Shibaam City A Desert Skyscraper Oasis
In the Hadhramaut valley an ancient desert city, Shibaam, rises with sun dried brick towers hundreds of feet high. Built by Arab laborers since 692 AD, its mud streets run between towering homes linked by sky bridges, while women are barred from leaving their houses or receiving education.

New Catholic Dogma Reshapes Mixed Marriages Across Faiths
Pope Paul VI's instruction Ma trimonii Sacramentum lifts excommunication for Catholics who marry outside the Church and allows mixed marriages to include Mass and blessings. Clergy from other faiths may preach, and relatives may pray together. The change centers on spouses raising Catholic children and regularizing illicit marriages through confession and reconciliation.
