Though they constitute just over 5 percent of the population, gay men may make up half the student body at the 76 high-school, college and graduate-level seminaries across the country, according to broad estimates. For decades Roman Catholic Church leaders have quietly reckoned with this surprising truth about seminary life. There is no rule against celibate gays as seminarians, theologians say. But for a church where priests preach that homosexuality is an “intrinsic evil,” it is at the least incongruous that so many would-be priests are gay....

Genes are carried in our DNA, units of inheritance that determine the traits that are passed down from parent to child. We inherit about 3 billion pairs of genes from our mothers and fathers. They determine the color of our eyes, how tall we may be and, in some instances, the risk we have in developing certain diseases. As a physician, I know the role that genetics plays in determining our health....

PSG closing in on Draxler and Rodriguez The champions appear close to signing the 20-year-old Nigerian midfielder, but the Red Devils have also been credited with an interest in the 19-year-old Jamaican attacker, who could also be on the move come January. “We’ll fight to keep them here until the end of this season, but that is no easy task,” De Conde told HLN. “If mega bids - by Belgian standards - are made, they we cannot reject it, and if the boys also feel ready for a step up then it will be very difficult to keep them in Genk....

Smith also has been one of the league’s most efficient QBs. He leads the league with a 77.3 completion percentage and his 108 passer rating is fourth, just behind Patrick Mahomes. He is also sixth among qualifiers in yards per attempt at 7.9. Wilson has been an upgrade for the Broncos’ offense, no doubt (how couldn’t he be?). But his completion percentage (61.1), rating (91.1) and YPA (7.5) haven’t been as good as Smith’s so far....

Early Sunday Morning, the president tweeted a denial about a new article on alleged tensions in the White House: “The Washington Post Story, about my speech in North Carolina and tweet, with its phony sources who do not exist, is Fake News.

You’ll see in 2020!” CNN’s Jake Tapper then retweeted the president, sharing a link to the article in question....

The frequent presidential critic responded to a tweet by the president in which he complained about challenges he’s faced in dealing with foreign leaders. Trump claimed it is “difficult to deal with foreign leaders (and others) when I am having to constantly defend myself against the Do Nothing Democrats & their bogus Impeachment Scam.” Conway replied directly to the president, writing that Trump himself was the only one to blame for his struggles with foreign leaders....
