There is a long history of anti-clericism and anti-Catholicism in Mexico dating back to the 1880s. In the 1920s it was illegal to say Mass. So lets not be blaming the Catholics for this one.

Particularly since (for it's worth, being wikipedia and all),

"Wixaritari are relatively well-known among anthropologists for their long tradition of rejecting Catholic influences and continuing traditional Shamanistic practices.[33] Indeed, Wixaritari, along with the Lacandons and other ethnic minorities in the country, have fought for their religious and cultural freedom since the arrival of the Spanish conquerors.[34][35][36]" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huichol_people#Current_issues

Threats of expulsion have been ongoing since December 6 last year when a resolution was adopted by the village assembly saying that the Protestant members of the community would be expelled if they refused to convert to Roman Catholicism, described as "the traditional faith", Christians said.

So past history makes this OK? It's the Catholics who are kicking these people out, not the government.

They are being booted by Catholics because they are not Catholic.

“So lets not be blaming the Catholics for this one”?
