OSV Celebrates the Election of Pope Leo XIV
HUNTINGTON, Ind., May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The board of directors, senior leadership, and staff of Our Sunday Visitor (OSV), in union with the Catholic Church around the world and especially here in the United States, rejoices in the election of Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost as Pope Leo XIV, the 267th occupant of the Chair of Saint Peter, and prays for the success of his pontificate.
"When Fr. John Francis Noll founded Our Sunday Visitor in Huntington, Indiana, in 1912, I am sure he would have been delighted to know that, a little over a century later, the College of Cardinals would elect a pope not just from America, but from the heartland of the Midwest," said OSV CEO Kyle Hamilton. "Through OSV's unique publishing agreements with the Vatican and the USCCB, we look forward to bringing the writings of Pope Leo XIV to Catholics in the United States and beyond."
"For the first American pope to take the name of Leo at this moment in history seems providential," noted OSV Publisher Scott P. Richert. "The Church in the United States strongly embraced the social teaching of Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical Rerum Novarum, creating more just economic and political institutions nationwide, while also experiencing massive growth in numbers and influence in America in the first half of the 20th century. Let us pray that Pope Leo XIV inspires a similar resurgence today in the Church in the United States, which is already growing as a result of the National Eucharistic Revival."
On May 16, OSV Books will release Pope Leo XIV, the first and most comprehensive introduction to the 267th pope, which also details the global challenges Pope Leo faces in succeeding Pope Francis as Bishop of Rome. Written by Jesús Colina, a prominent Spanish journalist based in Rome, Pope Leo XIV can be preordered on OSVBooks.com.
OSV invites the faithful to visit the websites for OSV News, the premier Catholic news service in the United States, and Our Sunday Visitor magazine for comprehensive coverage of, and thoughtful reflection on, this historic moment in the life of the Church, leading up to Pope Leo XIV's inauguration Mass on May 18.

Hilton's NoMad Hotels luxury lifestyle brand to debut in Detroit
NoMad Hotels, part of global hospitality company Hilton, is set to introduce a new hotel in Detroit, Michigan, US, marking a development in the city's ongoing revitalisation efforts. The NoMad property will be situated within The Station at Michigan Central, a 30-acre technology and cultural hub, aiming to breathe new life into the historic, once-abandoned passenger rail station. Michigan Central CEO Josh Sirefman said: 'NoMad's track record of thoughtfully integrating into culturally significant places and for creating spaces that celebrate local character made them a natural fit. 'This partnership is a continuation of our work of turning The Station at Michigan Central into a global destination that serves residents and attracts visitors as well as inspiring entrepreneurs, industry, and creatives.' Following an agreement signed with Ford Motor Company, the hotel is set to open in 2027. The NoMad property in Detroit will feature around 180 guest rooms, including 30 suites, and will occupy the top five floors of The Station's tower. This will be the first time in the building's history that floors 14-18 will be used. The hotel is expected to offer wellness facilities and other amenities. Inaugurated in 1913 and designed by the architects behind New York's Grand Central, The Station is poised to anchor the hotel's design, which will be influenced by a collaboration with local artists and makers. NoMad's signature restaurant and bar concepts will reimagine The Station's historic restaurant and carriage house. The announcement of NoMad Detroit comes after Michigan Central and Ford opened The Station in June 2024. The project now moves into its next phase, establishing The Station as a global destination. The site has already attracted multinational corporations and small businesses. Hilton Luxury and Mixed-used Development vice president Kara Randall said: 'This project is one of many new locations for Hilton's luxury brands, following announcements in Turks & Caicos, Egypt, Singapore and India. 'With our existing NoMad footprint in London and NoMad Singapore in the pipeline in Asia, we chose to announce our next NoMad project with Ford, who, like Hilton, represents iconic American companies at this quintessential crossroads for US travel in the historic renovation of Michigan Central Station.' This latest venture is a key addition to Hilton's luxury portfolio, which now includes more than 500 properties globally. Hilton's recent luxury openings span across the globe, from Costa Rica to Paris, and the company has around 100 luxury hotels in development. Earlier in 2025, Hilton opened the Sanctity Hotel, a Tapestry Collection property, further expanding its presence in the US hospitality market in Rancho Cucamonga, California.

BBC Boss Says 'We Need to Protect Our National IP' and Need 'Muscular Partnerships With Big U.S. Tech'
'We need to protect our national IP', BBC boss Tim Davie told the Media & Telecoms 2025 and Beyond Conference, organized by Deloitte and Enders Analysis, in London on Tuesday. 'That's where the value is.' For example, 'we need to decide if we're going to invest in things like the World Service, which to me, is a no-brainer.' Also important for the BBC's future are 'muscular partnerships with the big American tech companies,' he highlighted. 'I think we cannot work without some of those really big guys. And I think we can create co-ventures and create value for us and the U.K. public in that in quite a compelling way.'

