Mexico City Archbishop Cancels Weekly PressConferences

The cardinal archbishop of Mexico City has indefinitely postponed his weekly meetings with the press, usually held following Sunday Mass at the Metropolitan Cathedral, after he rebuked members of the news media for what the archbishop says is a deliberate and unjustified campaign to defame him.

“There are people out there who kill the good name and dignity of other persons,” Cardinal Norberto Rivera told 1,500 inmates during a Dec. 18 visit to Mexico City’s main female penitentiary. He called such persons “male and female communication prostitutes.”

“There are people outside who say, ‘I’m not a sinner,’ ‘I don’t kill,’ ‘I don’t steal’ -- but ah, how many other worse things they do,” Cardinal Rivera told the inmates. “They don’t kill the body, but they are like snakes that kill the good name of others. And they don’t care if their victims are innocent. They judge, they sentence and they condemn without any consideration but their own political benefit. For them, there is no justice other than what they themselves dictate.”

The real world of the lame stream media.
