At the time of Pro's death, Mexico was ruled by fiercely anti-clerical and anti-Catholic President Plutarco Elías Calles

.. Miguel renounced everything for Christ his King and entered the Jesuit novitiate in El Llano, Michoacan in 1911.

He studied in Mexico until 1914, when a tidal wave of anti-Catholicism crashed down upon Mexico, forcing the novitiate to disband and flee to the United States, where Miguel and his brother seminarians treked through Texas and New Mexico before arriving at the Jesuit house in Los Gatos, California.

In 1915, Miguel was sent to a seminary in Spain, where he remained until 1924, when he went to Belgium for his ordination to the priesthood in 1925.

Falsely accused in the bombing attempt on a former Mexican president, Miguel became a wanted man. Betrayed to the police, he was sentenced to death without the benefit of any legal process. A young engineer who confessed his part in the assassination testified that the Pro brothers were not involved. Miguel and his brothers were taken to the Detective Inspector's Office in Mexico City.

On November 23, 1927, Pro was executed without trial. President Calles gave orders to have Pro executed for the assassination attempt. Calles had the execution meticulously photographed, and the newspapers throughout the country carried photos on the front page the following day. Presumably, Calles thought that the sight of the pictures would frighten the Cristero rebels who were fighting against his troops, particularly in the state of Jalisco. However, they had the opposite effect.

On the day of his execution, Fr. Pro forgave his executtioners, prayed, bravely refused the blindfold and died proclaiming, "Viva Cristo Rey", "Long live Christ the King!"

how about we reeducate these people on the greatness of America and its root.... it starts at school!

here is a repost of mine, you may have seen the first part a while back...

you are right....It’s the extended program of the marxist-muslim alliance
There IS a war on the West and the Judeo Christian faith,
it’s heritage, culture, it’s successes, achievements, accomplishments and progress.
This is but the most recent chapter...
Here is a segment from a previous post..

The DNC has adopted the position of the marxist muslim coalition as projected by Carlos the Jackal and others of his time.
Go read Carlos the Jackal for his opinion of how to bring down the west.
He acknowledged that Marxism by itself could not bring down the west , nor could islam; but an alliance, a coalition of the two could. Obama was both a marxist and a muslim... and a lying radical at that.
Libya? Benghazi was all a part of that.

here’s why they want President Trump:

This is what we are witnessing in the blm and antifa movements, they are Hillary’s frontline, brownshirts of her “resistance”
Ever notice how Bill Ayers was aligned with Obama???? Ever notice how Susan Rosenberg is the advisor to the blm??? Susan’s sentence was commuted by Clinton on his vast day in office. Both blm and antifa are alive in western nations.
This horseshit was in the pipeline over the last 8 years of Obama as he embedded his players in key government positions. Now, add in some Alynsky... and more Hillary.

Trump got in the way of their program, their “death to America” agenda. It’s still in gear, but Hillary was supposed to win so they could flip America.
Obama , Biden and HRC ++++ had installed an operational totalitarian government.

In their need to protect their agenda, they weaponized all intelligence, CIA, FBI, NSA thereby flexing their muscle using FISA to spy on the competition.... it could have been anyone who tripped the wire, but it ended up being president elect Trump. AND then after that, we saw them try to unseat President Trump afterwards, so we see that many of their deep state efforts are still alive today.
With the media suppression of the Biden corruption scandals we see the media’s complicity in their totalitarian agenda
The hijacking and destruction of America was well underway .... and many of its loyalists are still fighting to maintain the nefarious obamian “DEATH TO AMERICA” agenda.

Take out America and you take out the hub of western Christian man, his culture , his heritage, his successes, achievements advancements and progress.

IF and when the lights of liberty, rights and freedom go out in America~~~ it will take over a thousand years for the lights of liberty to come back on..
The democrats do not see that, they wish for death, death to America

What’s the choice?

Every success we have~ is founded in the reason we went to the crusades.

It’s the islamaphobia which gave us all our rights, liberty and freedoms in the Magna Carta. This document was created at the height of the crusades. Once we learned we could own property, then we started trading in ideas... thus patent law.... then we had some reformation.... and these were the building blocks that led to the Industrial revolution. Central to this was free speech. New ideas, and debate.
It’s this group of events that gave the advancement the world enjoys today.

Nobody else did this , not the Chinese, not the Indians, not the Africans, not the world of islam. It was Christianity.
Not Christianity from the Eastern Orthodox, due to constant badgering by islam they never had a chance to build.
Not Christianity from Rome, however they did have a minor hand in the process.
But it was a specific group of Christians, those of Great Britain

Communal systems like those in Africa, islam, and marxism NEVER developed the necessary infrastructure necessary to create the ideas that come out of our Magna Carta and patent law.
IT’s because of this that the sciences were expanded.
Originally Great Britain held the reigns, then along came the US of A with more resources, more land, mines ... and the root of more wealth
IT’s because of this that biomeds and every invention you see outside your window came from.
This is the reason for the expansion of the engish language
... the reason the word trades in USD
...the reason the language is the language of technology.

All of this came out of “islamophobia”... but as you are well aware, that is a misnomer.
There is a rational reason to fear islam as it is a part of the AntiChristian movement.
Shortened: Antichrist personified.
