Archbishop Gustavo Rodriguez Vega on Same Sex Marriage

Archbishop Gustavo Rodriguez Vega on Same Sex Marriage

Traditional Marriage is under assault not only in the United States.  Recently, the Mexican Supreme Court has sought to impose Same Sex Marriage.  

Nuevo Lordeo Archbishop Gustavo Rodriguez Vega considered this court ruling a call for faithful Catholics to the ramparts.  This is in a country which fought La cristiada, a widespread rebellion against the secularist, anti-Catholic government of President Plutarco Elías Calle to enforce anti-clerical laws in the Mexican Constitution of 1917.  This struggle was depicted in "For Greater Glory" (2012) starring Andy Garcia. 

Sadly, the risk of martyrdom to defend one's Christian faith is no longer a far fetched prospect in America.

Miguel Pro on Faith


Blessed Miguel Pro just before his martyrdom in 1927 in Mexico[/caption] To better understand what motivated this mild-mannered padre to be martyred, watch "For Greater Glory" (2012), a film about the Cristiada War (1926-1929) where a radically secular Mexican government tried to take away the people's religious liberty and the people rebelled.
