Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter (peer-reviewed) › peer-review

Abstract

The priest in Lázaro Cárdenas who dismissed the idea of encouraging victims of violence to file police reports (chapter 4) went on to explain that victims tended to come instead to their parish priests. More visited their priests to share experiences of violence than to confess, he added. Other priests gave similar accounts.

Those reports filtered up through the hierarchy of the Catholic Church starting from around 2005, prompting anguished debates among clergy and lay leaders about how to respond to the violence.
