The true story of the Christeros is fascinating, and the heroism of the peasants is breathtaking.

The Masons played a nefarious role in the persecution of the Church (the bombing of the tilma occurred in 1917), and Wilson provided arms to the Mexican government:

John Lind, one of Woodrow Wilson’s advisors,
rejoiced over the news: “Great news! The more priests they kill in
Mexico, the happier I shall be!” An American pastor, indignant about
the outraging of the nuns in Vera Cruz, received this reply from Wilson’s
personal representative: “After prostitution, the worst thing in Mexico
is the Catholic Church. Both must disappear!”13

On May 28, Calles received the Masonic medal of merit
from the hands of the Great Commander of the Scottish rite in Mexico. On
July 12, the following communique appeared in the press: “International
Masonry accepts responsibility for everything that is happening in Mexico,
and is preparing to mobilize all its forces for the methodic, integral
application of the agreed upon program for this country.”18

That would probably have been a surprise to Masons in say Iowa. Lind was a well hated man in the US and his ideological rigidity and ignorance of the local terrain made him in his own way as bad a US representative as Ambassador Wilson, Huerta’s buddy who he replaced.
