Abstract
GONZALEZ MORFIN, Juan. Thought of Miguel Palomar y Vizcarra: Civic Action and Intransigent Catholicism in Letter of 1924. Rev. hist. Am. [online]. 2022, n.163, pp.449-473. Epub Feb 27, 2024. ISSN 2663-371X. https://doi.org/10.35424/rha.163.2022.1133.
In the years immediately after the Revolution, a group of Catholics who had participated in politics with the National Catholic Party again sought, through different means, to bring Catholic ideology into public policy. Among them, a small number self-styled intransigent spared no resources to do so. The armed uprising of the years 1926-1929 has often been seen as a reaction by Catholics against the legal provisions that stifled the actions of the Church. But, was it really the consequence of this or rather of the convictions of a group of politicians that was willing to go to the last consequences in their struggle? In the letter now presented there are indications of the latter possibility.
