show more- Historical Context: Mexico has a long history of Catholicism, dating back to the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. The Church has played a significant role in shaping Mexican culture and society.
- Violence and Cartels: Mexico has been plagued by violence related to drug cartels for decades. The cartels engage in drug trafficking, extortion, and other criminal activities, leading to widespread violence and instability.
- Church's Response: The Catholic Church, through its bishops and clergy, has often condemned the violence perpetrated by the cartels and called for peace and reconciliation. They have also advocated for addressing the root causes of the conflict, such as poverty and social inequality.

- Challenges and Criticisms: Brokering peace with the cartels is a complex and controversial endeavor. Critics argue that it legitimizes criminal organizations and undermines the rule of law. There are also concerns about the safety of clergy involved in such negotiations.
- Government Response: The Mexican government has been cautious in its approach to peace negotiations with the cartels.
