Archbishop who called on Pope to resign says corruption reaches the topArchbishop Carlo Maria Vigano has gone into hiding since conservative media published an 11-page statement in which he alleged the pope knew for years about sexual misconduct by an American cardinal and did nothing about it. Vigano has been communicating through Aldo Maria Valli, an Italian television journalist who Vigano consulted several times before releasing his statement last Sunday when the pope was in Ireland. Italian media has reported he was upset because he was never made a cardinal by former Pope Benedict or because Francis blocked his further advancement in the Church.

Posted: 30 Aug 2018 12:55 PM PDT

Judge gives U.S. more time to decide on retrying Manafort on deadlocked chargesU.S. prosecutors have more time to decide whether to retry former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort on 10 criminal charges that a jury deadlocked on last week, a judge ordered on Thursday. U.S. District Judge T. S. Ellis delayed the deadline for Special Counsel Robert Mueller to make the decision until one week after Ellis rules on any post-trial motions that Manafort may submit. The original deadline had been Wednesday, which prosecutors said would be difficult to meet because Manafort's lawyers had requested a 30-day extension to file their post-trial motions.

People are really loving Tess Holliday's Cosmo cover

People are really loving Tess Holliday's Cosmo coverWhile some would argue that we've come a long way when it comes to representation and diversity in the media, it is still not every day you see a size 22 woman on the cover of a major publication.  SEE ALSO: This Instagram poet is making young people feel less alone That's why the October issue of Cosmopolitan UK is already getting a lot of buzz, despite not having hit the stands yet.  The cover girl is supermodel Tess Holliday. Dressed in a swimsuit, Holliday poses on the cover blowing a kiss to all the fat-shamers out there. The headline reads "Tess Holliday wants the haters to kiss her ass." Holliday shared the cover on Twitter with an emotional caption about the lack of representation of plus size women when she was younger. "If I saw a body like mine on this magazine when I was a young girl, it would have changed my life," Holliday writes.   Phew, I'm literally a COSMO GIRL!! Can't believe I'm saying that! ����Thank you @CosmopolitanUK for this incredible opportunity ���� If I saw a body like mine on this magazine when I was a young girl, it would have changed my life �� Issue hits stands 8/31! �������� pic.twitter.com/sBYWY7nEwZ — Tess Holliday �� (@Tess_Holliday) August 29, 2018 A lot of women are echoing this sentiment on social media, wishing that they could show this cover to their younger selves.  Yesssss! If I had seen plus women like me on magazines growing up, it wouldn't have taken 25+ years to love my body. Thank you @Tess_Holliday �� https://t.co/0LBo5i4m7Z — Paige (@LifewithPugs) August 29, 2018 How many young women would have been out enjoying life knowing they're beautiful as they are, rather than crying over why they don't look like they "should", if photos like this were more prevalent? https://t.co/yhvnuWwRFG — Seasonal Thalassophile (@Oddsbodikins7) August 29, 2018 Trying to figure out how different my life and self-image would be if I had grown up seeing women of all sizes represented like this. pic.twitter.com/rvN13dba74 — Sarah Hannon (@hannonksarah) August 29, 2018 hello i am BAWLING at seeing this https://t.co/k9XTr0Y9yD — Zoey Jordan Salsbury (@zoeyjsalsbury) August 29, 2018 Finally, a fat model on the cover of a major magazine who isn't wearing a trenchcoat. @Tess_Holliday looks amazing and this is awesome! https://t.co/doeHIXF9Ib — invisible girl (@kellyrosegreen) August 29, 2018 For some reason I burst into tears when I saw this. Maybe because I used to pore through women's magazines at a teen for HOURS of misery, imagining how much happier I'd be if I looked like them. I just pray this means my daughters won't waste so many formative minutes. https://t.co/pUoSjQaKFF — Sasha Brown-Worsham (@sashabrownworsh) August 29, 2018 I think this is the actual first time I've seen the full body of a fat woman on a magazine cover AND IT IS GOOD https://t.co/dyGyuh7aAS — Lauren Strapagiel �� (@laurenstrapa) August 29, 2018 A reader also shared the subscriber version of the issue, which features another gorgeous shot of Holliday: Got my subscriber copy on Tuesday ������ Love your honesty & for opening up about mental health. Here is your subscriber cover incase you haven't seen it�� pic.twitter.com/AGaHfdJPsZ — Hannah�� (@PipsMiniTwee) August 29, 2018 Holliday also had another thing to say about her Cosmopolitan cover. My Cosmo cover headline should have said "FAT GIRLS HAVE SEX TOO! (& it's bomb)" — Tess Holliday �� (@Tess_Holliday) August 29, 2018 All this just goes to show that we are more than ready for diversity in media. No more excuses, guys.
