A Roman Catholic priest has actually been killed in the western Mexican state of Michoacan, the ninth killed throughout the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador
MEXICO CITY — A Roman Catholic priest has actually been killed in the western Mexican state of Michoacan, the ninth killed throughout the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
The church’s Catholic Multimedia Center determined the priest as Rev. Javier García Villafaña, who had actually been designated to the Capacho parish in Huandacareo simply one month previously.
The killing came one day after the Mexican Episcopal Conference revealed its uniformity and condemnation of an attack versus Monsignor Faustino Armendáriz Jiménez, archbishop of the northern state of Durango.
On Sunday, an elderly man attempted to stab Armendáriz in Durango’s cathedral. The archbishop left unimpaired.
The conference verified García’s murder and said it was preparing to launch a declaration.
The Catholic Multimedia Center said in the declaration that García was shot while driving near Capacho on the coasts of Cuitzeo lake.
