Archbishop Gomez: 100 years later, we must remember the martyrs of Mexico’s anti-Catholic persecutions
During the persecutions that followed the Mexican Revolution of 1917, priests were executed by firing squad. Ordinary Catholics, even teenagers, were imprisoned, tortured and murdered.

I so enjoyed my joint new book event with Gautham Rao that there is another one at the end of October. Deets for sign up soon, open to all since it's online. This one is hosted by the immigration historians and pairs my book with an intriguing one about pathogens + people at the SW border.
