Church officials are pleading for the life of a priest who was kidnapped from his parish residence just one day after two other priests were abducted and killed in another part of Mexico.
The Archdiocese of Morelia said priest Jose Alfredo Lopez Guillen was abducted on Monday from his parish residence in the rural town of Janamuato, in the western state of Michoacan.
The archdiocese said he was kidnapped after he was robbed.
"We plead that the life and physical integrity of the priest be respected," the archdiocese said.
