Brazil's electoral court trims the gag order on patron saint posts

The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) on Sep. 30 upheld an order removing social media posts that link Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the Liberal Party's presidential candidate, to a plan to strip Our Lady of Aparecida of her title as Brazil's patron saint. All seven justices backed the ban. But the version that emerged from a 14-hour virtual session is narrower than the one Justice André Mendonça, the court's deputy chief justice, signed on Sep. 25.
