Mexican Bishops’ Peace Appeal: Apostasy in the Face of Chaos
The cited article from VaticanNews reports on a statement from the Mexican Episcopal Conference, signed by Bishop Ramón Castro Castro and Bishop Héctor M. Pérez Villarreal, following the reported death of drug lord “El Mencho” and ensuing cartel violence. The bishops call for “prudence and prayer,” intensified prayers for peace, entrustment to Our Lady of Guadalupe as “Queen of Peace,” and adherence to civil authorities. This appeal, framed by a quote from John 14:27, presents a superficial pastoral response that is, in reality, a profound theological failure and a symptom of the systematic apostasy of the post-conciliar hierarchy.
