### Catholic Church Calls for Reconciliation with President-Elect Sheinbaum
On August 18, 2024, the Archdiocese of Mexico, via its weekly publication “Desde la fe,” urged the newly elected President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo to prioritize national reconciliation. The Archdiocese, led by Cardinal Carlos Aguiar Retes, issued a public appeal advocating for collective efforts toward unity and healing.
“In the midst of this transitional phase, and with just a few weeks before President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum assumes office, we call on our country to work together for reconciliation,” the statement read.
The Archdiocese emphasized that true reconciliation goes beyond superficial peace or coerced unity, noting that any process grounded in selfish interests is likely to falter. “Real reconciliation isn’t about imposing agreement or viewing others through the lens of ‘us versus them.’ It’s about learning to walk together, acknowledging the pain and injustices of the past, and working towards a shared future.”
The religious leaders highlighted the need for societal and political collaboration in addressing conflicts and fostering national solidarity. They stressed the importance of various social spheres—families, friends, and workplaces—in this process, aiming to create a ripple effect that could unify millions.
“To our new president, her team, and all incoming public officials, we urge you to lead the way in building a robust framework for reconciliation during this transition period. This effort will pave the way for social peace and harmony,” they added.
Additionally, the Archdiocese aligned with initiatives by the Mexican Episcopal Conference and Pope Francis, advocating for the spirit of reconciliation modeled by Jesus. “We ask God to help build a renewed and strengthened nation through reconciliation,” the statement concluded.
