Speaking to the Notimex news agency from Rome, Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iñiguez of Guadalajara (Mexico) said the Holy See continues to be interested in the investigations into the murder of Cardinal Juan Jesus Posadas Ocampo.
Cardinal Sandoval, who was named archbishop of Guadalajara following the death of Cardinal Posadas, said he met with the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, together with the two lawyers who are following the case, Fernando Guzman Perez Pelaez and Jose Antonio Ortega.
“We requested a meeting with Cardinal Bertone to inform him of what we know about the Posadas case. The Holy See has always been kept informed. He welcomed us and showed much interest and reiterated his desire to know the truth,” Cardinal Sandoval told Notimex.
Cardinal Sandoval stressed that the struggle to find the truth has been going on for 13 years, “and the ones who should tell it are the judicial authorities of Mexico. They should tell [the truth] to the Mexican people who anxiously await it.”
