La Cristiada - A Civil War

Research into one of Mexico's bloodiest civil wars in history and the impact this had on the local community.
University of Kent researcher Dr Mark Lawrence has explored the country's memory of the war. Though Church and State fought fiercely against each other, the conflict was more complicated than many remember it.
Dr Lawrence said: “‘The Cristero War began in 1926 but never really ended. The religious tensions and local vendettas it unleashed reverberated throughout the last century. Even now, almost a century later, the scars of the conflict can be seen throughout the west of Mexico”

    Not a civil war, a religious war. You will never erase history! † Viva Cristo Rey! †

    It was neither civil nor religious it was an outright persecution against the Catholic Church and it’s faithful. Viva Christo Rey y Santamaría de Guadalupe!

    @ Around 5:43 - Seems the following translation was omitted (as gentleman is holding a picture of his grandfather): "My mother's father, Grandfather Toribio Zepeda, we consider him to be a martyr of that revolution."

    Thank you for covering La Cristiada. You missed the heart of La Cristiada. If you really want the true real story of the suffering and crimes committed by the federal troops you need to do your research in the states of Jalisco Guanajuato and Michoacan. Zacatecas and Durango had minor involvement in La Cristiada. BTW the Catholic Church did not go on strike. They moved out of the Church buildings in protest to celebrate Mass and were later shut down by the government and therefore celebrated Mass in the Caves. Priest and entire Ranchos were massacred because of this

    Are there any unbiased sources on this? The Catholic Church is not without fault and everything makes them seem like a victim when they've been the aggressor throughout mexican history and world history.

    So it's okay to genocide innocent Catholics because some people abused their power? Punish the people responsible, not innocent civilians.
