CWN Editor's Note: A retired Mexican bishop known for his attempts to mediate between drug cartels was abducted on April 27 and then released.
Bishop Salvador Rangel, OFM, 78, retired as bishop of Chilpancingo-Chilapa in 2022.
“Considering his poor health, we call firmly but respectfully to those who are holding Bishop Rangel captive to allow him to take the medications he needs in a proper and timely fashion, as an act of humanity,” the Mexican bishops’ conference stated before his release.
