Responding to statements about the family by candidates of the upcoming elections, the Archbishop of Guadalajara, Cardinal Juan Sandoval Íñiguez, said the family is under attack both in Mexico and throughout the world by sectors that are undeterred by the disintegration of many homes.
 
The cardinal called the statements of some of the candidates, who said they would uphold the law, “vain answers” and that they failed to recognize that they are the ones responsible for creating laws.
 
After having met recently with two of the presidential candidates, Cardinal Íñiguez said he would consider meeting with a third candidate, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, of the PRD party, during his upcoming visit to Guadalajara.
