In the 1920s and 1930s, the infamous Calles Persecution occurred in Mexico. During this time, Freemasons tried to bomb the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The bomb did go off, but not even the glass was cracked, which was not bullet proof and very thin [supernatural protection, apparently]. A 5 foot brass cross on the altar was not as fortunate. The tremendous force of the blast caused the cross to be curved.
Many Roman Catholic priests were martyred during the Calles Persecution, including Blessed Miguel Pro.
In the book Mexican Martyrs, written by a Jesuit, there is the story that after one Mexican official executed a Catholic priest, he ate part of the Catholic priest for dinner. Such was the barbaric nature of the persecution of the Catholic Church by Freemasons in the 1920's and 1930's in Mexico.
From: Painted by a Heavenly Hand:
Testifying equally powerfully to the image’s supernatural origins is its miraculous preservation in the face of numerous unfortunate circumstances and events throughout its centuries-old history. In 1791, while cleaning the image’s silver frame, a worker accidentally spilled an entire bottle of nitric acid over the image. To his great surprise and enormous relief the acid did not leave the slightest trace. In the 1920s, during the bloody persecutions of the Church under Plutarco Calles, thousands of priests were condemned to death merely for carrying out their priestly duties. The atheist Masonic regime closed down all the churches in Mexico except for the Basilica in Guadalupe. Nevertheless, the enemies of the Church devised a diabolic plan to destroy the image of Our Lady and kill most of the members of the hierarchy. On 14 November 1921 government agents hid a powerful time bomb in a flower vase under the miraculous image. The bomb exploded at 10:30 in the midst of a Pontifical Mass. The powerful explosion rocked the entire Basilica, destroying the floor, marble altar and stained glass windows. Miraculously no one was killed. A few people suffered minor wounds only. When the dust settled after the explosion, it turned out that the image had emerged untouched. A massive metal crucifix—bent out of shape—had shielded it from the force of the explosion.
However, this description might be inaccurate, as the bomb was between the crucifix and Our Lady of Guadalupe. It was the back of the crucifix that was bent.
The force should have cracked the glass at the least and definitely destroyed the image. Yet the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe remained unscathed.
We heard a teaching on the Cristeros at our Catholic church, from a man who had done much research about it. Definitely the Freemasons were behind it, including Freemasons in the US who were supporting it. They are VERY anti-Catholic.

It is a bit less clear and a little more involved in Texas. There have always been Mexicans in Texas. There were Tejanos at the Alamo and at San Jacinto. Yes there are cultural differences but we have a large number of Hispanics who are certainly integrated into the fabric.
My son-in-law is 1/2 Hispanic. I could not care more for him if he were my own son. He is very good to my daughter and is a great father to my grandson. He is NOT a Leftie, staunch Republican.

Not in a Blue Lodge...
Even if they own one of those little clown cars?
It takes all kinds. I know several fellow FReepers who are scared to death of Mason and even when you point out all the Founding Fathers and all the various honest to God Patriots that have been Mason it’s like well not them, but all the others are bad. A few claim that they are all Satan worshipers, but when you ask them if that’s true then why is Bill Graham a Mason they have no answer.
Hey my horse is a freemmason!

The person responsible for this post has been sacked...
I hate it when the subject comes up.
It is always propogated by the most miss-informed people. They make the wildest accusations and speak like they have studied the subject. Generally they have read one idiot’s book.
The wild ones will bring up the “The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” or the Illuminati. Or some other dribble. What they really need to read is “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Maddness of Crowds.”
Candidates for the loonie bin. hee hee hee
Yep, Utter.
Your tag line is interesting:
“Therefore I think FELLOW SLAVES”
Calles, Allende, Bolivar... all the legendary Latin America anti-clericists (except Che) were freemasons. I’m not aware of any source which denies any of them.
If my recent article is your inspiration, you’re running out ahead of me.
Jesse Helms was a freemason; I’m a freemason and also a believer in Jesus Christ, the free markets, Ronald Reagan, and Rush Limbaugh
