During his homily on the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera of Mexico City called for the defense of life from conception to natural death and for support for women, as the country prepares for local and national elections on July 5.
During his remarks, the cardinal explained that the Church "ought to follow her best traditions of healthy feminism. We must esteem and defend total equality between man and woman on a personal level and in the area of human rights. But we must also affirm their diversity, not as something contradictory or juxtaposed, but as complementary."
