I saw the movie, not because I wanted to see the Hollywood like production, although I must say, it was nice. I had known from years back about the Cristiada, because I was in a catholic school and they show us another part of the history, like the life and purpose of Father Miguel Agustin Pro SJ, martyr from that war. It was curious to me, as to why of the interest to came up with this production, new laws in the mexican constitution regarding religious issues and the former Papa's coming enter in the equation.
Also because, my grandfather was –somewhat- involved, not in the hero type. –it was mostly because his tongue spoke before his mind, and he ended up running away to one of the nearby hills and hide until things calmed down.

You will not see in France the US-Mexican film Cristiada, released in 2012. But it is a successful production in the United States, Mexico and in countries where the Masonic socialist censorship is not exercised or is exercising with less rigor than in France.
Its director Dean Wright and renowned actors like Andy Garcia, who plays the lead role, and the "American" way it was shot, with simplifications, the liberties taken for the sake of the film relative to the true Cristero history and battle scenes very well done, make a guaranteed commercial success for the theaters. The problem is that the film Cristiada tells the true story of Mexico in the 1920s after the Mexican Revolution led by a president and a socialist government and Freemasons democratically elected but whose fanatical secularism has plunged the country into the civil war and has made Mexico a country where religious freedom was very limited until recently.
Democratically elected???? … plunged the country into the civil war and has made Mexico a country where religious freedom was very limited until recently????
I do not think we had never, ever had had any democratically elections, though … I supposed it depends of the point of view from the author of the article, of course, it can reach other corners.
I was hearing today a Mexican radio show called Domingo 6 made by Tomás Mojarro (El Valedor)_http://valedor.org/tag/domingo-6/ , I had found his show quite objective, with a good analysis regarding Mexican politics, today's show was about the beeep!! of the()$#%) many bad words can be inserted here, but to be understandable, I will use the psychopath word, how the psychopath politicians had enriched themselves and how they manage to go with it. Our latest acquisition the former governor of Tabasco _http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/mexican-investigators-seize-boxes-filled-with-cash-at-office-of-ex-aide-to-former-governor/2013/05/22/52762094-c34e-11e2-9642-a56177f1cdf7_story.html.
Anyways, he mention today the revolution, with one interesting question, What we (as the masses) had obtain -as benefits- from that revolution??, he invite to his listeners to not fall in the mediocrity. Because it is so easy to complain.
I know that, regarding Mexican catholic church as big broad institution, its one along other institutions of power, but I also know -by experience- of the benefits of smaller institutions and organizations being catholic bias that had and are making better the lives of many many Mexicans, in this regard it has two sides of the coin, as many things … well, not that simple, it mostly have many sides.
As being told by Agustin Basave in his book “Mexicanidad and Esquizofrenia, los dos rostros del mexijano” (Mexicanity and Schizophrenia, the two faces of the Mexican) –there is an explanation of the “J” instead of “c” from “mexijano”, but that would be in other time. Regarding religion with constitution issues he says:
“The line of the continuity from then to now had been, that mania of us to create norms way far away from the reality. One of the worst consequences had been the prevalence of inflexible laws that apply flexibly, instead of flexible laws that apply inflexibly. […]
“Here are the two dimensions of the modus operandi of the Mexican corruption: there are two dispositions of the Constitution that are practically inapplicable, are that in these secondary laws and the regulations, exists a great quantity of requirements that do it extremely difficult for the citizen or user, to comply. Both circumstances contribute to make distance between the norm and reality, and both propitiate that the vaccum is filled with laws non written”
And that explains what had been done, at least with religion issues, but it can by applied to many other things as well. It was said that the education had to be secular and there are and had been houndreds of religious schools –not just catholic ones, It was said that in the schools shouldn't been any religious images, prayer s etc… and they (in the school) flip the image to one of Benito Juarez, when the inspectors made their visits; religious class was converted to moral class. And so on with examples, and as Basave explains: “the most symptomatic: the children of the Education Secretary in turn and also the sons of the president of the Republic were usually students of those schools that transgress the Constitution”.
So, your confusion is quite valid, I am confused too. Of course, I live in a confusing country, I should be accustom with the confusion, but every day I learn about new confusions in this country, and ended up confused again.
Latest confusion was last week, I was supposed to do payment to the goverment of the city, when I went to pick up the format -- they do not send it to you, you have to go to the goverment office, I couldn't do it because there was an error in my name, in that office the error couldn't be change, so I have to go to another goverment office and, they solicit me to do a permorm duty letter to them to correct their on error in order for me to do the payment (???) .... I somehow think, that the goverment need all this burocracy sistem to justify their jobs, thats ok, we do not want to have more unemployment people, problem is, the burocracy in this country is a joke (in order to not say bad words), you have to do as they say or they simply make your life worst. So I went with the PATIENT chip inside. So far, so good, in around 45 days I will have an answer.
