"I believe that the issue of drugs should be fought with prevention. Drug is not lightning in the middle of a dark night, but is caused by family situations of abandonment because of the problems of this society. We Bishops saw that there was no intention of fighting drug trafficking. On the other hand I think that unfortunately the social situation that we are living in the postmodern world, where there is much poverty and a lot of confusion among the youth contributes to this phenomenon. The Church has its faults, too because it was not missionary as the Pope wanted it to be, it did not have a missionary attitude."
