Background Information The Cristero War or Cristero Rebellion (1926–1929), otherwise called La Cristiada, was a battle in many western Mexican states against the secularist, hostile to Catholic, and anticlerical strategies of the Mexican government. The defiance was set off by order under President Plutarco Elías Calles of a statute to authorize the anticlerical articles of the Mexican Constitution of 1917 (otherwise called the Calles Law). Calles tried to wipe out the force of the Catholic Church and associations subsidiary with it as an organization, furthermore smothering well known religious festivals. The gigantic prominent provincial uprising was implicitly upheld by the Church progressive system and was helped by urban Catholic backing. US Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow expedited transactions between the Calles government and the Church. The administration made a few concessions; the Church pulled back its support for the Cristero contenders and the contention finished in 1929. It can be seen as a noteworthy occasion in the battle among Church and State going back to the nineteenth century with the War of Reform, however, it can likewise be translated as the last real laborer uprising in Mexico taking after the end of the military period of the Mexican Revolution in 1920.

Articles The Movement that Sinned Twice: The Cristero War and Mexican Collective Memory By Consuelo S. Moreno Abstract: Many scattered occurrences in Mexico bring to memory the 1926-1929 Cristero War, the contentious armed struggle between the revolutionary government and the Catholic Church. After the conflict ceased, the Cristeros and their legacy did not become part of Mexico’s national identity. This article explores the factors why this war became a distant memory rather than a part of Mexico’s history. Dissipation of Cristero groups and organizations, revolutionary social reforms in the 1930s, and the intricate relationship between the state and Church after 1929 promoted a silence surrounding this historical event. Decades later, a surge in Cristero literature led to the identification of notable Cristero figures in the 1990s and early 2000s.

  • Brief History of the Cristero War and Mexico's Struggle for Religious Freedom the Role of the U.S. Knights of Columbus in Resp
    Brief History of the Cristero War and Mexico’s Struggle for Religious Freedom When President Plutarco Calles took over as president of Mexico in 1924, he did not want the Catholic Church to be a part of any moral teachings to its citizens. He did not want God to be a part of anyone’s life. He wanted to bring Mexico’s population to belong to a Socialist state, and wanted to ensure that all citizens were going to be educated under the government’s dictatorship and secular mindset. He also wanted to ensure that only the government would have the freedom to form the minds of its citizens and insisted that the Church was poisoning the minds of the people. He implemented the “Law for Reforming the Penal Code” or “Calles’ Law”, which severely restricted the free practice of religion in Mexico. Priests or religious wearing clerical garb in public, and clerics who spoke out against the government could be jailed for five years. The Mexican bishops suspended public religious services in response to the law, and supported an economic boycott against the government. Violence soon erupted, as bands of Catholic peasants battled federal forces. Priests were shot and hung, Church property seized, and many religious institutions closed. The Cristeros’ battle cry was “Viva Cristo Rey!” (“Long live Christ the King!”). During the three-year war (1926-1929), approximately 90,000 people were killed. There are a total of 35 Martyrs who have been canonized. The Role of the U.S. Knights of Columbus in Response to the Cristero War In August of 1926, days after the Calles Law took effect, the U.S.

  • The Meaning of the Cristero Religious War Against the Mexican Revolution *
    The Meaning of the Cristero Religious War Against the Mexican Revolution * JAMES W. WILKIE Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jcs/article/8/2/214/842539 by guest on 01 October 2021 Fighting in the name of "Christ the King," thousands of Cath- olics engaged in armed revolt against the Mexican Revolutionary regime from 1926 to 1929. The meaning of the Cristero rebellion has never been well understood because scholars have generally considered the Roman Catholic Church and the Mexican govern- mentas monoliths. In fact, Mexican hierarchical and lay Cath- olic groups were sharply divided over the nature of the Church- state conflict; and deep political differences existed among the leaders of the Mexican Revolution. Consequently, a modus vivendi was negotiated in 1929 as moderate Church leaders re- jected Catholic military action andas government officials sought a welcome respite in the Revolution's campaign to regulate the Church. The purpose of this study is to reexamine the origins of the Cristero conflict, to identify its goals, and tO explain the strange outcome of the Church-state truce of 1929. Standard scholarly approaches to understanding the Cristero War, based upon the assumption of monolithic Church-state policy, have taken the following tacks. First, the Church's flagrant violation of the law forced the government suppression of unconstitutional practices of worship. 1 Alternatively, the government, searching for a pre- text to crush the Catholic religion, purposefully forced the Cris- teros into rebellion? Recently a third, composite view has de- picted the conflict as "inevitable" since "the lines had been drawn" between two intransigent forces "in agrarian reforms, in *This article is part of a larger study of the Mexican Revolution.

