en English Culture In his brief remarks introducing himself to the world, the new pope, Leo XIV, proclaimed his desire for the Church always to try “to be close especially to those who suffer.” It is a worthy goal, and one that can best be achieved by promoting the most effective anti-poverty tool in history: free enterprise. WASHINGTON, DC – Habemus papam! (“We have a pope!”).

Although Iran and the United States remain far apart on major questions regarding the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, a new round of indirect talks indicates that both sides view diplomacy as preferable to escalation. The window for achieving nuclear de-escalation may be narrow, but it is real. NEW YORK – Negotiators from the United States and Iran have just convened in Oman for their fourth round of nuclear talks.

US President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office have largely focused on trade and immigration policy. Latin American countries haven’t borne the brunt of these protectionist measures, and in some cases have collaborated with his administration, but that doesn’t mean that they will be immune to the fallout.

en English Economics As reckless and irredeemable as Donald Trump’s tariff campaign is, some good can come of it. The key is for countries to preserve or increase free trade among themselves and reduce their dependence on the US in other realms (such as defense), while working together to persuade the US to abandon its costly protectionism.

India’s Warning to Pakistan | by Brahma Chellaney - Project Syndicate

1 week ago | project-syndicate.org | Brahma Chellaney

No country can be expected to uphold a peacetime treaty while suffering the consequences of an undeclared war. If Pakistan refuses to end its support for cross-border terrorism, India has every right to withdraw from the now-paused Indus Waters Treaty. NEW DELHI – Last month, Islamist gunmen – two of whom have been identified as Pakistani nationals – slaughtered 26 civilians in the Indian-administered part of divided Kashmir.
The Deplorable Rise of MAGA Catholicism | by Ian Buruma - Project Syndicate

1 week ago | project-syndicate.org | Ian Buruma

As cardinals convene to elect a new pope, perhaps the biggest question is whether they will select a reactionary figure to match the populist mood of our era. Even though American Catholics were once regarded as a relatively liberal community, many have now embraced Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement. NEW YORK – Some popes are perfectly suited to their times.
Financial Stability Requires an Independent Fed | by Simon Johnson & Erkki Liikanen - Project Syndicate

1 week ago | project-syndicate.org | Simon Johnson

In a February executive order, the Trump administration claimed complete control over all measures by the Federal Reserve other than those concerning monetary policy. This is already a concern, because many regulatory decisions are fundamental to financial stability and therefore to the conduct of monetary policy. WASHINGTON, DC – When US President Richard Nixon appointed Arthur Burns as Federal Reserve Chair in 1970, he welcomed him to the job with these words: “I respect his independence.

1 week ago | project-syndicate.org | Shashi Tharoor

en English Politics Pakistan spent decades nurturing, sheltering, arming, training, and financing the Taliban, which it viewed as a convenient instrument for exerting control over Afghanistan and achieving “strategic depth” against India.

2 weeks ago | project-syndicate.org | Peter Singer

The late pope’s powerful encyclical, Laudato Si’, overturned the doctrine of absolute human domination over the natural world. Unfortunately, as in many other areas where liberals hoped for practical change, when it came to nonhuman animals, Francis failed to use his position to press for real-world reforms. MELBOURNE – When Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected Pope in 2013, many liberals had high expectations. Would priests be allowed to marry?
