It is only fair to point out that during much of this period the Mexican Government was being opposed by terrorists who claimed to be fighting for Christo Rey. They killed hundreds of policemen, teachers, officials and others they saw as supporting what they saw as an ungodly regime.
I'm neutral on this one, but the article as written implies that there was absolutely no reason for the regime's action other than a desire to punish faith in God.
BTW, shortly after this event, the elected President, Obregon, really was assassinated by a man who claimed he did it for Christ the King.
What are your sources? The article is about what happens to Catholic priests who try to minister to their people.Did you know that priests and religious were not even allowed to wear their religious cloths?It may have changed since then but I don't think so.
