Mexico Catholics Pray Amid Priest Shortage and Insurgent Turmoil
In Mexico City and Jalisco, Holy Week unfolds amid government raids on Catholics and a priestless church. Police arrested 58 Catholics for anti-government activities as priests remain withdrawn under 1926 religious laws. Government reports claim insurgent activity in Jalisco is waning, with 12,000 families displaced and convoys restraining rebels. Meanwhile, Holy Week rites proceed with lay services, carnivals, and public celebrations across the capital despite the deadlock between church and state.
