Resumen
MARTINEZ VILLEGAS, Austreberto. The conservative Catholic opposition of civic synarchism to abortion and homosexuality in Mexico City, 2000-2007. Cuicuilco. Rev. cienc. antropol. [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.79, pp.129-157. Epub 21-Mayo-2021. ISSN 2448-8488.
The Unión Nacional Sinarquista (UNS-National Synarchist Union), a conservative, anti-communist nationalist organization, experienced its boom between 1937 and 1944, the latter being when an internal division gave rise to two factions: the political and the civic. The latter existed in the country's capital, Mexico City, until 2009, maintaining activities dedicated to civic training and polemicizing (through the use of flyers and press bulletins) against some of the issues that were part of the left-wing agenda of local governments. The civic synarchists proposed an ideological discourse totally contrary to the secular state and openly condemned abortion for not coinciding with the guidelines of Catholic morality. They also argued against civil unions between people of the same sex, legally comparable to marriage, which they opposed. These positions made no concessions to the secularization of society and aimed to maintain, in the 21st Century, a struggle for what they postulated as the social reign of Christ. This article is the result of an investigation carried out using the author's personal archive, a file that contains documents related to the synarchist movement that had never previously been submitted for consideration for use in an academic investigation.
