Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious Question in Mexico: By a Mexican Catholic 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 everyone 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. It is a sad commentary upon the Knights of Columbus Organization when it permits its organ to be used by a man who is afraid to sign his name to any article or argument that he may wish to present to them. Who is this man who, for fear of divulging his name, signs himself "An American Citizen." Why does he fear to make his name known? Is it because he had the audacity to attack President Wilson's policies, or is it because within his heart he realizes that he is not telling the whole truth about a question of great import to millions of struggling Mexicans? The alleged influence of Masonry in the present revolution of Mexico, as claimed by many Catholics, is absolutely without foundation. Every one who knows anything at all is aware of the fact that Masonry in Mexico is nothing more than a huge joke. That the Catholics are harboring wrong notions on the subject, is evidenced by the fact that Huerta's and Carbajal's special representative at Washington, Jose Castello, was a prominent Mason. Huerta sent him here under the impression that he would be assisted by his brother Masons, but he soon discovered that the Masonic Order would not mingle in politics, or have anything to do with the Mexican affairs.
