      Plagiarist Priests May Face Jail Time in Poland

      If Polish priests don’t stop their plagiarizing ways, they could be slapped with a fine or even thrown in jail for 3 years, church authorities warn.

      Obama Campaign Drops Rev. Wright

      Jeremiah Wright, the militant Chicago minister and spiritual adviser to Barack Obama, is off the senator’s campaign, CNN reports. Wright will no longer sit on the senator’s African-American Religious Leadership Committee, the campaign announced.

But yesterday the candidate went further, calling some old sermons that have come to light this week "inflammatory and appalling." More »
