The disappearance and subsequent discovery of bishop emeritus of Chilpancingo-Chilapa, Guerrero, Salvador Rangel Mendozahas been taken as a political instrument to hit the catholic church; This was stated during his Sunday homily by the secretary of the Conference of the Mexican Episcopate, CEM, and bishop of Cuernavaca, Ramón Castro Castro.
He pointed out that “interested” people have occupied thousands of “bots” to damage moral authority of the church (catholic); He accused it of being a “bot factory” of “you know who.” He stated that he is taking advantage of this moment to “give everything” so that the church loses its moral authority.
He assured that far from seeking truth and justice they only confuse people, and those who do not love them “give fuel to the fire.”
The bishop said that when someone is accused there must be evidence and in this case “until now there is no reliable evidence.”
On the 29th, the CEM made public the disappearance of Rangel Mendoza, whose whereabouts were unknown two days previously; Given this, he indicated, through a statement signed by Monsignor Ramón Castro Castro, that a complaint had been filed with the State Attorney General’s Office, FGJ Morelos.
In the afternoon of that same day, the head of the FGJ Morelos, Uriel Carmona Gándara, reported the discovery of the religious man alive; He was in the emergency area of the “José G. Parres” General Hospital of Cuernavaca; He commented that the first indications suggested that he had been the victim of an express kidnapping.
The Morelos Health Secretariat, once the person was identified, reported that his admission was recorded on April 28 and that he was treated immediately and in a timely manner by the hospital staff.
During the course of last week, both the acting Secretary of Government of the head of the Executive Branch, Samuel Sotelo Salgado, and the head of the Public Security Commission, CES Morelos, retired admiral José Antonio Ortiz Guarneros, made public evidence that They are part of the investigation folder into the temporary disappearance of the religious leader from Guerrero, which has called into question his moral quality and has violated the secrecy of the investigation.
Samuel Sotelo assured that there were video recordings that show that he “withdrew” money on two occasions from ATMs but it could not be proven that he had been forced; The sailor José Antonio Ortiz Guarneros revealed that he had provided evidence to the Prosecutor’s Office that demonstrated that the bishop emeritus entered a hotel accompanied by a person of the same sex who later left.
Both the admission report signed by the social worker on duty and the discharge medical report when he was discharged from the public hospital have been leaked to the media; In both, information is revealed that has questioned the actions and conduct of the bishop emeritus.
Through a recorded video message, Ramón Castro Castro, indicated that the Catholic Church “deplored the use of prejudices and disqualifications expressed in social media, which only contribute to weakening the environment in which Mexican society is immersed, wounded by the extreme polarization that does not contribute to enforcing the highest principles of coexistence that all Mexicans desire.” ”.
As of this Sunday afternoon, it is unknown if the bishop emeritus has testified before the ministerial authority.
Rafael Rangel Mendoza resides in Morelos since his retirement, However, he has been a negotiator with leaders of criminal groups that operate in different areas of Guerrero to pacify that entity.
