About this listen

In Episode 10 of T&E with the Tea, we journey back to 1920s Mexico to uncover the dramatic clash between faith and government known as the Cristero War. Promoted by devout Catholic rebels, the Cristeros took up arms to defend religious freedom against strict anti-clerical laws.

Join us as we delve into:

  • The political and social forces that ignited the conflict
  • The courageous figures who became legends of resistance
  • The surprising twists and lasting impact on Mexican history

Grab your cup, settle in, and get ready for a story of conviction, courage, and controversy.
