The Catholic Church in Mexico denounced the growing indifference of society towards violence and the disappearance of people. In an editorial titled "The Disappeared Listening" in the weekly Desde la fe, the Primatial Archdiocese of Mexico highlighted the urgency of recovering the listening to support those struggling to find their loved ones or who have been victims of atrocities.
According to the Church, the saturation of violent events has generated an insensitive society towards the suffering of victims and their families. Emblematic cases were mentioned, such as the 43 students of Ayotzinapa and the victims of San Fernando, noting that mass disappearances have marked Mexico in recent decades.
The editorial called on society to commit to the families affected by violence and to collectively address the causes of the problem, avoiding partisan divisions and polarizing discourse. The importance of examining individual actions was emphasized without politicizing or adding more noise to an already scandalous situation.
The Church urged to follow the example of the searching mothers and families, promoting neglected family values that contribute to the weakening of the social fabric. It was highlighted that indifference represents a threat to humanity by allowing the problem to persist.
Furthermore, the fundamental role of searching mothers and their families was recognized, who, despite the pain, have demonstrated love, strength, and resilience. In the midst of adversity, these families represent the hope of the world according to the publication of the Catholic Church.
