Luis Bátiz Sainz was the parish priest in Chalchihuites and a member of the Knights of Columbus. He was known for his devotion to the Eucharist and for his prayer for martyrdom: "Lord, I want to be a martyr; even though I am Your unworthy servant, I want to pour out my blood, drop by drop, for Your Name." In 1926, shortly before the closing of the churches, he was denounced as a conspirator against the government because of his connections with the National League for the Defense of Religious Liberty, which was preparing an armed uprising. A squad of soldiers raided the private house in which he was staying on August 14, 1926 and took him captive. They executed him, reportedly without benefit of a trial, along with three youths of the Mexican Association of Catholic Youth. The Catholic Church declared 13 additional victims of the anti-Catholic regime as martyrs on November 20, 2005, thus paving the way for their beatifications. This group was mostly lay people including 14-year-old José Sánchez del Río. On November 20, 2005, at Jalisco Stadium in Guadalajara, José Saraiva Cardinal Martins celebrated the beatifications. Juan Gutiérrez, a surviving Cristero, penned the Cristeros hymn, "Battle Hymn of the Cristeros,",l which is based on the music of the Spanish-language song "Marcha Real". The French historian and researcher Jean Meyer argues that the Cristero soldiers were western peasants who tried to resist the heavy pressures of the modern bourgeois state, the Mexican Revolution, the city elites, and the rich, all of whom wanted to suppress the Catholic faith. "El Martes Me Fusilan" is a song by Vicente Fernandez about a fictional Cristero's execution. Juan Rulfo's famous novel "Pedro Páramo" is set during the Cristero War in the western Mexico city of Comala. Graham Greene's novel "The Power and the Glory" is set during this period. John Ford used the novel to film his "The Fugitive" (1947). Malcolm Lowry's novel "Under the Volcano" is also set during the period. In Lowry's novel, the Cristeros appear as a reactionary group with fascist sympathies, which contrasts with their portrayal in other novels. There is a long section in B. Traven's novel "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" that is devoted to the history of what Traven refers to as "the Christian Bandits".
