| Pope denounces clergy who criticized slain Salvadoran bishop Romero | | Saturday, October 31, 2015 2:50 AM | |
|  By Philip Pullella VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis on Friday criticised conservative clergy and bishops who he said had defamed slain Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero even after he was killed by a right-wing death squad in 1980. Francis said Romero, who was shot while saying Mass in a hospital chapel, had been lapidated even after his death by "the hardest stone that exists in the world: the tongue." Romero, whose defence of the poor made him an icon for many Roman Catholics in Latin America, was beatified as a martyr for the faith. Francis, the first Latin American pope, unblocked Romero's sainthood process shortly after his election in March 2013.

|  By Julia Edwards and Jonathan Allen WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The White House will not allow the immediate release of emails exchanged between President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton from when she was secretary of state, a senior administration official said on Friday. The emails may be withheld until after Obama leaves office under the Presidential Records Act, according to the White House, a law that governs public access to the president's records. The White House said Obama and Clinton, who is now running as a Democrat to succeed him in office in 2017, exchanged emails "on occasion." A federal judge has ordered the State Department to publicly release all of Clinton's emails from her four years as the nation's top diplomat between 2009 and 2013 after a Vice News reporter sued the department under freedom of information laws.
