Mexico Most Dangerous Country in World for Priests
California Catholic Daily ^ | 10/5/22

Cartels mutilate, cut throats, torture, off fingers

Attacks against priests in Mexico have risen to an unbearable level. Organized criminals have turned to hunting down and maiming parish clergy to rise up the ranks of drug cartels and shut out the pastoral work they do in their communities.

At least 70 priests have been killed — officially recognized — in recent decades, which makes Mexico the most dangerous country in the world to be a priest. The Centro Católico Multimedial keeps track of murdered priests (diocesan and religious) from 1990 to this year.

In addition to murders, desecrations of temples have also increased. Satanism has grown exponentially within the drug gangs, which adds even more savagery, if possible, to their criminal acts.

Fr. Omar Otero describes the situation to Publimetro :

«They desecrate the temples and the sacred hosts, they have violated bishops, cardinals, clerics and even altar boys. No one is safe from violence. If they were stabbed five times before, now they do it 20 times and with narco-satanic messages. In some cases they have even thrown the bodies of the parents in the curve of the devil»"

The assassins of various drug cartels mutilate, cut throats, torture and cut off entire parts, such as the fingers of the priests who use them to trace a cross and bless their parishioners. This is a message against those who maintain strong activism in their communities.

Anyone who ever watched the old spaghetti westerns knew that. Fist full of dollars. A few dollars more. Yep...being a priest in Mexico isn’t a great occupation if your looking for a long life span.

It’s the most dangerous country in the world for lots of things…. except Central Americans passing through to the USA (ok, dangerous for the women who are sexual assaulted by the sexual sadist traffickers)
