Brazil's patron saint becomes an election issue and court fight
Original: Brazil’s patron saint becomes an election issue and a court dispute
Our Lady of Aparecida, Brazil's patron saint, has moved from religious devotion into politics, with her image drawn into the country's electoral debate and a legal dispute now before the courts. The row adds faith and national symbolism to an already charged election season, and observers are watching how courts handle the clash between religion and campaign politics.
Why now: A religious national symbol being pulled into electoral politics and litigation is unusual and politically charged.
