Diario Libre reports that Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez asked hundreds of children from several private schools who were attending the Mass celebrating the rights of Children for forgiveness for the abuses by Catholic priests who abused children all over the world. "We ask for forgiveness for the priests who have abused the children", said Lopez Rodriguez, during his sermon during the Eucharistic celebration.
However, after the mass, and talking about the violence that is so pervasive in the DR, the religious leader maintained his tough stance on crime, saying that where "drug trafficking becomes serious, these people do not believe in anything", and he added, "a policeman cannot throw flowers at someone who has come to kill him, being honest, we are faced with a reality where it is not easy to make a balanced judgment, the criminals do not understand the soft touch".
