The Church hierarchy controlled Mexico\u0026amp;rsquo;s wealth for more than three centuries and colluded with the military to oust inconvenient leaders such as \u003cb\u003eBenito Ju\u0026amp;aacute;rez\u003c\/b\u003e and install ones more favorable to their interests, including the emperors \u003cb\u003eIturbide\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eMaximilian\u003c\/b\u003e. The Catholic status quo rejected the ideals of the \u003cb\u003eFrench Revolution\u003c\/b\u003e, violently resisted progress, and used the pulpit and confessional to serve its \u003cb\u003ewealthy landowning patrons\u003c\/b\u003e. As if that weren\u0026amp;rsquo;t enough, it hindered literacy efforts and tried to restrict education to the privileged classes, blocked imports of objectionable books, and practiced censorship, \u003cb\u003ekidnapping and torture\u003c\/b\u003e. As an institution, it exploited Mexican society, excommunicated supporters of the liberal \u003cb\u003e1857 Constitution,\u003c\/b\u003e and forcefully defended its privileges, which included control over fifty percent of the country\u0026amp;rsquo;s real estate, \u003cb\u003emortgage lenders\u003c\/b\u003e, the secret police and a network of clandestine prisons. The Church benefited from tithes and tax exemptions, using them to fund conflicts such as the War of Reform and encouraging the faithful to kill liberals with impunity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrancisco Mart\u0026amp;iacute;n Moreno\u003c\/b\u003e exposes these and other \u003cb\u003eclosely guarded secrets\u003c\/b\u003e of Mexico\u0026amp;rsquo;s tumultuous nineteenth century in this fascinating novel, a testament to the power of love\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH Grupo Editorial","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback","offer_id":49735049052387,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9786073863742","price":164.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/d14b41b84c22-9786073863742.jpg?v=1789421505","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh\/products\/mexico-ante-dios-mexico-before-god","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
