Police re-arraign Osun cleric who allegedly raped 16-year-old girl

The Osun cleric allegedly raped a 16-year-old girl and has been re-arraigned by the police. Habeebulah AbdulRahman, also known as Al-Edewy, was brought to court for the second time over the incident that occurred in 2019. Despite the family of the victim opting for an out-of-court settlement, AbdulRahman was re-arraigned due to pressure from rights groups and the media.

Denied Holy Communion: Priest declares abortion worse than pedophilia

Rev. Richard Bucci of Sacred Heart Church in West Warwick, Rhode Island defended his decision to withhold holy communion from lawmakers who supported an abortion rights bill.   Speaking to NBC affiliate WJAR in Providence, the 72-year-old Catholic priest stated that in his view, abortion is worse than pedophilia, describing it as "the slaughter of innocent children."   He further insisted that more children have been killed by abortion than those who have been abused.     Bucci emphasized, "We are not talking about any other moral issue, where some may make it a comparison between pedophilia and abortion. Pedophilia doesn't kill anyone, and this does."   In a separate interview on the “Gene Valicenti Show,” Bucci stated that he is not creating a new rule by denying lawmakers holy c...
