Profiles Of Egypt's Main Presidential Candidates

Pope Francis is calling for renewal in the Catholic church as he wrapped up two days of mass gatherings in St. Peter's Square aimed at energizing the faithful. About 200,000 people turned out Sunday for Mass celebrated by Francis, about the same size crowd that came to a pep rally for Catholics that the pope led the night before in the square. Francis urged his church to be more welcoming and avoid closing in on itself. But he warned that faithful should avoid "dangerous parallel paths" outside of doctrine. In the pope's native South America, many Catholics have defected to dynamic evangelical Protestant churches. For a second-straight day, Francis delighted the crowd by riding in his popemobile beyond the confines of Vatican City and down a Rome boulevard.

Cairo airport officials say baggage handlers have resumed work after a strike that left passengers on 20 international flights from Europe and Arab countries waiting several hours for luggage. Baggage handlers went on strike Saturday afternoon to demand stronger safety measures after a colleague died when a conveyer belt used to unload luggage fell on his head. His EgyptAir co-workers say it took more than an hour for the ambulance to arrive at the scene from the airport's onsite hospital. Hospital officials deny this, and say the ambulance arrived within 10 minutes. EgyptAir official Alaa el-Shahawy, who is responsible for ground logistics at Cairo airport, submitted his resignation Sunday. Airport officials say he will remain in the job until an investigation is complete. Officials spoke anonymously in line with regulations.

Zimbabwe's prime minister says his party will end years of bias and abuse by the police, military and intelligence services and will make sure the services uphold the country's new constitution which demands impartiality in their duties. Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said Sunday if his party comes to power it will manage the police and military so that Zimbabweans "will not fear their soldiers and policemen" any longer. Launching his party's election platform, Tsvangirai said security services must be professional and non-partisan in their operations and respect civilian politicians. President Robert Mugabe's loyalist police and military are widely blamed by human rights organizations for state-orchestrated violence in previous elections. New polls are expected around September to end a shaky coalition government formed after violent, disputed elections in 2008.

Israel has completed an investigation into a decade-old French TV report that claimed Israeli forces killed a Palestinian boy in a gunbattle with Palestinian militants, saying the video was misleading and unfairly blamed Israel. France 2 network's images from Sept. 30, 2000, days after a Palestinian uprising erupted, allegedly showed the death of Mohammed al-Dura, cowering with his father during gunfire between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip. The circumstances remain disputed. A government report released Sunday raises doubts about Israel's role. It says al-Dura was shown alive toward the end of raw video from France 2. The boy has become a symbol for Palestinians who accuse Israel of using excessive force. Israel says the video has been used by militants as an excuse to attack Israelis.

This apple has nothing to do with Adam. The Catholic Church unveiled a new iPad application this week, intended to keep the faithful abreast of Vatican comings-and-goings, as well as other news from the church's missions throughout the world. Called the MISSIO App, the new software debuted during a ceremony hosted this week by newly-minted Pope Francis in the Vatican's Clementine Hall, according to the Catholic News Agency, or CNA. "I push here?" the Pope reportedly asked, when presented with an iPad from Father Andrew Small, U.S. national director of the Pontifical Mission Societies. "As soon as the Holy Father hit the button, a little notice came across the top …and it said, 'Pope Francis has unlocked the MISSIO App,'" the Rev. Small told CNA. "He sort of looked a little bit surprised." The app is reportedly available in English, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Portuguese, Chinese and Arabic. "I was quite anxious that we were going to get the signal and it was all going to work," Small told CNA. The MISSIO App was reportedly developed by Little iApps and is available for free in the iTunes App Store and on Google Play. The Pope is putting "the missionary Gospel in the pockets of millions of people, young and old, rich and poor, believer and searcher," Small reportedly added. "Ever since his election, Pope Francis has reached far beyond the Vatican, touching people's lives in simple and meaningful ways."
