About this sermon
Four Catholic bishops recently met with drug cartel leaders in Mexico, seeking an end to a recent spike of violence. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador says he supports the meetings. He added that faith leaders can play an important role in bringing peace. One priest from Mexico blamed the government for the violence, saying the negotiations with drug leaders would not be necessary if the lawmakers were doing their jobs. President of the Global Liberty Alliance and expert on Latin American political affairs, Jason Poblete, joins to share the threat the Mexican cartels have posed for the Catholic Church and believers up to this point. He explains what this situation says about the ineffectiveness of the Mexican government to control the cartels, that the Catholic Church has to negotiate directly with the criminals. This is being labeled as a potential "peace accord." Poblete discusses what that might look like and what the Church will have to give up in order to ensure so-called peace for itself. He fills us in on whether he thinks this is a good thing or a bad thing moving forward and whether he thinks this gives the cartel another sense of legitimacy by negotiations with the Church. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
