned to the Vatican from summer vacation. At the end of his weekly general audience Wednesday, Leo recalled that Friday is a special feast day dedicated to the Virgin Mary. He urged Catholic faithful to spend the day fasting and 'praying that the Lord grants peace and justice, and dries the tears of all those who are suffering as a result of the armed conflicts underway.' Leo has called for ceasefires in Gaza and Ukraine and for dialogue to achieve peace. Wednesday marked Leo's first day back at the Vatican after a period of vacation at the papal summer retreat in Castel Gandolfo, south of Rome. Going forward, the pope has some important appointments including special audiences for the Vatican's 2025 Holy Year and the Sept. 7 canonization of the Catholic Church's first millennial saint Carlo Acutis. At the end of Wednesday's audience, Leo received a special gift: A Ping-Pong table decorated with his papal coat of arms. Leo, an avid tennis player, gamely picked up a paddle and bounced a ball on it, but the ball rolled into the net. ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

Celtic hero Chris Sutton brutally trolls Rangers fans for ‘giving up' on their team against Brugge
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHRIS SUTTON doesn't usually need much invitation to have a pop at old rivals Rangers and their fans. And the Celtic hero did just that during Gers' disastrous Champions League qualifying defeat last night. 3 Chris Sutton couldn't resist trolling Rangers fans after their Champions League qualifying defeat Credit: PA 3 Russell Martin's side went down 3-1 to Club Brugge at Ibrox Credit: Getty 3 Many Gers fans headed for the exits when their team went 3-0 down inside 20 minutes Credit: Willie Vass Rangers have a mountain to climb in their quest to reach the Champions League proper after their 3-1 first leg to defeat to Club Brugge. A second-half goal from Danilo restored a shred of hope for Russell Martin's men - and they might have had a second, only for Djeidi Gassama's strike to be controversially ruled out. But Gers had already given themselves far too much to do, conceding twice to the Belgian side inside the first seven minutes. Brandon Mechele added a third for the visitors on 20 minutes, and that was the cue for a number of Rangers supporters to begin leaving Ibrox. And Sutton took delight in mocking his old enemies, taking to X, formerly Twitter, to compile their misery. He posted: "I thought Rangers fans don't do walking away… 20 minutes in and many have given up already…" It's not the first incident this season involving Sutton's social media postings on European night. Earlier this month, Hibs and Dundee United both earned impressive Conference League qualifying results on the same night. United didn't end up going through in their tie with Rapid Wein but managed a 2-2 draw in the first leg, and on the same evening Hibs beat Partizan Belgrade 2-0 in a result which was eventually enough to get them through to the final play-off with Legia Warsaw. Sutton had been quick to congratulate the Scottish sides, posting on X: "Well played Hibs and Dundee United this evening." Moment Rangers hero Kris Boyd and Celtic icon Chris Sutton give Scottish Premiership title predictions - as one pundit FAILS to answer question But the Englishman was soon called out by Greatest Hits Radio Glasgow host Ewen Cameron, who pointed out that Sutton hadn't mentioned Rangers' 3-0 victory over Viktoria Plzen in Champions League qualifying two nights before. He said: "You appear to have missed Rangers' great result on Tuesday night, they won 3-0." Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
