Overview
- The Archdiocese of Mexico used its weekly Desde la Fe editorial to ask whether Mexican society is willing to receive the Pope’s message of peace, justice and conversion.
- Church leaders stressed that the country needs a spiritual embrace in a context of violence, polarization and social suffering, describing the Pope as a much-needed messenger of peace.
- The piece recalls Pope León XIV’s recent address to the diplomatic corps at the Holy See, highlighting calls to build peace, end wars and persecutions, defend life and treat migrants as persons.
- It poses pointed questions to baptized Catholics about involvement in disappearances, killings, abortion advocacy, corruption and fomenting hatred, urging a change of heart shown through actions now.
- While noting the Pope has expressed hope to visit Mexico and entrust his pontificate to Our Lady of Guadalupe as the 500-year anniversaries approach, the editorial underscores that no visit is confirmed.