Pierce Brosnan Talks 'MobLand' Finale, James Bond and Who Sophie's Real Dad Is in 'Mamma Mia!' The Crawleys Are Off to the Races in First Trailer for 'Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale' Amid an ongoing debate about the BBC's future ahead of its current royal charter, which details its priorities and governance, he also called the independence of the BBC, and other public broadcasters around the world, 'sacrosanct' and urged to ensure 'universal funding' for the broadcaster. He even expressed concern that there could well be a future in which 'people don't care' anymore about the U.K. public broadcaster. 'The BBC is venture capital for the U.K.,' he also argued in highlighting its ability to invest in areas outside of London, including in the likes of Manchester. Serving people rather than forcing things on audiences is key, Davie also mentioned on Tuesday, mentioning that AI can help with curation. His comments came a year after he had highlighted the 'red alert situation' for public service broadcasters in many parts of the world at the conference, saying about the U.K. public broadcaster that he leads: 'I don't want to be a market failure.' A BBC review of allegations of bullying, published at the end of April, found no evidence of a 'toxic culture' but a 'minority of people whose behavior is simply not acceptable.' The broadcaster vowed to 'take immediate action to improve workplace culture' after publishing the comprehensive independent report that its board had commissioned.

I'm the OKC mayor. Copying Indy's sports strategy brought us to the NBA Finals.
Team success in professional sports often serves as a metaphor for a city's progress. As we face each other in the NBA Finals, the eyes of the world are on Oklahoma City and Indianapolis. Thanks to the exploits of our basketball teams, the cities behind that success are also in the spotlight. From this exposure, we both anticipate benefits for years to come. Students of Oklahoma City history will see it as poetic that we are facing Indianapolis at such an important moment in our city's history. I suspect you might not know why, so I felt compelled to share. In the early 1990s, for nearly two years, our two cities competed vigorously and publicly for a United Airlines maintenance facility that was purported to bring over 7,000 new jobs. In October 1991, United chose Indianapolis, despite Oklahoma City's herculean efforts, including voter approval of a sales tax to incentivize United. It was reported that we offered $200 million cash. The competition between cities for major economic developments is relatively common, and this opportunity ended up bringing far fewer and less stable jobs than were promised. And so this tale might have largely been forgotten had it not been the catalyst for what came next in Oklahoma City. Our mayor at the time, Ron Norick, visited with United Airlines leadership after the failed bid. The feedback and his own conclusions delivered clarity. Our city might have offered friendly people and easy living, but our downtown was dead, we had no professional sports and, generally, living in OKC was like living in an alternate universe outside of American pop culture. Norick was determined to learn from this defeat. So he got on a plane and flew to Indianapolis. There, he found a vibrant downtown and two major league professional sports teams. Like OKC, Indianapolis lacked mountains or an ocean, but it had a central meeting place and reasons for people to rally there. Through its downtown and its sports teams, and all the things that come with those amenities, Indianapolis offered a quality of life appropriate to a city its size. OKC was also a pretty large city, but after being hollowed out by urban renewal, an oil bust and a banking crisis, it felt more like a place where a lot of people just happened to live. Indianapolis — previously our foil — was now our inspiration. Norick decided to propose an initiative that was focused on our city's quality of life, with a particular emphasis on entertainment downtown. His initiative would be called Metropolitan Area Projects and would entail a temporary one-cent sales tax to fund the construction of nine projects (including the arena that is hosting Games 1 and 2 of the NBA Finals). The priorities might have seemed superficial, but as it turned out, our city's lack of such amenities was proving to be an existential crisis. In December 1993, our voters narrowly passed MAPS with 53% support. Sixteen months later, a domestic terrorist bombed our federal office building, murdering 168 of our neighbors. That was our darkest day, and it followed nearly 15 years of adversity. But, by 1998, MAPS projects were beginning to open. From that point forward, Oklahoma City has been on an uninterrupted upward trajectory that has become one of the greatest urban renaissance stories ever told. Opinion: Jim Irsay built everything we love about downtown Indianapolis OKC is now the 20th-largest city in the U.S., we have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation, we have major developments coming online every month and we now boast all the trappings of a great American city, from James Beard-winning restaurants to hip entertainment districts. And we have not stopped investing. In fact, we are now on MAPS 4. Its $1.1 billion is being deployed as we speak. Our downtown has gone from one hotel in 1993 to nearly 30. And, like Indianapolis, we have leveraged sports. In fact, I joined our chamber of commerce and dozens of city leaders on a 2006 trip to Indianapolis, where we toured all of your sports venues, including your NBA arena. Less than two years later, our Thunder began their NBA journey. We are also the home of the Women's College World Series and seven events of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Thirty-four years after our United Airlines loss to Indianapolis, Oklahoma City is now in the NBA Finals, an achievement that feels like the capstone of an amazing American success story. It has been a journey inspired by you. Should another chapter be written in the weeks ahead, I regret to tell you that you'll have no one but yourselves to blame.
