MEXICO CITY - The Roman Catholic diocese where two priests were killed earlier this month has withdrawn all nuns from the hyper-violent city of Chilapa in southern Mexico.
The diocese said in a statement that the parents of one of the nuns had been killed and that their school had to close for several months last year due to threats from drug gangs operating in the area.
The nuns ran one of the oldest and most respected schools in Chilapa. The Church did not specify how many nuns were involved, but local media said there were four. Local media also reported the nun’s parents had been hacked up.
The diocese openly called on the gangs not to hurt children’s education and said it hoped others can be found to run the school.
“We call on the criminal gangs not to affect or destroy one of the sacred things we have: The education of our children and youths,” the diocese said, noting that if the school closed permanently, many would be left without quality education.
Two priests were shot to death and four other people were wounded Feb. 5 when gunmen attacked their truck as they returned home from a concert in another town in the diocese.
