Riot at the Cathedral

 

I hope you weren't planning on attending Mass at the cathedral in Mexico City...because you can't.

It seems that Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who lost the Presidential election back in 2006, doesn't believe he really lost and is calling himself the "legitimate president" of Mexico. He's kind of like a Spanish-speaking Al Gore.

Anyway, Mr. Obrador was giving a speech in the plaza outside the cathedral when the church's bells began to ring, drowning him out. His supporters took offense and ran inside the cathedral during last Sunday's mass, chanting and turning over pews.

A spokesman for the diocese has said masses will not resume until local and federal police can guarantee security.
