Centenary of Cristero Betrayal: Masonic Compromise and Neo-Church Distortions
The Catholic News Agency commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Cristero War, framing it as a “popular uprising” against Mexican state persecution. While acknowledging the constitutional suppression of Catholic liberties (1917) and the Calles Law (1926), the article whitewashes the conciliar sect’s complicity in perpetuating religious slavery through the 1929 “Agreements.” It further propagates the neo-church’s false narrative by honoring antipope John Paul II’s invalid canonizations of Cristero martyrs—a sacrilegious act by an apostate hierarchy.
Naturalistic Distortion of Supernatural Martyrdom
The article reduces the Cristero conflict to a political struggle for “religious liberty,” stating: “an armed, popular uprising against religious persecution by the federal government”. This ignores the raison d’être of the Cristeros: defense of Christ the King’s social reign, as Pius XI enshrined in Quas Primas (1925): “Nations will be in distress and anguish […] until they turn to recognize the reign of our Savior”. By omitting the Cristeros’ battle cry—“¡Viva Cristo Rey!”—the report obscures their supernatural motive: rejecting Masonic secularism to uphold the immutable truth that states owe Christ public worship (Syllabus of Errors, Pius IX, 1864).
Silence on Post-1929 Apostasy and Second Persecution
Jean Meyer’s observation—“More people died after the ‘Agreements’ than during the war”—is cited neutrally, without indicting the bishops’ betrayal. The 1929 pact, brokered by Archbishop Leopoldo Ruiz y Flores, surrendered Catholic resistance without repealing anti-Church laws. This violated the Church’s perennial teaching: “No human law can validly contradict Divine Law” (Leo XIII, Libertas). By resuming sacraments while Calles’ regime continued exterminating Cristeros, the hierarchy enabled a genocide of faithful Catholics—a fact the article buries beneath euphemisms like “modus vivendi”.
Canonizations by Anti-Popes: Sacrilege and Fraud
The report glorifies figures canonized by John Paul II (e.g., José Sánchez del RÃo, Miguel Pro), ignoring that antipopes lack authority to sanctify. John Paul II’s 2000 “canonization” of 25 Mexicans—including six Knights of Columbus priests—is schismatic theater, as his manifest heresies (Assisi syncretism, evolution of dogma) rendered his papacy null (Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice). True martyrs like Anacleto González Flores (beatified by Pius XII in 2005) are equated with neo-church fabrications, diluting their witness. The photograph of Pro’s execution—hailed as a “powerful symbol”—is exploited to legitimize the counterfeit sainthood factory of Vatican II.
1992 “Religious Freedom” Heresy and Ongoing Enslavement
The article praises Mexico’s 1992 constitutional “reforms” allowing Church property ownership as progress. In reality, these changes institutionalize the heresy of religious liberty condemned by Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos (1832): “the absurd and erroneous maxim claiming ‘liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone’”. By accepting state restrictions on media ownership and public worship, the conciliar Mexican bishops (CEM) ratified the Masonic lie that Christ’s Church is a private NGO, not the one Ark of Salvation. Their 2026 statement—“Have we become complacent relegating faith to the private sphere?”—is hypocritical, as they operate within this apostate framework.
Conclusion: Cristeros Betrayed by Neo-Church Modernism
The Cristero War’s centenary exposes the conciliar sect’s treachery: venerating martyrs while collaborating with the same Masonic principles they died fighting. True Catholics honor Cristero sacrifices by rejecting the 1929 surrender, the 1992 accords, and all post-1958 antipopes. As Pius XI declared: “When nations disregard Christ’s authority, society crumbles” (Quas Primas). Until Mexico’s government submits to Christ the King—not the neo-church’s false ecumenism—the Cristeros’ blood cries for justice.
