	Zero Tolerance for Pederast Priests, Emphasizes Puebla’s Archbishop Victor Sanchez Periodico Digital February 16, 2009 http://www.bishop-accountability.org/AbuseTrackerArchive/2009/02/#018302 At the end of the Eucharist celebration at the Basilica of Guadalupe, a press conference took place at the basement of this ecclesiastic precinct with Puebla’s elected archbishop Victor Sanchez Espinoza. The archbishop made clear that "there will be zero tolerance" for any pederasty case in which priests are involved. "Priests know how I think, there will be zero tolerance; they know what it means and how I am going to act". He reminded us that, during his time as general and Episcopal vicar at the VII Vicariate of Mexico’s Archdiocese, which contains areas such as Iztapalapa, there were five pederasty cases. “In these cases, if the pederasty case is confirmed, it goes directly to ecclesiastic court. In my area alone, I suspended five priests in five years; five pederasty cases were detected”.
