Pope Francis is calm but “also suffers” because of claims that he is betraying Church teaching, Archbishop Angelo Becciu has said. Bishop Robert McElroy of San Diego has called Donald Trump’s proposed border wall “ineffective and grotesque”. The Russian Orthodox Church does not “call people to vote for a particular candidate” in this Sunday’s presidential election, Metropolitan Hilarion has said. Christopher Altieri makes “an educated guess” about what happened to Benedict XVI’s letter (Phil Lawler). Cardinal Gerhard Müller identifies “the radical novelty of Christianity”. Coptic Catholic Patriarch Ibrahim Issac Sidrak names the saint who links East and West. And John Anderson pinpoints the problem with CNN’s new Pope series.
