Roswell priest's Clinton remarks prompt diocesan review
Roswell parishioners accuse visiting priest Father John Riley of using Mass to attack Hillary Clinton and push a political agenda. The Las Cruces Diocese has received complaints and is reviewing the matter with Bishop Oscar Cantu. Parishioner Marco Martinez says Riley repeatedly referenced Clinton during an Oct. 16 sermon, suggesting Clinton would destroy the Catholic Church over abortion, while church leaders emphasize the church does not endorse candidates and leaves voting to individuals.

Clinton campaign weighs forcing out Dem chairwoman
WikiLeaks released emails show the Clinton campaign discussed sidelining and possibly removing Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz after internal party tensions. Aimed at strengthening a general election bid, options included neutralizing her or installing a weakened co chair with a separate general election chair. The memo notes poor communication between the chair and executive director and cites ongoing party leadership challenges. Wasserman Schultz announced her resignation ahead of the DNC convention after earlier email hacks.
