Resumen
TOLENTINO, Adrián. The anticommunist conspiracy theory written by an intransigent Mexican Jesuit (1950). Sig. his [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.48, pp.460-504. Epub 01-Ago-2022. ISSN 1665-4420.
This article examines the conditions of possibility and the historical significance of an anticommunist conspiracy theory, titled El comunismo y la conspiración contra el orden cristiano, published in 1950 by an intransigent Mexican Jesuit, Joaquín Cardoso. This research shows that this conspiracy theory reflects the historical transformation the Mexican Catholic Church went through between the Cristero Wars and the Second Vatican Council. This conspiracy theory was possible due to the adaptation of the European intransigence discourse to the Mexican circumstance. Such discourse was redefined by the Mexican Catholic belligerency. The modus vivendi established afterwards did not put an end to the belligerency. The conspiracy theory reflects that Mexican Catholicism kept being politicized.
