the Mexican People and Church

The author, Arturo M. Elias, provides an in-depth perspective on the government's efforts to implement secular reforms and the resulting resistance from ecclesiastical authorities and their followers.The book delves into the historical roots of religious influence in Mexico, the implications of the 1917 Constitution, and the struggle for national identity amidst competing ideologies. It serves as a significant primary source for understanding the Cristero War era and the broader debate over church-state separation in Latin America.
