MORE ON STRUGGLE
(Continued from Page Two)
reared and sturdy Indian women, j
trudged over the sun baked roads in j
bare feet to their favorite shrines. |
The shrine of “Our Lady of Guadal
upe” long noted, was the center of a
great pilgrimage.
The priests held services until some
of them collapsed from exhaustion.
Weddings, baptisms, confirmations all
took place by the thousand in Mex
ico’s 12,000 churches. Even then,
they could not keep up with the influx j
of Catholics who crowded the church
es. As midnight boomed on July 31
and the priests ceased their functions,
there were thousands of their flocks |
who had been unable to reach them.
The civil authorities immediately
. took over the structures to safeguard
their treasures and to make inven
tories. In some cases, especially in
the remoter district, fighting occurred
and reports of fully a score of deaths
have been received. In some cases sol
‘ diers fired upon the crowds that as
^; sailed them. In general, however,
»; calm, prevailed.
The constitution of 1917, as related
to the -church, goes back to the consti
tution of 1857 which declared all
church property confiscated for the
benefit of the state and placed restric
tions upon the clergy. It was the out
come of the Reform War period, ex
tending from 1855 to 1861, a war that
was motivated by the government’s
* determination to strip the Catholic
of its wealth and power in Mexico.

Papal nuncios, Catholic bishops,
priests and nuns were expelled from
Mexico, church property was seized,
churches and convents closed, during
those years of controversy, although
the mass of the population remained
Roman Catholic. The most recent ex
pulsion of a Papal Nnucio was that of
Monsignor Caruana, an American citi
zen, on a charge of entering Mexico
improperly.
The Mexican Catholic church, a
schismatic body, was organized last
year. It denies the authority of the
Pope and has declared itself indepen
dent of Rome. High church dignatar
ies have denounced this movement vig
orously.
