Earlier this week a man fleeing at least one gunman tried to hide in a Mexican church. The assassins followed him inside and in the frenzy that followed two Jesuit priests were murdered as they tried to protect him.
The gunmen removed the bodies of all three of their victims from the church in Cerocahui, Chihuahua state, and took them away.
But the Society of Jesus was quickly alerted to the murders of Fathers Javier Campos Morales and Joaquín César Mora Salazar, who had served as Jesuit priests for nearly a century combined, and they immediately asked for police protection for other priests in the district.
