Ordained a priest in 1946, Bishop Sahagún de la Parra was later appointed bishop of the Diocese of Tula by none other than Pope St. John XXIII He’s the last bishop ordained by the “Good Pope” who is still alive. A witness to the history of the Church, the prelate even attended all the sessions of the Second Vatican Council between 1962 and 1965 Only four of the nearly 2,500 bishops who participated in the last Council are still alive today including — in addition to Bishop Sahagún de la Parra — Archbishop Victorinus Youn Kong-hi and Bishop Daniel Alphonse Omer Verstraete (all emeritus) Bishop Sahagún de la Parra, discreet throughout his episcopal life, worked tirelessly behind the scenes when his newly created Diocese of Tula had few faithful His role in the development of this diocese has earned him the title of “great builder.” current archbishop of Tlalnepantla is a former seminarian of the Diocese of Tula He says that by ordering the construction of churches and structuring a network of parishes Bishop Sahagún de la Parra succeeded in laying a solid foundation for the spiritual and administrative growth of his diocese vocations were born and a major seminary was created to remedy a certain aridity in evangelization Bishop Sahagún de la Parra has also been involved in various social justice projects He  has fostered and financed the construction of small houses so that the poorest inhabitants can live in dignified conditions But what characterizes Bishop Sahagún de la Parra above all is his love for the Eucharist: Every day he celebrates Mass in the nursing home where he lives Faithful to the discretion he has shown throughout his life but “celebrates the Eucharist every day,” as the diocesan sisters of Our Lady of the Angels explained to ACI Prensa “This is one of the reasons he stays strong and joyful,” the sisters added Articles like these are sponsored free for every Catholic through the support of generous readers just like you Please make a tax-deductible donation today Help us continue to bring the Gospel to people everywhere through uplifting Catholic news President Andrés Manuel López Obrador issued a decree on Friday that orders the “immediate temporary occupation” by Pemex of a privately-owned hydrogen plant in Hidalgo refinery complex to French company Air Liquide for US $52.7 million in 2017 On Friday, López Obrador published a decree in the government’s official gazette that declared the supply of hydrogen from the plant a matter of “public interest.” The decree ordered the immediate takeover of the plant by Pemex Transformación Industrial (TRI) the state oil company’s refining arm It didn’t say how long the occupation would last Several Mexican media outlets have reported the takeover as an expropriation The decree cites Mexico’s Expropriation Law which stipulates the conditions under which a “temporary occupation” can occur The decree notes that “all refineries need hydrogen for the production of gasoline and diesel,” adding that “to achieve the federal government’s objective of reaching energy sovereignty … through self-sufficiency in the production of petroleum it’s necessary to have autonomy in hydrogen supply at the Miguel Hidalgo Refinery in Tula The current “dependency on a third party” for hydrogen at the Tula refinery places the production of gasoline and diesel at risk It also says that the “temporary occupation for a reason of public interest … complies with the requirements of the law” given that “it responds to economic and social needs for the benefit of the population.” TRI must compensate Air Liquide in accordance with an appraisal made by the Institute of Administration and Appraisal of National Assets the French company has the option to initiate legal action within 10 business days for “the sole objective of disputing the compensation amount,” the decree says Pemex CEO Octavio Romero said that López Obrador had ordered negotiations to buy back hydrogen plants within the state oil company’s refinery complexes in Tula and Ciudad Madero The plants were privatized during the 2012-18 presidency of Enrique Peña Nieto whose government opened up Mexico’s energy sector to foreign and private companies has long criticized the previous government’s energy reform and implemented policies to favor Pemex and the state-owned Federal Electricity Commission Mexico is currently engaged in a long-running dispute with the United States and Canada over its energy policies and Canadian governments claim that American and Canadian energy companies that operate in Mexico are being treated unfairly by the Mexican government in violation of the USMCA trade pact With reports from Reforma  ADVERTISE WITH MND COMMUNITY GUIDELINES Subscription FAQ's Privacy Policy Mexico News Daily - Property of Tavana LLC Leticia Mera of Tula, Mexico, said she felt her heart stop when she heard the announcement made possible such a huge blessing,” she said The Church first sent missionaries to Mexico in 1875, the year after Daniel W.