  • Ramon Jrade State University of New York, Binghamton
    INQUIRIES INTO THE CRISTERO INSURRECTION AGAINST THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION* Ramon Jrade State University of New York, Binghamton Interest in the Cristero insurrection against the Mexican Revolu­ tion has continued unabated since the 1960s. Until now all the major published studies have viewed the rebellion as the climactic outcome of the long-standing conflict between church and state in Mexico. 1 By adopting this perspective, these works have deepened knowledge of church-state relations and sharply delineated the composition and de­ velopment of Catholic and revolutionary factions. At the same time, these studies have offered a wide range of interpretations of the Cristero movement, interpretations that are incompatible with one another. This article examines the published works on the church-state conflict and the Cristero insurrection. Its aim is to show that their com­ peting interpretations of the uprisings derive from shared assumptions that entail assigning responsibility for the violent struggle to one or more of the contending groups and, with one exception, imputing a religious motive to the rural rebels. The article also examines two re­ cently published studies that focus more narrowly on the Cristero stronghold of the Los Altos region of Jalisco. The final section proposes an alternative line of inquiry that relies on a comparative approach to set aside existing contradictions and to place the Cristero phenomenon in its proper context. A principal concern of the major studies has been to reconstruct a sequence of events that subsumes under the church-state conflict the outbreak and termination of the violent struggle in specific sections of the countryside.

McCleary Harvard University, American Enterprise Institute AEI Economics Working Paper 2020-01 March 2020 © 2020 by Rachel M. McCleary and Robert J. Barro. All rights reserved. The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) educational organization and does not take institutional positions on any issues. The views expressed here are those of the author(s). Opening the Fifth Seal Catholic Martyrs and Forces of Religious Competition Rachel M. McCleary and Robert J. Barro Jorge Mario Bergoglio, since becoming Pope Francis in March 2013, is focusing on martyrdom in the Roman Catholic Church. Two months into his pontificate, Francis canonized the 813 martyrs of Otranto, the largest such group in recorded Catholic Church history. Five months later, Francis beatified another large group, 499 martyrs of the Spanish Civil War. Francis continues to emphasize martyrs over confessors, the name given to blessed persons who died of natural causes. In 2019, Francis beatified 39 martyrs and only 6 confessors. As a snapshot of what is happening, within the last four years, 14 persons who died in Guatemala have qualified as blessed martyrs; six were foreign missionaries who served in Guatemala and eight were national lay persons, including one child.1 The missionaries were Oklahoma priest Stanley Rother, the first U.S. born martyr beatified by the Catholic Church, three Missionaries of the Sacred Heart priests, a priest of the Order of Friars Minor, and James Miller, of the De La Salle Brothers of the Christian Schools and the last Vatican beatification for 2019.

  • An Interdiscplinary Study of El Niño Fidencio and His Religious Movement
    THE DEVOTION TO A LIVING SANTO AND HIS RELIGIOUS HEALING: AN INTERDISCPLINARY STUDY OF EL NIÑO FIDENCIO AND HIS RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT By José Maria Villarreal A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Chicano/Latino Studies - Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT THE DEVOTION TO A LIVING SANTO AND HIS RELIGIOUS HEALING: AN INTERDISCPLINARY STUDY OF EL NIÑO FIDENCIO AND HIS RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT By José Maria Villarreal This dissertation outlines a fresh approach to the inter-disciplinary study of El Niño Fidencio (the healer) and El Niño Fidencio religious movement as seen under the conceptual lens of an indigenized Christianity that distinguishes itself from mainstream Christianity. Apart from consulting an extended body of literature related to world religions, religious theory, curanderismo , popular religion and their analytical relationship to El Niño Fidencio, I also employed the inside research methodology to conduct my ethnographic work. My extensive fieldwork experience metamorphosed into a theoretical model centered on cultural rupture, and indigenous practices as symbolic resistance. The inside research methods allowed me to live among the devotees of El Niño Fidencio and participate in their rituals and ceremonies. Taking this into account, I posit the following theoretical framework: El Niño Fidencio and El Niño Fidencio’s religious movement represent a cultural rupture from mainstream Catholicism and Western forms of Christianity as evidenced by Fidencista’s belief in the spirit world and the belief that El Niño Fidencio is a living saint and at times seen as synonymous with Jesus Christ by hardline Fidencistas. El Niño is accessible through the intervention of a spiritual medium known as a materia .
