Talk:Anti-clericalism in Mexico

Heading

This article claims the name of Villa Hermosa was changed by Garrido to Villahermosa while the article about Villahermosa says the name was already changed in 1915 by Francisco J. Múgica. Which one is true? Mixcoatl 14:02, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

This must to be read Persecution of Catholics, or must to include persecution of evangelicals in Chiapas and Oaxaca also. This is point of view to uses christian as meaning only catholics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.207.200.147 (talk) 21:02, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Article is patently absurd; blatantly POV!

Saying that Roman Catholics have a long history of persecution in Mexico is like saying Eastern Orthodox have a long history of persecution in Greece; Muslims in Saudi Arabia; Jews in Israel; Hindus in India; Anglicans in England; or evangelicals/Baptists in the United States. Someone with a much more neutral POV (or at least free of hyper-paranoid attempts at painting religious martyrdom when the near-exact opposite is the case in reality) should heavily edit this and change the title, or else outright delete it. (I know I'm too biased to do so objectively or fairly per Wiki standards). 173.28.244.122 (talk) 20:55, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

It seems more likely, seeing by how your comment was written, that your bias is sufficiently intense to distort your perception of reality and any objective standards of judgement. Sadly, if this is the case, you should indeed refrain from editing this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.16.126.200 (talk) 04:11, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Sorry. I'm not seeing the words "long history." To what sentences or paragraphs are you referring. The material I looked at was specific by timeframe. Student7 (talk) 18:53, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

The comment above suggests the writer is anti-Catholic and anti-history. There were thousands of martyrs, as Mexico has had periods of serious anti-religious persecution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.169.47 (talk) 02:47, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

I agree that the title reflects a particular point of view. It makes the article look as if it mainly described cases of persecution of Mexican Christians (even lay Catholics) because of their beliefs, instead of restrictions imposed onto the Catholic Church as an institution. I think the article should be renamed to Anti-clericalism in Mexico, as it refers to anti-clericalism (or a more active stance toward separation of Church and State) rather than outright persecution.

First there seems to be only one relevant note of discussion, which was the concern over copyright. The rest seems to be emotion. I only became aware of this history recently. So I switched to images. Priest up against the wall getting shot. Priest up against the wall getting shot. Long, long lines of reported Catholics hanging by their necks drying in the sun. Reminds me of some of the photos I saw in Germany when I was there. The talk page needs to be improved also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.131.10.72 (talk) 20:19, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
