Methodist Bishop Telis
01 Mexican Situation
“There is no religious persecu¬
tion taking place in Mexico to¬
day,” says Bishop George A.
Million, Mexico City, Mexico, in a
statement given out today by the
World Service Commission of ihe
Methodist Episcopal Church, Chi
caga, Illinois.
Bishop Miller is the resident
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in Mexico City, Mexico.
Ifc has recently returned from
Mexico on official church business,
and will return to Mexico in a few
days.
“The widespread vigorous prop¬
aganda which is under way in the
United States,” says Bishop
Miller,” is to make it appear that
the Mexican Government has re¬
verted back to the Dark Ages, and
is turning upon the Roman Catho¬
lic Church the methods so ener¬
getically developed by tlint church
in its treatment of followers of
other faiths in all countries where
the Roman Catholic Chihch has
control of the situation.
“It may be worthwhile to ask
how it has come about that after
three hundred years of Roman
control of Mexico ending in 1821,
and a hundred years of dominant
influence on the part of that church
in the affairs of government, it has
at last become necessary for the
best government tiiat Mexico has
ever had to use drastic means in
the control of the ecclesiastical
situation. There must be a reason,
and there is.
“The reason is that the Roman
Catholic priests in Mexico have
openly refused to comply with the
law of the land and have persist¬
ently meddled in politics. They
have now organized an economic
boycott with trie openly avowed
purpose of bankrupting the coun¬
try, and thus defeating the present
administration. How long would
the United States tolerate the pres¬
ence and activities of such propa¬
ganda in this country?
“To add a comic touch the situ¬
ation, the Catholics have now or¬
ganized a “league for the protec¬
tion of religious liberty.” This is
very interesting in view ol the fact
that while the recent Eucharistic
Congress in Chicago was viewed
with admiration and approval by
Protestants in the United States
and no objection was made to its
realization, we have the contrast of
the effort made in 1916 to hold an
Interdenominational Protestant
Congress for all Latin-American
in the City of Panama. The
Catholic bishop organized a pro¬
test and made it impossible to hold
a single session of this Congress in
Panama, compelling the gathering
to meet in cramped quarters in a
hotel on the Canal Zone.
“In all Latin-American coun¬
tries where the Roman Catholic
Church is in control of the religious
and political situation, every kind
of opposition, intolerance and per¬
secution are visited upon the fol¬
lowers of other faiths who in near¬
ly every case proceed quietly with
their meetings, suffering their af¬
flictions with such patience as they
can.
“In every struggle for political
liberty in Latin-Atnerica since the
beginning of the nineteenth cen¬
tury, the priesthood has-constantly
and continually opposed with every
obstacle the development of de¬
mocracy, and progress of popular
education, and these are the people
who are crying aloud for religious
freedom and tqieration in Mexico.
It is certainly time that the people
of the United States know some¬
thing of thi real facta of the isiue

involved.
“That no religious persecution is
in progress in Mexico is proven by
the fact that this present Latin
situation applies to Protestants
exactly the same as to Catholics
nfid is being impartially enforced
on all alike. So far as I know, the
only difference between Protestants
and Catholics at this point is that
the Protestants are consistently
obeying the law and going on with
a religious work undisturbed,
whereas the Catholics are defying
the Constitution, and raising a cry
ol religious persecution in order to
gain sympathy for their non-exist¬
ent wrongs. There is no just
reason whatever for the economic
boycott; for tlie closing of the
Catholic Churches on the first of
August; for the suspention of ec¬
clesiastical ceremonies and rites
when conducted by Mexican
priests, or for the “protection of
religious freedom.” This whole
uproar is worked up by a hierarchy
which Is content with nothing less
than the political dominance of the
country demands that its followers
give first allegiance to the Pope
and not to the Constitution.
“There is absolutely no excuse
whatever for the withdrawal of
the United States embargo on the
exportation of firearms to Mexico.
I believe this propaganda in tile
United States comes from sources
hostile to the Government of
Mexico and should be vigorously
repudiated by the American people.
“Take it all around, Mexico is in
the best condition of its entire his¬
tory, and the present Government
is heroically facing a difficult situ¬
ation and making good progress
toward economic reorganization,
agricultural reconstruction, sue
cessful policing of the country, and
the extention of popular education
What Mexico needs from the
United States is simply an intelli¬
gent sympathy and a moral sup¬
port. It looks like a fight to the
finish between the Pope and the
Mexican President and the least
we cun do is to keep our hands
off.”
