As you all know, recently there has been a rebellion against
the president Plutarco Elias Calles along with the current government. This outbreak came about because of the
Anti-Catholicism within the government.
They’re calling it the Cristero War.
Our president is trying to persecute the Roman Catholic Church because
of his beliefs. This is mainly a struggle between the government and
state. In 1917 it is known that a new
constitution was promulgated. The change was an establishment of religious
intolerance. Including the prohibition
of public cult outside churches, the State would decide the number of churches
and priests in the country, the clergy was denied the right to vote, religious
press was not allowed to refer to public issues, elementary school had to be
secular and the religious corporations and ministers of cult were prohibited to
establish or manage elementary schools.
It is now 1926 and things are heating up. I believe this has been caused because of the
ruler we have, he is of course doing things his way. It’s not fair to us. Things we should consider on this rebellion
are: have the president impeached, continue with this rebellion until things
are agreed upon, and boycott all things government. If any of you have suggestions or ideas on
what we can attempt to do for things to be finally over, contact me via letter.
