Bishop David Zubik has received an increasing number of messages from messages from Catholics who want him to endorse one or the other presidential candidate.

“While I urge all the faithful of our diocese, both the laity and the clergy, to help build a better society by exercising their right to vote, it is not my role nor can it ever be for me to tell anyone for whom to vote.  As Church, we must be about addressing issues grounded on our faith and tradition,” Bishop Zubik said.

Founded in 1844 by the first bishop of Pittsburgh, The Pittsburgh Catholic was published until the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020. It was the oldest Catholic newspaper in continuous publication in the United States. The news operation resumed, online only, in September 2020.

The Pittsburgh Catholic is the official news source of the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh, and serves as a valuable resource for the history of this region.
