What are you talking about? According to a movie I saw recently, the Aztecs were a kind and friendly bunch. Always smiling.
(Such is the power of propaganda.)

This is a story that sounds like it's coming from the 1600s and not 2024.
A group of 150 from the Great Commission Baptist Church in Mexico's Hidalgo State was displaced on April 26 from their homes in the villages of Coamila and Rancho Nuevo after refusing to participate in Catholic festivals in the cities. The villages are predominantly indigenous Nahuati-speaking communities.

“Mexico is supposedly a secular country. Not so much I’d say.”
Local tribes. They don’t even speak “Spanish”.
“That’s weird, because the government in Mexico is kind of anti-Catholic.”
Read the article. At least the first paragraph.

The article suggests (not implies) the opposite:
With the local government is running cover for the persecutors, the national government will need to intervene. However, given the state of Mexican politics and the influence of the Catholic faith in Mexico, that doesn't seem too likely.
So the Mexican national government is doing nothing. Like I said.
Similar things happened pretty recently to Amish and Mennonites who lived in Mexico for 100 years. They’ve resettled in West Texas and Minnesota.
I have an entire factory staffed with Mennonites because of this. Best workers I’ve ever had. Wives bring them lunch in metal lunch boxes.
Speak low (? Middle ?) German (sounds Ike Yiddish to me and I can talk with them in Yiddish) and listen to Tejano music.
Basically the government just came in and took their farms.

Author has lead a sheltered life. My wife’s family kept two sets of flags, photos and literature in there home.
One “day” set for the official government and a “night” set for when the communists came roving.

“Basically the government just came in and took their farms”
And once they’re the mayority here in dee Ju S of A, they plan to do exactly that.
Ah yes, love me some of that good old Catholic tolerance. Where’s the small pox blankets?
Not the first time a government hid behind the Pope.
What blankets?
Which suppression is likely a dream of many FR TradCaths, or least many mods of the now deceased "Catholic Answers forum. But of-course, colonialists in the US overall opposed Catholic settlement here, which was warranted in the light of RC history and its means of suppression, and claimed right of "coercive jurisdiction."
Meanwhile, in the West,in the future, the news could read: >A group of 150 from the Great Commission Baptist Church was displaced on April 26 from their homes in the villages of after refusing to participate in LGBTQ festivals in their cities. The villages are predominantly self-identified indigenous Gender Fluidity communities.
I do not know of any Catholics engaging in that, vs. a certain class of early colonialists seeking to subdue Native Americans.
However, medieval Rome did require her secular authorities, whatever office they may hold, to the best of their ability exterminate in the territories subject to their jurisdiction all heretics pointed out by the Church. Or RC subjects were absolved from obeying them. - http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/basis/lateran4.asp Which type of warfare early Prots had to unlearn.
Did your drama coach help you make this post?
I don’t blame them. I wouldn’t participate either.
Those Baptists are missing out on some smashing good times....

The Pope is more likely to denounce this than if they were doing something to Catholics. As far as I know, he is never defended any actions against Catholics around the world. But he probably doesn’t know about it because he doesn’t really pay attention to North America.
