Irresistible force meets immovable object
Church meets state in Guadalajara… photo by S. Nuñez for El Informador. Supporters of Cardinal Sandoval — claiming the Church’s rights of free expression are under assault after the Cardinal was criticized by the Supreme Court for questioning the minister’s integrity — were met by demonstrators who claim their rights of free expression (and association) are under assault by the Cardinal.







These are the times that test our strength of character when the forces of government selectively choose how to oppose the rights of citizens. The Catholic Church has always promoted the importance of individual worth, over the “common good” argument of opressive control of citizens. Individual freedom given by our creator is not subject to some monarchy to agree to let us be free.
