Yesterday the Phillies revealed their tribute to Pope Francis - his own rookie baseball card (pictured in the paw of the Phillie Phanatic). The Phillies are on track to lose 100 games this year, but the addition of Pope Francis to the fold can certainly lift spirits around the City of Brotherly Love.

A West Chester drug addict accused of injecting heroin into a kitten was sentenced to time served in jail, parole and community service Tuesday for choking and kicking the animal. Chester County Common Pleas Judge Phyllis Streitel also ordered James P. Myers to complete drug and alcohol evaluations. The judge cited the "sick and disturbing scene" police discovered on Aug. 3, 2014, when an officer found the animal unresponsive with a rope around its neck and head trauma lying next to Myers' car. The car contained dozens of needles, hundreds of empty heroin baggies and a box of cat feces, prosecutors said. Myers was high on heroin.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey says the reported threat against Pope Francis reported by ABC News and the arrest of a 15 year old South Jersey boy was being blown way out of proportion. The 15-year-old from Lindenwold is accused of viewing ISIS propaganda on the Internet, making overseas contacts online, and receiving information on building explosives. The purported plot was more "aspirational" than fully formed or imminent.