In 1959, the then-governor of Tamaulipas Norberto Treviño Zapata, decided that the state needed a distinctive women’s outfit, much like that of the china poblana of Puebla and the huipil of the Yucatán Peninsula She took the basic look of the cuera and adapted it to a tunic-and-skirt set Traditional fringes and vegetation appear on her entry along with the Tamaulipas state seal for good measure It was innovative in part because at that time nobody considered leather suitable for women’s clothing or anything approaching formal wear but they now almost always have a jacket as well as a skirt there are few enterprises in Tamaulipas still making the garments by hand but the best known is the company that Martín started after winning the state contest The business she named after her deceased husband is still around located in the state capital of Ciudad Victoria with a gallery in an old mansion in the center of the city Just about all of Martín’s three generations of descendants are involved in the business in one way or another Anabel Cárdenas Rodríguez and niece Diana Morales Rodríguez the company continues to both preserve tradition and innovate constantly creating new products and new colors but always using the cuera style of decoration The family is in charge of design and quality but much of the work is done under contract by people in Ciudad Victoria and the surrounding area is still extremely important to the identity of people from this state “… Immediately you are recognized as being from Tamaulipas and this gives us much pride because it is a beautiful and elegant outfit It attracts attention and is comfortable to wear at the same time,” says Cárdenas There are garments more than 60 years old that families still carefully treasure Tamaulipas declared the cuera part of the state’s official heritage in 2016 even giving it its own day of celebration on October 20 And the town of Tula takes great pride in being where the garment originated. It is one of the main reasons why this little place between Ciudad Victoria and San Luis Potosí was named a Pueblo Mágico by the federal government Mexican federal authorities have also given examples of these garments as gifts to several recent popes and various European royalty Tula created a four-meter-tall monument to the jacket on a hill Leigh Thelmadatter arrived in Mexico 18 years ago and fell in love with the land and the culture in particular its handcrafts and art.

En 2023, la refinería de Cadereyta ubicada en Nuevo León procesó 118.7 mil barriles diarios de petróleo crudo lo que representó 15 por ciento de la producción del Sistema Nacional de Refinación (SNR) la refinación fue de 75.6 mil barriles diarios ambas refinerías aportaron 25 por ciento del proceso de petróleo crudo durante 2023 Las refinerías de Cadereyta y Ciudad Madero aportan un porcentaje similar respecto a elaboración de productos petrolíferos, como gasolinas magna y diésel. diésel (35.6 mbd) y combustóleo (21.9 mbd) Respecto a la refinería de Madero su mayor producción se concentró en gasolina Pemex Magna (17.1 mbd) diésel (13.7 mbd) y combustóleo (30.7 mbd) aunque también produjo gas seco (6.3 mdb de petróleo crudo equivalente diarios) y coque (5.3 mbd) Sin embargo, estas refinerías son las que aportan la menor cantidad de combustóleo, ya que de los 260 mil barriles diarios del SNR, Cadereyta y Madero solo aportaron 8.4 y 11.8 por ciento del total con el objetivo de proteger la salud de más de 6 millones de personas las refinerías de Cadereyta y Tampico cerrarán definitivamente en los primeros seis meses de su gobierno “A los trabajadores de ambas refinerías les quiero compartir un mensaje de tranquilidad: Ninguno de ustedes va a perder su fuente de empleo Sus derechos laborales no serán afectados por esta decisión” consideró que las refinerías no son negocio ya que cada vez que Pemex refina un barril de petróleo para convertirlo en gasolina Cadereyta perdió 4 mil millones de pesos y Madero 26 mil millones de pesos” Rosanety Barrios, coordinadora de energía del equipo de Xóchitl Gálvez, señaló en entrevista con El Financiero que una de sus prioridades será reconvertir o cerrar las refinerías de Pemex Las noticias más importantes en Finanzas, Economía, Negocios y Política de México Página de FacebookFuente TwitterFuente RSS© Copyright
