Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Mexico: Personal Reminiscences, Present, Conditions and Future Outlook The subject of which this book treats is one of commanding importance to American Protestantism. For five or six years Mexico has been in the throes of revolution. Those who stand closest to the national condition feel confident that the close of the revolution will give an opportunity for Protestantism in Mexico greater than in the past. While the causes of the revolutionary developments have been in the broad sense economic and social, there are nevertheless distinctively religious factors at work in Mexico. The Roman Catholic Church there has not made use of its spiritual opportunities. While the general attitude of the church toward the people has been kindly and benevolent, the Roman organization, as such, has given itself too largely to material and political interests, neglecting the task of really spiritual shepherding of men. The hostility of the revolutionary leaders of Mexico toward Romanism is not to be interpreted as an enmity toward religion, but toward an alliance of organized ecclesiasticism with reactionary social forces.
