Mexican Bishops’ Modernist Distortion of Cristero Martyrs’ Legacy
The Catholic News Agency portal (November 15, 2025) reports on a message from the Mexican Bishops’ Conference commemorating the 2026 centenary of the Calles Law and Cristero Resistance. While invoking the Cristero martyrs’ cry of “¡Viva Cristo Rey!”, the conciliar sect’s document betrays their legacy through doctrinal ambiguity and conciliarist concessions to modernity. The “bishops” lament violence and migration while ignoring the root cause: society’s rejection of Regnum Christi (the Reign of Christ) over nations. Their selective historical memory omits how the Cristeros fought not merely for “religious freedom” but for the total social kingship of Christ the King – a truth explicitly condemned by Vatican II’s declaration on religious liberty.
