U.S. Catholic bishops have consecrated the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, marking the country's 250th anniversary. The ceremony took place Thursday in Orlando with bishops and worshippers kneeling before relics of St. Mary Margaret Alacoque. Her visions inspired the devotion. The service celebrated the nation's history and acknowledged its failures, including slavery and racism. Earlier in the day, the bishops approved minor revisions to policies on responding to sexual abuse, maintaining a ban on priests found to have abused children. Some bishops wanted a delay for broader feedback, but they were outvoted.
Police have used water cannons on protesters in Northern Ireland after violence erupted a second night over a stabbing in Belfast.

Politicians condemned the violence, emphasizing the importance of unity. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and others have denounced the attacks, urging people not to let this incident fuel further division.
Chicago police are urging residents to come forward with any information about a cross burning in a public park. The burning of a cross is a historic symbol of hate and intimidation against Black Americans. However, the intent behind the fire Tuesday afternoon in Grant Park was still unclear. Police released a community alert Wednesday that included an image of a person walking away from the area Tuesday. Video taken by a driver that circulated widely online showed the wooden cross engulfed in bright orange flames as it leaned against a tree in the park. Chicago firefighters put out the blaze.

The fatal stabbing of a British teenage who was handcuffed despite telling offices that he was wounded has sparked a debate about policing and race. The killing of teenager Henry Nowak in December gained renewed attention after the killer, Vickrum Digwa, was sentenced to life in prison on Monday. Police responded to a report that Nowak had racially assaulted Digwa and officers initially dismissed Nowak's claim that he had been stabbed. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Tuesday that he was sickened by video of the arrest and expressed concern over how racism accusations influenced police decisions. A police watchdog is investigating the officers' actions.
