The Cristeros movement was a magnificent militant expression of popular Catholic crusading for the Faith against a persecuting secularist, liberal/Marxist Mexican government in the 1920's. What caused their growth? How effective was their action? What role did Rome and the American episcopacy play in weakening its impact? Monsignor Ignacio Barreiro tackles all these questions in this exciting talk. Taken from: Crusading, the Crusader & the Christian Order - 2002 VonHildebrand Institute
