A national religious organization, Catholics for Catholics, gathered a lineup of anti-abortion influencers and conspiracy theorists from across the U.S. to speak at the rally to urge a “yes” vote on a ballot question in Ohio, known as Issue 1. If voters approved Issue 1, it would make it more difficult for an abortion rights amendment on the November ballot to succeed. (AP Photo/Darron Cummings)

Road blocks like this by the Ulster Defence Association were a common sight in strife-torn Belfast, Northern Ireland, shown here on December 21, 1977. The UDA was affiliated with the Unionist, or protestant, side of The Troubles conflict. The level of violence in 1977 was the lowest since 1970. Violence-induced deaths were reduced to 110 in 1977, as compared with 297 in 1976. More than 3,500 casualties are attributed to the Northern Ireland conflict, which lasted from the late 1960s to 1998. RNS archive photo, courtesy of the Presbyterian Historical Society

 

Father John V. Coffield, pastor of Ascension church in Los Angeles, requested — and was granted — a “self-imposed exile” in Chicago for an indefinite period. He is shown here with Father Juan Soto, left, and a group of parishioners, on Dec. 29, 1964. Coffield, in announcing the exile, claimed he had been forbidden to preach out against racial problems by Cardinal James Francis McIntyre, Archbishop of Los Angeles. Coffield said he preferred the exile to maintaining “silence on racism,” and as a solution to “an impasse between my cardinal and myself.” Coffield also claimed he had been given an “enforced vacation of five months” from June to November after he had spoken out against a state proposition nullifying anti-discrimination laws in housing, later approved by voters.
