Catholic Church clarifies on pope’s pronouncement on blessings for same sex couples.
According to UEC, the misinterpretation of the Pope's 11-page document has triggered the Catholic Church to focus their Christmas and New Year gospel reflections on the importance of family for Uganda’s development.
"The purpose of marriage is to have children. People of the same sex can't get married and fulfill this purpose as stated in the book of Genesis. Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem, so we happily celebrate his birthday [Christmas Day]," Bishop Zziwa added.
Still on Saturday, he advised the faithful to reject ideologies and practices which seek to destroy family and national peace.
Christians have also been reminded to “to fight selfishness, greed, corruption, injustice, envy, immorality, poverty hunger and all forms of conflict.”

Aston “Family Man” Barrett, bassist for Bob Marley and the Wailers, has died aged 77.
The news was confirmed on Saturday by Olivia Grange, Jamaica’s minister for culture, who wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “I share with you my deep regret at the passing of Aston Francis Barrett, popularly known as ‘Family Man’ or ‘Fams’ … He died at the University of Miami Hospital in Florida in the United States early this morning.”
Barrett was born in 1946 and grew up in Kingston, where he would help to lay the foundations for reggae and dub. As a child, he sang along to soul music on the radio before switching over to the bass.
He built his first bass guitar from scratch using plywood, a curtain rod and an old ashtray.

As predicted, South Carolina’s Democratic primary Saturday is proving to be a low-key affair – but that hasn’t stopped Joe Biden from trying to boost turnout.
The president posted a video on the social media platform X in which he said simply: “South Carolina, go vote today!” Biden also made a stop at his 2024 campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, alongside vice-president Kamala Harris.
Nearly seven in 10 voters have said they plan to vote for Biden during Saturday’s primary, a recent Emerson College poll found. Challengers Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson were polling at about 5% and 3%, respectively. Three in 10 South Carolina voters were expected to take part in the primary.

Sinn Fein’s Michelle O’Neill has been formally appointed Northern Ireland’s first minister by the regional parliament, the first time an Irish nationalist is leading the United Kingdom territory’s devolved government.
O’Neill’s appointment, confirmed by the speaker, on Saturday came after the rival Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), the biggest pro-UK party, ended a two-year boycott of the region’s power-sharing government after striking a deal with the UK government to ease trade frictions.
“This is an historic day and it does represent a new dawn,” she told fellow legislators after her selection.

The United States warned of more retaliatory attacks after it hit Iran-linked targets in Iraq and Syria overnight in response to an attack that killed American soldiers in Jordan amid Israel’s war on Gaza.
“This aggressive strike will put security in Iraq and the region on the brink of the abyss,” the Iraqi government said, and denied Washington’s claims of coordinating the air attacks with Baghdad as “false” & “aimed at misleading international public opinion”.
The presence of the US-led military coalition in the region “has become a reason for threatening security and stability in Iraq and a justification for involving Iraq in regional and international conflicts”, read the statement from Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s office.

California Bill Would Give Unemployment Benefits To Illegal Immigrants.
On Jan. 1, illegal immigrants in California received free medical care.
That was thanks to Assembly Bill 133, which Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law in July 2021.
Cost: $4 billion more a year, as an estimated 764,000 illegal immigrants are added to the already stuffed rolls of the 14.6 million Californians on Medi-Cal, the state’s version of the Medicare program.
At the signing almost three years ago, Mr. Newsom exclaimed, “We’re investing California’s historic surplus to accomplish transformative changes we’ve long dreamed of—including this historic Medi-Cal expansion to ensure thousands of older undocumented Californians, many of whom have been serving on the front lines of the pandemic, can access critical health care services.”

Police arrest man who was reportedly tackled by passengers after leaving three victims with non-life-threatening injuries
A man has been arrested after three people were stabbed at a busy railway station in Paris.
Reports suggested the alleged attacker was first tackled by passengers and a security agent at the Gare de Lyon just before 8am on Saturday, before officers arrived at the scene. Police said early indications suggested the attack was not terrorism-related.
The three victims, who were in the station’s lower level hall number three, sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Two were taken to hospital, where one was said to have a serious wound.
French media reported that the arrested man, who was allegedly carrying a knife and a hammer, was originally from Mali and had shown police an Italian driving licence during his arrest.

Signed sneakers Michael Jordan wore during NBA championship games sold for a whopping $8 million at an auction in New York City.
Sotheby’s announced Friday that a set of six individual sneakers worn by the basketball legend broke the record for the most expensive game-worn sneakers ever sold.

The auction house did not identify the buyer who ponied up $8,032,800 for the winning bid.
“Today’s record-breaking price is a testament to the GOAT” Sotheby’s chief Brahm Wachter said in a statement.”Serving as both a reminder of Michael Jordan’s lasting impact on the world and a tangible expression of his recognized legendary status, its significance is further validated by this monumental result”
