Catholic Missionaries, Priests Murdered in Mexico

02-600The bodies of four young Catholic missionaries have been found in Mexico. They were half-naked, obviously tortured, wrapped in plastic bags, and left on the side of the road. The men were all members of a missionary group called “Rainbow.” The murders follow the killing of three Mexican priests in late September. Authorities believe drug gangs are responsible. At least 15 Catholic priests have been killed in Mexico in the last four years.
