Pope Francis Urges Priests to Welcome Remarried Catholics
In his first remarks to his general audience after a summer break, Francis reminded church leaders that divorced Catholics who remarry “are not at all excommunicated.”"Despite Francis’ encouraging words, the Catholic Church is not expected to change on fundamental issues like marriage. Last week, the Vatican’s secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, reaffirmed church doctrine and called marriage “a lifelong covenant of love and fidelity between a man and a woman” in a letter to the Knights of Columbus Supreme Convention in Philadelphia."

New York Officials Move to Regulate Towers Tied to Legionnaires’ Disease Outbreak
The number of cases in the Bronx rose to 86 on Tuesday, though Mayor Bill de Blasio said the pace of the outbreak had slowed.There may be a failure to regulate evaporative cooling in urban environments.
It exists because it is a cheap way to dispose of waste heat.
We are short of water so the cooling water is recirculated more.
Bleach which would disinfect the cooling water is not considered environmentally friendly.
