Regarding: "During his 22 years as head of one of the world's most populous dioceses, Rivera has fended off accusations of inaction on cases of clerical sexual abuse and, for years, defended Fr. Marcial Maciel Degollado, founder of the Legionaries of Christ, who later was found to have abused seminarians and fathered children."
- Every diocese that has, from Mexico, received a seminarian, or who has incarnated a presbyter, or has allowed a consecrated religious to  reside in the diocese should, forthwith, re-examine all documentation about these men or women (consecrated religious) from Mexico.
- USA dioceses must insist that the Mexican diocese of origin provide validation from an established and bonifide Mexican law firm that the individuals are not fleeing accusations of the rape of children or the molestation of young people in Mexico. 
- That the dioceses in Mexico have been egregiously frivolous about the rape of children and molestation of young people is well established.
