I don't have much sympathy for the prots. Mexico is a Catholic country. Let them go off and evangelize Saudi Arabia!


VIVA CRISTO REY!

VIVA LA VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE!

VIVA SAN JOSE!

For the discussion. I would love to see a critique of these two Wikipedia articles:

Persecution of Christians

Persecution by Christians

And this is a table from Power Kills. The researcher includes deaths due to religion under "genocide".

Chiapas is a mess. I suspect the various parties have been feuding over one pretext or another for 100 years.

This year, it's "Catholic" vs. "Evangelical." I'll bet the Mexican government and the Chiapas "revolutionaries" love it -- keeps the people distracted from the both sides are bleeding them dry.

**Evangelical Christians are increasingly attacked by “traditional Catholics” in a southern Mexican state, according to a persecution watchdog group. **

And how many of us Catholics have been harrassed and persecuted, so to say, in the United States? Or even here on FR?

I'm glad that they put "traditional Catholics" in quotation marks. Whatever they are, they are evidently so "traditional" and so "Catholic" that they can't be bothered to be in obedience to the local bishop.

Many of the conflicts arise from community leaders demanding evangelicals pay quotas for Catholic festivals... involving drunkenness and immoral behavior.

Just like those party pooper Evangelicals.
