As we have seen, down through the centuries, the Church will always rise from the ashes of Martyrs. And that is what this book is about.

The Revolution, purportedly for the freedom of the working class, was anything but that. It was just a changing of the guard: the few still had too much, and the many still had too little. The faces of the few had changed, but not that of the many. Only now, all were to be robbed of what treasure they had: the Catholic Church and their Salvador Jesús.

The Revolution, although started under the guise of equality for all, was to continue as a subtle and then outright "life and death struggle with the Church".

But the Revolution and its instigators did not reckon with the faithfulness and Holy Stubbornness of the many who refused to give homage to man. This ancient people, who survived pagan atrocities and Spanish betrayals, knew Who their King was and no one was going to depose Him.

Priests were rounded up, and expelled from many of the states of Mexico. But not even threats of imprisonment and death could deter these representatives of Christ. They returned (disguised as laity) and returned, and returned until they were, yes, imprisoned and executed. Their only crime was, they celebrated Holy Mass. You see, services were no longer allowed in Church. The government even closed the Churches down, in an effort to keep people from silently praying within the holy walls.  freelance writer
