Pew sees religious voters' support for 2020 nominees mirroring past elections

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Support for Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden from voters who identify as religious appears to adhere to earlier patterns, a Pew researcher told a Georgetown University panel Sept. 15.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Francis reminded elderly and ill priests that they need not be afraid of suffering because Christ is always there to help them carry that cross. With God's grace, their situation, which was made even more difficult and risky because of the COVID-19 pandemic and strict protocols for containing its spread, can be "an experience of purification," he said.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Euthanasia legislation is headed for the Spanish Senate and, if passed, it would be a defeat for human dignity and would affirm a self-centered view of life that proposes death as a solution to one's problems, the Spanish bishops' conference said.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Francis' encyclical on fraternity and social friendship will be released with an Italian title that will not be translated into different languages, reported Vatican News.

CHICAGO (CNS) -- With the help of Catholic Extension and two other organizations, four Catholic dioceses in Puerto Rico were selected to receive to $82 million in "hazard mitigation funding" from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
