Mexico City, Mexico, Jun 11, 2012 / 12:54 pm
The Archdiocese of Mexico City has denounced a group of "professional activists" linked to the Democratic Revolution Party for profaning a June 7 Corpus Christi procession in Zocalo plaza.
The activists "profaned an act of worship by shouting insults as the Blessed Sacrament passed by," the archdiocese said in a statement released through its news service.
The Mexico City archdiocese said it was saddened by "this aggression against the faith of the Catholic people."
These types of incidents show that "the freedom of expression of Catholics is not guaranteed in the self-described 'City of Freedoms,'" the archdiocese said.
