The story of the Cristero War in Mexico reached theaters a little over a decade ago with \u201cFor Greater Glory<\/a>,\u201d a film titled \u201cCristiada\u201d <\/em>in Spanish. Alongside the film, an official book was published to delve deeper into the history of the war, a spontaneous uprising by Catholics in response to religious persecution in the first part of the 20th century.<\/p>\n

Available in Spanish and English<\/a>, the book is authored by Rub\u00e9n Quezada, a Catholic of Mexican origin living in California, and features a foreword by the archbishop of Los Angeles, Jos\u00e9 Gomez. Actor and producer Eduardo Ver\u00e1stegui wrote the introduction, and the book also contains an essay by Carl Anderson, who at the time of publication was the supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus.<\/p>\n

Although \u201cFor Greater Glory\u201d tells the story of a historical event that marks its centenary this year<\/a>, the anti-Catholic sentiment it portrays \u201cstill persists, in a certain way,\u201d in present-day Mexico, Quezada shared in a telephone interview with ACI Prensa,\u00a0the Spanish-language sister service of EWTN News.<\/p>\n

Quezada, 59, now a renowned international speaker, recalled that during his childhood in Mexico, the Cristero War was not included in the history curriculum in elementary school.<\/p>\n

The author explained that this widespread ignorance was a consequence of a state policy that lasted for decades. Following the 1929 \u201carrangements\u201d between the Church and the federal government, which formally ended the Cristero War, he recounted, there was \u201ca government order that nothing could be published, nothing could be disseminated,\u201d effectively making the Cristero War a taboo subject, while many Catholics avoided speaking about it for fear of being arrested.<\/p>\n

Thus many generations were unable to access information about the religious persecution of the early 20th century, he explained.<\/p>\n

It was not until later in life, when he immersed himself in the writing of the Franco-Mexican historian Jean Meyer \u2014 compiled in his three-volume work \u201cLa Cristiada\u201d \u2014 that Quezada \u201cbegan to study the Cristero War in greater depth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The situation of enforced silence lasted until 1992, when relations between the Catholic Church and the Mexican state were officially restored. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about [a diplomatic break that lasted] 60 years,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n

That same spirit of silence surrounding the history of the Cristero War was even present during the production of the film starring Andy Garc\u00eda, he pointed out. Quezada noted that during the making of \u201cFor Greater Glory,\u201d \u201cmany governors or mayors wouldn\u2019t allow the movie to be filmed\u201d in their locale and that once it was in theaters, it faced subtle boycotts: \u201cWe received reports from all over that they didn\u2019t want to show the film in certain theaters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey would close the theater,\u201d he added, and claim that tickets had sold out \u201cwhen there weren\u2019t many people\u201d inside.<\/p>\n

Currently, he indicated, although \u201cit cannot be said to be at that same level,\u201d the sustained persecution of the Church in Mexico has put down \u201croots that remain within government platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time, he lamented, there is a \u201cprofound silence\u201d in contemporary Mexican society regarding the Cristero War. In his travels throughout Mexico to participate in various events and conferences, the author said he has encountered many people who \u201cprefer not to talk about that subject, or are unaware of it, or simply don\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Given this situation, Quezada argued that the Catholic response must be active and informed participation in public life. \u201cWe have a responsibility to vote with a Catholic conscience,\u201d he emphasized, noting that leaders should not be elected \u201csimply based on personal preference or family tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the author, religious freedom hinges on the ability of the laity to place in positions of authority those who respect faith and human dignity. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe must carefully examine each candidate … knowing that we are choosing what is best for humanity, for society, for the world,\u201d he added, emphasizing that, ultimately, \u201cwe are the ones who put those elected officials in that position.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, Quezada posed a challenge that draws the connection between the sacrifice of the Cristeros with contemporary Christian adherence to the faith. <\/p>\n

After years of studying figures like Blessed Miguel Agust\u00edn Pro \u2014 whose impact changed Quezada\u2019s life when he was just a young man in California \u2014 the author posed a key question 100 years after the Cristero War: \u201cWould we be willing today to rise up with that faith, with that heart that burned for the passion of Christ? Would we be willing today to act in such a way if we were ever confronted with something?\u201d<\/p>\n
