MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexico's Roman Catholic Church has been cleared of accusations that its opposition to abortion violated a law banning priests from mixing in politics, but the church said Monday it will mount a campaign to change the law it believes is too restrictive.
The church's vocal campaign to defeat a proposal to legalize abortions in Mexico City in April stepped over the line when some prelates suggested voters should remember who backed the law at election time, politicians said in a complaint. The law passed anyway.
On Saturday, the government dismissed the complaint, saying the church had done nothing wrong. But prelates say they are tired of being challenged over their every word.
