During the dialogues, the pope, who was born Jorge Bergoglio in Argentina, described the pleasures of a well-cooked meal and “sexual pleasure.” In his view, these had previously fallen victim to “overzealousness” by the Catholic Church in the past in what was a “wrong interpretation of the Christian message....

During a speech to Holy See ambassadors during an annual event when he sets out Vatican foreign policy, Francis called for people to get vaccinated and lamented how people have been swayed by “baseless information” to refuse one of the most effective measures to save lives. “And this translates into respect for the health of those around us. Health care is a moral obligation,” said Francis, who has been fully vaccinated with Pfizer-BioNTech shots....

In a European Tour first, the 27,000 tickets for each of the closing three days of this week’s Irish Open have been sold out.

The Madeira man was able to drift into the six-yard box to meet Gelson Martins’ clever cross, before neatly guiding the ball past a helpless Karl Johnsson. The goal moves him joint-ninth in the all-time goalscorers list, alongside Germany’s Miroslav Klose, and just six behind Brazil legend Pele....

Not that we mind waiting, with a cast this diverting. Indeed, the mystery itself is the least interesting aspect of the film. What intrigues us are the fraught social dynamics, the class tensions between servants and masters, the subtle, nasty games of one-upmanship played by the guests of the powerful Sir William McCordle (Michael Gambon) and his icily soignee wife, Lady Sylvia (Kristin Scott Thomas). Among the invited are the preposterously snobbish Countess of Trentham (Maggie Smith, venomously entertaining), the film star Ivor Novello (Jeremy Northam), a Hollywood producer (Bob Balaban) attended by his “Scottish valet” (Ryan Phillippe) and a gaggle of aristocrats more desperate than their titles would suggest....
