Mexico's bishops called on the country to "work together toward peace" after a massacre on a soccer field in west-central Guanajuato state claimed 11 lives and injured a dozen more.
We demand that it not go unpunished," the Mexican bishops' conference said in a Jan. 26 statement.
The violence in Guanajuato comes as Mexico faces pressure from the Trump administration to crack down on drug cartels.
The Mexican bishops' conference, the Jesuits' Mexico province and the Conference of Religious Superiors of Mexico have promoted a peace-building initiative known as the National Dialogue for Peace.
"We regret and condemn the attempted arson against the Puebla cathedral, in which one of its main doors was damaged," the bishops' conference said in its statement.
