Pope Francis separately received Mexico's presidential candidates from the ruling party and the opposition at the Vatican. “It was an exceptional hour that I will never forget, with a simple and warm way that shows its greatness,” declared Sheinbaum, the Morena candidate.
The opposition Gálvez said that Francisco asked her “not to be carried away by the song of the sirens.” Mexico is a predominantly Catholic country where the positions of the Mexican Episcopate Conference have generated controversy.
