Mexico's Catholic Church is being accused of protecting a priest who allegedly sexually abused about 100 children. During a press conference, a letter written by the mother of one victim was read aloud, according to EFE (via Fox News Latino). It was directed to Pope Francis, who is scheduled to visit Mexico in February.
In the letter, the mother asked the
pontiff for justice for the victims in order to assure that "this
doesn't happen again," the news outlet added. The accused is Rev.
Gerardo Silvestre Hernández, whose first sexual abuse allegedly took
place almost a decade ago.
