A 2018 deal between the Vatican and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) secured by Cardinal Pietro Parolin is once again under scrutiny as questions remain over how newly appointed Pope Leo XIV will take on the CCP.The Parolin-brokered deal was and remains a controversial agreement between the leaders of the Catholic Church and the CCP, which has long oppressed Catholics across China.While the agreement was championed by the late Pope Francis and his secretary of state, Parolin the Vaticans top diplomat as a step toward "normalizing" Catholicism in the communist nation, experts argue it has brought dangerous consequences for the faithful.WORLD LEADERS CONGRATULATE POPE LEO XIV, FIRST AMERICAN PONTIFF"It erodes papal authority to appoint bishops, the leadership of the Catholic Church in China," Nina Shea, senior fellow and director of the Center for Religious Freedom at Hudson Institute, told Fox News Digital."A principal responsibility of a bishop is to train and ordain priests," she explained. "Therefore, the CCP has been given control in determining the chain of authority in the hierarchical church."Under this agreement, all Catholic clergy are required to register with the CCPs Patriotic Association which was created in 1957 and was long rejected by the Catholic Church as illegitimate because it required that all clergy reject foreign influence, including that of the pope.Parolin in 2019 said the aim of this agreement was "to advance religious freedom in the sense of finding normalization for the Catholic community."Details of the deal remain unclear because it has been kept secret, explained Shea.While the agreement reportedly looked to end the decades-long negative ties between the Vatican and the CCP by allowing China to have more influence over bishop appointments, experts have argued for years it gave too much authority to the oppressive government.But there is an even greater problem when it comes to the Vatican seeming to have capitulated to the CCP.FIRST AMERICAN ELECTED PONTIFF, GET TO KNOW POPE LEO XIVFollowing the agreement, the Vatican additionally agreed to drop its support for the underground Catholic network, which has existed in China for decades and has supported millions of Catholics in the country. According to Shea, the CCP essentially "tricked" the Vatican because it simultaneously, in what she believes was an unbeknownst move to Parolin, banned children from being allowed in the Catholic Church this ban included important sacraments of the church like baptisms, holy communion and confirmations.The ban effectively blocks the continuation of the Catholic Church in China."The underground, even during the harshest period under Mao, carried out this education and evangelization," Shea said. "Without being able to perpetuate itself, the Catholic Church in China could die out in a couple generations.""Its a campaign to create an atheist society," she added.The Vatican did not immediately respond to Fox News Digitals questions over whether Pope Leo will adhere to the agreement with the CCP or look to forge a new one.TAIWAN EYES VATICAN-CHINA TIES AFTER POPE FRANCIS' DEATHBut in his first homily on Friday since being made leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo highlighted the churchs fight against rising atheism."There are many settings in which Jesus, although appreciated as a man, is reduced to a kind of charismatic leader or superman. This is true not only among non-believers but also among many baptized Christians, who thus end up living, at this level, in a state of practical atheism," he said. "These are contexts where it is not easy to preach the Gospel and bear witness to its truth, where believers are mocked, opposed, despised or at best tolerated and pitied."The pope said, for this reason, "missionary outreach is desperately needed."Pope Leo warned that a "lack of faith" has led to not only a "loss of meaning in life" for many, but also "the neglect of mercy, appalling violations of human dignity, the crisis of the family and so many other wounds that afflict our society."While congratulatory messages were issued by leaders of Catholic and non-Catholic nations alike, China did not issue a similar message upon the popes appointment on Thursday.In a Friday press conference, when asked about the Churchs new leader, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said, "We hope that under the leadership of the new pope, the Vatican will continue to have dialogue with China in a constructive spirit, have in-depth communication on international issues of mutual interest, jointly advance the continuous improvement of the China-Vatican relations and make contributions to world peace, stability, development and prosperity."

