Mexican Catholic Church: Mexicans can't feel safe anywhere 
Associated Press

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's Roman Catholic Church said in an editorial that Mexicans can't feel safe anywhere, as homicides rise throughout the country.

The statement Sunday by the Mexican Council of Bishops came on the same day that the bodies of two men and a woman were left at the entrance to a once-quiet, exclusive beach resort.

"This is not a single corner of this country where Mexicans can feel safe and live in peace," The bishops' council wrote in an editorial.
