The 10 Baptists, most from Idaho, were arrested last week trying to take 33 Haitian children across the border into the Dominican Republic without the required documents, according to outraged Haitian officials, who have called them child traffickers.

(AP) – ROME – These days, it seems beleaguered Italian automaking could use a little divine intervention. After car giant Fiat announced plans to shut auto production at its Sicilian plant, Pope Benedict XVI waded into worldly matters to urge the company to keep the jobs in Italy. The papal admonishment of Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne follows a dressing down from the president of France for Carlos Ghosn, head of automaker Renault, as governments put pressure on carmakers and other manufacturers that benefitted from taxpayer help to keep production at home. It’s a trend seen across the continent: As corporations try to stay nimble in an age of cut-throat competition,…

LONDONDERRY, N.H. — The Londonderry Town Council unanimously rejected a petition Monday night to consider challenging the new gay marriage law in New Hampshire, which took effect Jan. 1. Since then, opponents have launched an effort to challenge the law by raising the issue at town meetings around the state.
Opponents of same-sex marriage want residents to be able to vote on a constitutional amendment that would define marriage. Petitions have gone before town councils across the state, urging communities to send letters to state leaders requesting residents vote on gay marriage.