Transgender troops have between 30 and 60 days to self-separate from the military after a court order allowed the ban on their service to move forward, according to a Thursday memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth."After a SCOTUS victory for@POTUS, TRANS is out at the DOD," Hegseth wrote on X, along with a video announcing the new deadline.Approximately 1,000 service members have selfidentified as having gender dysphoria and will begin the voluntary separation process, according to the Pentagon.Active duty service members have until June 6, one month after the courts ruling, to leave the military. Reservists have until July 7.SUPREME COURT STAYS LOWER COURT RULING, ALLOWING TRUMP TRANSGENDER BAN TO PROCEED"The Secretary is encouraged by the Supreme Court's order staying the lower court's injunction, allowing the Department of Defense to carry out its policies associated with Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness," Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said in a statement celebrating the ruling and announcing the new timeline."In accordance with policy now reinstated, service members who have a current diagnosis or history of or exhibit symptoms consistent with gender dysphoria may elect to separate voluntarily," Hegseth said, adding that if they chose not to do so by the deadline, they would be removed "involuntarily, if necessary."HEGSETH SAYS HE'S SIGNING MEMO ON COMBAT ARMS STANDARDS FOR MEN AND WOMENThe high court ruling was a victory for the White House, even as the justices did not address the underlying merits of the case or PresidentDonald Trump's Jan. 27 executive order banning transgender service members from the U.S. military.A lower court had issued an injunction on the policy. The Trump administration argued that delaying the policy could pose a threat to U.S. military readiness.Trump officials have argued that the transgender military policy "furthers the governments important interests in military readiness, unit cohesion, good order and discipline, and avoiding disproportionate costs."An executive order signed by Trump in January ordered Hegseth to update medical standards to ensure they "prioritize readiness and lethality" and take action to "end the use of invented and identification-based pronouns" within the DOD.It says that expressing a "gender identity" different from an individuals sex at birth does not meet military standards.A categorical ban on transgender service members was lifted in 2014 under then-PresidentBarack Obama.Between Jan. 1, 2016, and May 14, 2021, the DOD reportedly spent approximately $15 million on providing transgender treatments (surgical and nonsurgical) to 1,892 active-duty service members, according to the Congressional Research Service.The transgender ban is part of a broader push by the new Pentagon leadership to root out any policies related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).Last month, Hegseth announced that "99.9%" of DEI-related policies had been eliminated at the Defense Department, as he raised standards for fitness tests and moved to ensure the combat fitness test held men and women to the same standards.Fox News' Breanne Deppisch and Haley Chi-Sing contributed to this report.

While President Donald Trump wants to gut the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are seeking to elevate FEMA to a Cabinet-level agency.FEMA is currently housed under the Department of Homeland Security, but the House effort would solidify FEMA as its own separate agency, according to a discussion draft of the legislation released Thursday.House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Rep. Sam Graves, R-Mo., and committee ranking member Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., are spearheading the legislation.Other proposals included in the draft legislation are instructing the Office of Management and Budget to create a centralized website tracking disaster assistance recovery across the federal government, and allowing FEMA to foot the bill for repairs to homes suffering damage in disasters.Currently, FEMA only covers expenses that make a home livable following disasters.FEMA IS NOT GOOD: TRUMP ANNOUNCES AGENCY OVERHAUL DURING VISIT TO NORTH CAROLINA"By releasing this discussion draft legislation, we hope to engage our colleagues and stakeholders on comprehensive FEMA reform," Graves said in a Thursday statement. "This draft bill includes substantive changes that will transform FEMA and our emergency programs to be much more state and locally driven not micro-managed into ineffectiveness by the federal government."While Trump and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem have voiced support for eradicating FEMA, the former acting administrator of FEMA, Cameron Hamilton, warned against gutting the agency on Wednesday."I do not believe it is in the best interest of the American people to eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency," Hamilton told lawmakers on the House Appropriations committee on Wednesday."Having said that, Im not in a position to make a decision," Hamilton said. "That is a conversation that should be had between the president of the United States and this governing body."However, Hamilton, who previously served as a hospital corpsman in the U.S. Navy with SEAL Team 8 and started leading FEMA in January, was ousted from his post Thursday.ACTING FEMA ADMINISTRATOR OUT AFTER PUSHING BACK AGAINST TRUMP'S AGENCY PLANSFEMA confirmed to Fox News Digital Thursday that Hamilton was no longer with the agency.Days after his inauguration in January, Trump visited North Carolina to oversee the state's efforts to recover from Hurricane Helene, more than 120 days after the storm struck the state. On the trip, Trump floated plans to gut FEMA, which oversaw the disaster relief efforts."I'll also be signing an executive order to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling FEMA, or maybe getting rid of FEMA," Trump told reporters in North Carolina. "I think, frankly, FEMA is not good."The executive order established a review council to evaluate potential reforms to FEMA, including whether the agencys bureaucracy restricts its ability to appropriately respond to disasters. Likewise, Trumps budget proposal includes plans to slash nearly $650 million in FEMA grants.On Tuesday, Noem told lawmakers that Trump stands by his statements that FEMAs current setup should be quashed."He believes that FEMA and its response in many, many circumstances has failed the American people, and that FEMA as it exists today should be eliminated," Noem said.

CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings laughed at fellow network commentator Ana Navarro Thursday night after she insisted former President Joe Biden doesn't "tell many lies."The conservative commentator burst out laughing at Navarro also a co-host on ABCs "The View" after she denied reporting that Biden had told former Vice President Kamala Harris to leave "no daylight" between their agendas while she campaigned for president last year.Navarro recounted that Biden denied the "daylight" comment during a live interview on "The View" earlier in the day and said she believed him, adding that she doesn't think he lies often.Jennings asked her of Biden, "You think hes ever told a lie?" Navarro replied, "I dont think he tells many lies," prompting Jennings to bend over laughing.JEN PSAKI RECALLS REACTION TO BIDEN'S DEBATE, HEARTBREAKING SUMMER BEFORE 2024 EXIT: I WAS LIKE, IS HE OK?The clash came several hours after Navarro and her "View" co-hosts spoke to Joe and Jill Biden on the set of the ABC talk show Thursday morning, asking him about claims made in a new book that he requested that Harris leave "no daylight" between them."Well, look, first of all, I did not advise her to say that, number one. Like I said, I was vice president. I understand the role, number one," he said. "Number two, I think it was, I think she was talking about, she wouldnt have changed the successes we had, not opposed to, we wouldnt change anything at all. She has to be her own person, and she was."Bidens response conflicted with reporting in "Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House," the book written by reporters Amie Parnes and Jonathan Allen in the aftermath of the 2024 election.Bidens alleged request to his then-vice president was seen as one of the contributing reasons for her loss. Critics have claimed Harris didnt do enough to separate herself from her ex-bosss unpopular presidency.Jennings confronted Navarro over the answer she received from Biden on her other show, suggesting shed rather believe Bidens statements over Parnes and Allens reporting."Its been reported. He told [Harris] point-blank he told her point-blank, No daylight, kid. No daylight," the conservative said, as Navarro tried to speak over him.BIDEN TELLS THE VIEW HE WASN'T SURPRISED HARRIS LOST, BLAMES SEXISM, RACISM"The View" co-host shot back that Jennings, a media critic, was buying the journalists claims without much skepticism."Oh, because reporting can never be wrong?" she asked."Are you attacking the journalism around it?," he replied."You think reporting can never be wrong? You come in and you come on here and you attack reporting every night! We actually asked him the question directly," Navarro responded, referencing her interview with Biden.Jennings rejected Bidens response, saying, "Theres critical reporting about this guy, and he told her point-blank, No daylight.'"After Jennings laughed at her denial that Biden wasn't being honest, Navarro hit back, "No. You know why you dont get to laugh like that? Because you support a guy who lies every freaking day and lies continuously. You support a guy who cannot acknowledge that he lost the 2020 election, and that lies about it."By this point in the discussion, the two were almost yelling at each other, prompting CNN anchor Abby Phillip to end the segment.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREFollowing the interview, Jennings continued defending his point on X, sharing the image of Allens headline mentioning Bidens alleged "daylight" claim.In the post, the CNN commentator invited the authors of the Biden book to refute Navarro and Bidens statements, writing, "Care to weigh in, @amieparnes and @jonallendc? Youve been called liars here on the no daylight kid moment - but my bet is youve got it right and Joe Biden cant remember what he had for breakfast yesterday. This will not age well."Allen replied to Jennings on Friday morning, declaring "We stand by our reporting, which @TheView noted was deeply sourced."In a follow-up post, Allen even argued that Biden had not even denied the "daylight" claim specifically.He wrote, "Also, Biden was asked a two-part question. 1) Harris saying theres not a thing that comes to mind on The View. 2) that he encouraged her to have no daylight from him. He answered the first I did not advise her to say that and ignored the second. Roll tape."

