For Greater Glory: The True Story of Cristiada
The Mexican persecution of the Catholic Church in the 1920’s.
St. José María Robles Hurtado, a martyred priest
and Knight of Columbus who blessed and forgave his
killers in the face of death.
Caption below the Railroad tracks reads:
• Catholics hanged by the Mexican government along railroad tracks near Zapotlán el Grande (City Guzmán), in Jalisco. The media fallout from this photograph was so negative that President Calles later ordered the Secretary of War to hang people away from the train tracks in the future.
