Mexico is supposed to be so “Catholic”
Apparently there was a time that it wasnt...

Americans don’t know their own history, let alone Mexico’s ... and vice versa.

Oddly enough it’s at least slightly familiar to many in Britain, simply because of Grahame Greene’s “The Power and the Glory”.

I have read that all of the PRI party (the party which every Mexican president belonged to until Vicente Fox was elected)were Free Masons. General Santa Ana was a free mason who escaped death when he was captured at San Jacinto by giving the secret masonic hand shake to Sam Houston. Anti-catholicism goes way back in Mexico.

Everyone should read “Robbery Under Law” by Evelyn Waugh about Mx in the Thirties.

The populist revolutionaries were pushed aside by the true marxists and the result was fanatical repression for a time.
The thirties in Mexico were ugly.
The total death toll in Mexico’s revolution was in the millions, and out of it came dictatorship for a time, and more killing. A lot of the revolutionary leaders were thugs who were busy killing each other when they weren’t going after priests.
All that softened over time, but Mexico is always something other than what meets the eye. Its a fascinating place, but spooky.

Anti-Catholicism was written into law about 30 years before, just not enforced. Then came the Revolution that wasn’t. Thousands and thousands of people died and all for nothing things got much worse.

For those who who desire to remedy their ignorance on these recent events in Mexico, I highly recommend Graham Greene’s novel “The Power and The Glory”
For those who don’t read there is a well known movie from the 50’s loosely based on the life of the martyr, Miguel Pro which is the basis for Greene’s famous novel.
