A priest who was abducted in Mexico has been found alive after three days, but "with notable signs of torture," the Catholic Church said Sunday.
Fr Jose Luis Sanchez Ruiz was the third priest abducted in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz since September. The other two were found shot dead a few days after they were kidnapped.
Although Sanchez Ruiz was spared that fate, his abduction brought new attention to attacks on priests in Mexico, which also saw another priest killed in the western state of Michoacan in September.
