— -- 1. Chris Christie Urges Focus on Mental Health After Oregon Mass Shooting

New Jersey Governor and 2016 presidential candidate Chris Christie weighed in on the recent mass shooting in Roseburg, Oregon, saying that America should get "tougher" on mental health issues.

"I'm very concerned about the mental health side of this," Christie told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos Sunday on "This Week." Christie advocates making involuntary commitment easier for doctors to enforce if they fear a mentally ill patient could become violent.

"We don't want to involuntarily commit them, to put them away," he said. "We want to protect others and get them the help they need."

Yayo Grassi, a gay man and former student of Pope Francis who met with the pope in Washington D.C., said Francis "is not afraid to have a gay friend."

"Me being gay is no different [to the pope] than me having blue eyes," Grassi told ABC News today. "It's not different than me living in Washington. It is part of my life. And the way he accepted my boyfriend, it is a validation of how happy he is that two people of the same sex can be together and happy and miss each other when we are not close to each other."

Grassi brought his boyfriend of 19 years, Iwan Bagus, to the private meeting with Francis at the Papal Nunciature in Washington, D.C., on September 23.

No amount of rainfall or flooding in Charleston, South Carolina, could dampen the wedding plans of a Kansas City couple this weekend.

Britney Mysinger and Jason Houdek had organized a Saturday wedding in Charleston, but as this week's major storm hit, they thought their plans were thwarted, according to ABC affiliate WCIV-TV. Police closed off access to the Charleston peninsula, forcing the officiant, photographers and make-up artists to back out.

Even the groomsmen were stranded on the Isle of Palms, miles from downtown Charleston, WCIV-TV said.

The bride and groom turned to the news station for help.
