Pope Francis, the chill pontiff celebrated for his interest in helping the poor and not fucking up the Earth, put the "Pope" back in "Cool Pope" on Wednesday, endorsing a referendum in Slovakia that would ban same-sex couples from marrying or adopting children.

On Monday, the United States transferred the three remaining Uighur detainees at Guantanamo Bay to Slovakia. The transfer comes five years after a judge ordered that the three men be released and 10 years after the military determined the Uighurs were "not affiliated with Al Qaeda or a Taliban leader."
