Mexico's bishops demand peace after a fatal attack on young people

San José de Mendoza, Mexiko - not to be grasped! Mexico's bishops are shaken by the terrible massacre of eight young people of a Catholic youth group in the state of Guanajuato. As kathpress.at , the youngsters were brutally murdered during an attack on the parish center of San José de Mendoza on Sunday evening. The perpetrators who fled with vehicles have not yet had to be held accountable for their cruel deeds. In a passionate explanation, Bishop Ramón Castro from the Mexican Bishops' Conference (CEM) demanded that those responsible be caught and finally peace in the country plagued by violence.

The bishops expressed their anger about the ever increasing crime and the culture of impunity that Mexico has shaped for years. According to the church representatives, this reality, described as "cancer for our society", violates the heart of all Mexicans and shakes the communities. "Nobody can differentiate themselves from her," is the clear message to the population, which is called to take responsibility for a more peaceful Mexico.
