Blessed Jose

Résumé du livre

"1926 marked the end of religious freedom in Mexico. All churches became government property, priests became employees of the state, and freedom of the press and religious education were done away with. Mexican Catholics fought back. In 1926, they formed the Cristero Army. It had one simple goal -- to open up the churches again and return freedom of religion to the Mexican people. Jose Sanchez del Rio joined the Cristeros when he was 14. His life and martyrdom are living proof that age is no limit to greatness. This is his story."--Back cover
