President of Mexico’s socialist Social Democratic Party (PSD), Jorge Carlos Diaz, has issued a demand that the Church stop opposing its initiatives or face legal action. Mexico City’s Cardinal Archbishop Norberto Rivera has criticized elements of the PSD’s program to legalize abortion, euthanasia and same sex marriage.
“Abortion, euthanasia and marriage are political issues,” Carlos Diaz insisted. “The church must stop interfering. Ignorant peasants think that these priests speak for God. Well, there is no God. Rivera is lying to the people and confusing voters. He is sabotaging our right to craft the Party’s message as we see fit.”
The threatened legal action is to call upon the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) to impose a gag order against statements from the church that contradict the PSD’s program. The Mexican constitution has anti-clerical clauses that prohibit the clergy from participating in politics.
“Social justice requires that priests cooperate with the government, not promote out-dated superstitions” Carlos Diaz proclaimed. “Implementing this policy will be a high priority when we are in charge.”

So, you’d better shut up if you have matters of conscience.
How Stalinesque.
Carlos Diaz is nothing but communist filth, socialist trash, a murderous pig.
If he doesn’t believe in God, then how can anybody trust what he says? How can he even believe that the thoughts of his mind are logical or ordered, if there is no Logic or Order?
What an idiot.
This one will be 50 to 1 on the “aha!” scale.
What’s the big deal, one way or the other? The population of Mexico won’t be in Mexico anyway if the drug cartels keep executing anyone they can. And the ones that excape...they’ll all be here!
Coming to Amerika!
Soon to be heard here.........
I thought you used to write satire...So, you’re moving to hard news now, huh?
What Mexico doesn't have a lot of yet are Protestants and Pentecostals so any time one of these Leftwingtard anti-God pukes wants to sound nasty and authoritative to his following he attacks the Catholic Church.
That's their system. It's stupid, I know, but no one ever said Mexicans were real bright when it came to civil rights.
It's gotta' be the water ~ they can't all be dopers.
