MEXICO: Cardinal complains of death threats
The Cardinal Archbishop of Mexico, Norberto Rivera, claimed that he had received death threats on 9 October. Rivera is a highly controversial figure, advocating conservative social and economic policies. In recent months, High Mass in the cathedral has been interrupted by left-wingers and feminists protesting against his, and his church's, stand on abortion, elections and political issues. The Roman Catholic Church, which has only been allowed to comment publicly on political issues since the early 1990s, still has a lot of anti-clerical enemies.