FIRST ON FOX:President Donald Trump Friday signed an executive order to establish a national center for homeless veterans with redirected funds previously spent on services for illegal aliens, Fox News Digital has learned.The presidents order directs the secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish the National Center for Warrior Independence on the Veterans Affairs campus in West Los Angeles.TRUMP TO HOST MILITARY PARADE TO CELEBRATE ARMY'S 250TH BIRTHDAY, HONOR ACTIVE-DUTY SERVICE MEMBERS, VETERANSLos Angeles has approximately 3,000 homeless veterans more than any other city in the country, and accounting for about 10% of all homeless veterans in America, according to the White House."The new National Center for Warrior Independence will help them and other veterans like them rebuild their lives," the White House said.The center will allow veterans from around the nation to seek and receive care, benefits and services "to which they are entitled," the White House said.The order redirects funds previously spent on housing or other services for illegal aliens to constructing, establishing and maintaining the new center."The Center will promote self-sufficiency through housing, substance abuse treatment, and support for productive work for the veterans housed there," the White House explained.The White House said the goal is to house up to 6,000 homeless veterans at the center by 2028.TRUMP TO CREATE TASK FORCE TO PLAN 'EXTRAORDINARY CELEBRATION' FOR 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICA'S INDEPENDENCEThe order also directs the secretary of Housing and Urban Development to use vouchers to support homeless veterans and instructs the secretary of Veterans Affairs to "restore accountability at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)."The order also instructs the VA to take action against individuals who have committed misconduct and to investigate and rectify the Biden administrations decision to "rehire and reinstate back pay for employees previously fired for misconduct."The order also ensures that veterans will have access to increased options for care, benefits and services including reduced wait times for Veterans Health Administration appointments through options such as expanded hours, weekend appointments and virtual healthcare.The order also directs a feasibility study at the Manchester VA Medical Center to expand services to support a full-service medical center in New Hampshire."President Trump strongly believes that every veteran deserves our gratitude, and that the federal government should treat veterans like the heroes they are," the White House said.The order comes a week after the White House announced that Trump will host a military parade in June to honor military veterans and active-duty service members and commemorate the U.S. Armys 250th birthday.The parade is scheduled for June 14, the 250th birthday of the United States Army.

Americans lambasted President George H. W. Bush for infamously vowing on stage at the 1988 Republican National Convention not to raise taxes on Americans, then supporting a tax hike as president two years later.History could repeat itself as President Donald Trump this week signaled his support for congressional Republicans raising taxes to accomplish the ambitious goals of his "big, beautiful bill," according to experts."My opponent won't rule out raising taxes, but I will. And the Congress will push me to raise taxes, and I'll say no. And they'll push and I'll say no. And they'll push again, and I'll say to them: Read my lips: no new taxes," then-Vice President Bush vowed at the 1988 convention, before raising taxes two years later with the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990.While acknowledging the political backlash his fellow Republican faced, Trump signaled in a Truth Social post on Friday his own willingness to raise taxes on Americans, following reports confirmed by Fox News Digital that the president is considering raising the tax rate on individuals making $2.5 million or more by 2.6%, from 37% to 39.6%.TRUMP CONSIDERS TAX HIKE ON AMERICANS MAKING $2.5 MILLION OR MORE PER YEAR"The problem with even a TINY tax increase for the RICH, which I and all others would graciously accept in order to help the lower and middle income workers, is that the Radical Left Democrat Lunatics would go around screaming, Read my lips, the fabled Quote by George Bush the Elder that is said to have cost him the Election. NO, Ross Perot cost him the Election! In any event, Republicans should probably not do it, but Im OK if they do!!!" Trump said.WHITE HOUSE QUIETLY FLOATS MILLIONAIRE TAX HIKE PROPOSAL IN CONGRESS AS GOP LEADERS SIGNAL OPPOSITIONRoss Perot, the late billionaire Texas businessman and philanthropist, ran an independent campaign as a third-party candidate in the 1992 presidential election, winning an historic 19% of the popular vote.As Trump suggested, the political fallout of raising taxes contributed to Bush losing re-election to President Bill Clinton in 1992. Democrats slammed Bush in campaign ads for walking back his word as conservative Republicans criticized the president for being out of step with the party's traditional tax policies.Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich led Republican criticism of Bush's tax hike proposal, and Gingrich has urged Trump to stand down on raising taxes since rumors the administration was floating a small tax hike first swirled.TRUMP'S FIRST VICE PRESIDENT URGES HIS OLD BOSS AGAINST RAISING TAXES ON WEALTHY AMERICANSGingrich recently told Larry Kudlow on FOX Business that Trump is a Ronald Reagan Republican, not a Bush Republican, and raising taxes would be an "act of destruction.""It would absolutely shatter his coalition," Gingrich said. "It would mean the entire conservative movement would rise in rebellion, and it would mean every small business in the country would start recalculating who they are going to lay off, if they are even going to stay in business. It would make no sense at all."Negotiations are ongoing among House Republicans to finalize Trump's "big, beautiful bill," which is expected to include an extension of Trump's 2017 tax cuts and fulfill campaign promises, including no tax on tips, overtime or Social Security.Republican politicians and pundits have joined Gingrich's critique of Trump's potential tax hike, arguing Trump is repeating the same mistakes as Bush."[House] Speaker [Mike] Johnson and Republican members of Congress must have experienced collective dj vu when President Trump urged Congress to raise taxes," New England College President Wayne Lesperance, a veteran political scientist and political historian,toldFoxNewsDigital. "Harkening back to the infamous 'Read my lips' pledge made by George H. W. Bush at the 1988 GOP Convention, today's Republicans must be nervous at the president's change on what is a sacrosanct issue for the party tax cuts. Interestingly, George H. W. Bush's decision to break his pledge was surrounded by notably different circumstances," Lesperance added.But Lesperance reminded Republicans, who currently control the House and Senate, that Democrats could gain an edge in the 2026 midterms if tax hikes prove to be as unpopular among Republicans as they were in 1992."Facing a Democratically controlled Congress, Bush reneged on his pledge as a compromise to reduce the deficit and pass the 1990 budget agreement. Bush's decision to compromise on taxes is widely credited with costing him his bid for re-election. As Speaker Johnson and Republican members of Congress look ahead to midterm elections, there must be collective worry that President Trump's shifting position on taxes will cost them at the polls," Lesperance said.Longtime Republican consultant David Carney, a veteran of numerous GOP presidential campaigns, said the move by Bush "was probably the single most detrimental thing to his re-election."Carney, who served in the elder Bushs White House and worked on his presidential campaigns, told Fox News "the deal he cut was excellent. He cut spending, balanced out the taxes."But Carney emphasized "all thats inside baseball and the reality is it was a great opportunity for people from the right and the left to make hay out of it, and it was absolutely hurtful."However, fiscal conservatives remain optimistic that Trump won't raise taxes, despite the president softening to the idea on social media on Friday morning."President Trump campaigned on not raising taxes, and we are confident thats exactly what hell do," Club for Growth President David McIntosh told Fox News Digital.When reached for comment about the Bush comparison, the White House pointed to press secretary Karoline Leavitt's comments during the White House briefing on Friday."The president wants tax cuts, the largest tax cuts in history," Leavitt said. "He wants to extend his historic tax cuts from 2017, and he wants to see all the other tax priorities," including no tax on tips, overtime or Social Security."The president has said he himself personally would not mind paying a little bit more to help the poor and the middle class and the working class in this country. I think, frankly, that's a very honorable position. But again, these negotiations are ongoing on Capitol Hill, and the president will weigh in when he feels necessary," she added.Fox News Digital's Elizabeth Elkind contributed to this report.
