I'm not going to debate what constitutes a "devout follower of the faith" but money ties between the cartels and church have been noted for some time.
While officially, the Catholic Church condemns the drug trade and the overwhelming violence being perpetrated by the cartels, it is no secret that priests throughout Mexico have taken large sums of money from the drug traffickers to fund church projects and in one case, to even construct an entirely new cathedral.
In the past, many Mexican journalists have harshly criticized priests for accepting narcolimosnas, or drug-tithes, from cartel leaders.
In 2009, one Mexican bishop publicly defended his right to take the donations and even praised the cartels for their generosity.

Our Govt does same thing so I cant fault the Church.
I regret my own contribution to the anti-Catholic douchebaggery around here. I'm in one guy's sig line for something I meant to be taken with a freight train full of salt. Maybe he does too. Who knows? Every time I see his posts, I cringe because there I am in the sig line. Maybe I should reevaluate the way that I've been doing things.ISIS attacks my country, I'm ready to fight. ISIS goes after the Pope, I don the Red Cross of St. George, strap on my sword and join the crusade!
