Foreword by Archbishop Jose Gomez
Introduction
by Eduardo Verastegui
Many people of faith today are asking, “What is the price of religious
liberty?” In the 1920’s many Catholics in Mexico answered this
crucial question at the cost of their very lives. The new major motion picture,
For Greater Glory: The True Story of Cristiada tells the epic tale of Mexico’s
heroic struggle for religious freedom in a little-known conflict called the
Cristero War – but many questions still remain. Now you’ll go
much deeper into the exciting history behind the movie with this fact-filled
companion book – and gain important insight into the on-going fight
for religious freedom today. This is the Official Companion Book to the epic
film. Lavishly illustrated with photos from the film and with historical photos.
As you read you’ll discover:
• Who were
the Cristeros?
• What drove the Mexican government to ruthlessly persecute Catholics?
• Can a priest “wage war”
• What role did groups like the Knights of Columbus play in this armed
resistance?
• Why did thousands of Catholics - priests, religious, lay people -
willingly give their lives in the Cristiada?
• What role did the U.S. play in ending this bitter conflict?
• What did the Pope do to support the Church in Mexico?
• Which characters in the movie went on to become Catholic saints and
blesseds in real life?
• Why is this dramatic episode of history so little known today?
• What is the lesson of the Cristiada for those struggling for religious
freedom today?

Glory is ‘must-see’ viewing for all those who care about faith
and liberty today.”
