States seized that portion from Mexico in 1846. Histori­ ans often imply, however, that the church really was es­ tablished by non-Hispanic bishops and clergy who came after the conquest. In 1630, 60,000 Pueblo Indi­ ans accepted the Catholic faith in New Mexico. And in Cali­ fornia, Franciscans claimed 54,000 Indian converts during the 65 years their missions were in operation beginning in 1769. It was President James A. Polk who decided to annex California. When Mexico re- fused to sell the land, the Unit- Moises Sandoval states declared war, and took half of Mexico’s territory, including Texas. The an­ nexed territories included some 250,000 Indians and 100,000 persons of partial Hispanic heritage who became U.S. citizens. Anglo Americans refused to accept the Hispanics as equals, however, and between 1865 and 1920, “ more Mexicans were lynched in the Southwest than blacks in the old South,” Sandoval writes. With few exceptions, the clergy sent to shepherd the Indians and Hispancis in New Mexico, Arizona, Colo­ isen rado and Texas were French or Irish. (The first bishops hee- of the dioceses of San Francisco and Los Angeles were S p an ish .) In Texas, the French bishops recruited European re­ ligious orders. Later, the Sisters’ congregations found several native vocations, but Sandoval notes that “the clergy did not find candidates for the priesthood.” “The progress reports tell of the completion o churches, chapels, schools, colleges and hospitals, but not seminaries.” In contrast to the growth of Irish clergy, the number of Hispanic priests steadily declined, Sandoval reports. Hispanic laity had little voice in the church either. “The Hispanic laity, assumed to be inferior to the An­ glo A m ericans and immigrants from Europe, simply retu rn ed to their old ways,” Sandoval writes. “For al­ most 300 years in New Mexico, 200 years in Texas and 100 years in California, they relied, of necessity, on their own religious traditions.” The church “ gave first priority to the Anglo Ameri­ can and to the immigrants from Europe.” Not until the beginning of the 20th century did Hispanics begin to struggle for their rights in society and in the church. When Father Patricio Flores, the nation’s first Mexican-American bishop, was pastor at Houston’s Holy Name Parish in a barrio neighborhood, he was for­ bidden to speak Spanish to his ptuishioners, even though 98 percent of them spoke S panish. Flores, the sixth of nine children of a migrant fami­ ly, knew the sting of poverty and hunger, as well as dis­ crimination. He had to shine the shoes of his classmates at seminary in order to survive financially. It was Flores who became the voice of the voiceless after his consecration as bishop . He served first in El Paso, then became archbishop of San Antonio, but he was a bishop to all Mexican A m ericans. Sandoval traces the development of cursillos, the en- cuentro and charismatic movements, and basic Christian communities, as initiatives that have moved Hispanics forward in the church. By the year 2000 Hispanics are expected to total 25 million, rising to 30 million by 2010. At that time, Hispanics will be the majority of Catholics in the nation, “yet, given current trends, they will be no more visible than they are today,” predicts Sandoval. Sandoval’s b o o k is a must read for anyone concerned about Hispanics.
