This will be the second time that the applicant will meet with the Catholic clergy, since last March 11 at the Tlatelolco University Cultural Center the three signed the Commitment for Peace, although Sheinbaum did so expressing his disagreement with some of the aspects of the religious evaluation of the reality of the country.
