Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Religious Question in Mexico: A Reply to Señor Enriquez "So much has been written about the religious difficulties in Mexico, so many groundless accusations against the Constitutionalists have been made by the Catholic clergy, that I, as a faithful Catholic and Mexican revolutionist, feel it necessary to answer the numerous charges which are being unjustly heaped upon us. It is a lamentable fact that every one of our accusers, either wilfully or through sheer ignorance, is overlooking the most important laws of the Mexican Constitution. They seem utterly ignorant of the history and the conditions of the country, its people and its aims, about which they are writing. Every one of them is hiding behind the cloak of religious bigotry, and in the name of Christianity and the Catholic religion tries to bring naught but sorrow to a people that is struggling for justice and independence." The paragraph above quoted contains the opening remarks of Señor I. C. Enriquez in his pamphlet, "The Religious Question in Mexico, by a Mexican Catholic." Readers, however, will have to take the Senor´s word for his Catholicity. That is all we have. No stronger evidence is presented in his pamphlet, though there is considerable evidence that he treats his nominal religion with about the same respect as he treats the truth - which is not saying much for either. Senor Enriquez has taken the trouble to send a copy of his pamphlet to all the members of the Senate and the Congress of the United States, and to give it a wide circulation generally; all of which indicates that his friends are becoming anxious about American public opinion, which is not at all surprising. The paragraph I have quoted from his opening is remarkable, in that it promises to show that the accusations made against the Mexican revolutionists, not only by American Catholic writers, but also by ex-President Roosevelt, are "groundless and unjust," in that it proposes to prove that these accusers are ignorant of the laws of the Mexican Constitution, and the history and present conditions of Mexico, etc.; and in that it even proposes to vindicate the actions of the Constitutionalists.
