The reason I am against the Lodge is because they suppressed the Catholic Faith in Mexico to the point that the Catholics or Cristeros rebelled against the Government in 1926 to 1929. They removed the rights of priests and the religious. They still don’t have many rights in Mexico. The anti-clerical articles in the Mexican Constitution of 1917 and the law that were passed after were used to seize all churches, buildings, and meeting places of the Catholic Church and of other religions. Priests couldn’t vote, protest, or form a political party. Secularization was rampant, renaming places that had religious names. It also restricted the number of priests in an area to the point that many states had no official Catholic Church because She couldn’t function with limited clergy. Though I have to say that the Church was blessed by the persercution, for the Chruch gave birth to many Saints and Blessed. Viva Cristo Rey!!!
