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 a church spokesman today announced a campaign to change the law -- saying it's too restrictive.
Politicians had raised a complaint saying the church's vocal campaign to defeat a proposal to legalize abortions in Mexico City in April stepped over the line.
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.
Armando Martinez with Mexico's Catholic Lawyers College says the church asked his group to draw up a proposal to change the laws and allow the church to participate fully in public debate.
