The PRD's second in command, Secretary General Hortensia Aragón, in response to the Mexican Church's recent outrageous statements, pointed out to Norberto Rivera that his nominal boss, Pope Benedict XVI, on numerous and recent occasions has called for "social peace." This, in contrast to the Mexican branch of the franchise, which loudly declared it would break its "truce" with Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard and the Mexico City legislature. Why don't you listen to your superior, Norberto?
Yet the point is exactly that: Ratzinger, for all his flaws - and there are many - is somewhat of a "centrist," a traditionalist, while the like of Norberto Rivera, like many in the Mexican hierarchy, belongs to the most ultra conservative and virulently demagogic layers of the catholic church. Rivera brings shame upon the many clergymen and women in Mexico whose commitment to social justice and doing good is unquestionably genuine. They deserve a better cardinal than Norberto Rivera.
