Behind the scenes of "For Greater Glory: The True Story of the Cristiada"

[@805CB]

My great grandfather and my grandmother were Cristeros. They lived in San Julian Jalisco. My great grandfather was actually caught, hung and left for dead, but the soldiers left before they verified he was actually dead. Locals found him still kicking and cut him down. He survived. His name was Benito Villalpando from San Julian Jalisco. I am proud to tell my family's story when I can!

[@virginiagarcia9788]

Write it down for those who will come after you. Thank you for sharing.

[@LucysVanAndale]

My abuilito was a Cristero. He was killed when my dad was 5 months old. To this day, we don't know where he's buried, only the town. In his hometown of Atenguillo, Jal there's a small museum.

I am not a Mexican nor Spaniard; in fact, I am (proudly) Polish. As such, we are Catholic's who've experienced our own trials and tribulation's with a government that sought to undermine, if not outright eradicate, our shared faith. But just like the Cristero's of yesteryear, we loudly proclaimed "My chcemy Boga / We want God!", which is ironic (perhaps not) that we chanted very similar things in somewhat similar situations. It just goes to show you, regardless of time; location's; etc. every government wants the same thing and, given proper tools, will resort to the same ends.

My grand mother was Cristera I'm profundly proud , she was wearing like men to hide from the Army along some priests ,nuns and civilians that supported the movement. She was a teenager a that time. When I was a teenager I was playing basketball and spending time in school or friends . Sometimes we don't understand what our ancestors had to do and we are here to to their efforts and sacrifices. Long live Christ the King!.

My grandpa was 15, when he went through this in Mexico. I knew about this, because my Dad told me. My great-grandparents fought and protected their kids who were to Young to Fight. After this, they came to America. I know it's going to come here, it's written in Revelation (KJB). It's sad that the human race doesn't want to learn from history and past mistakes. Thank God he still loves us, inspite of ourselves. John 3:16. My favorite verse is Joshua 1:9. God is with us wherever we go.

ANYONE else find it extraordinary that there are ONLY 27,000 views of this documentry video, ONLY 365 "likes", and ONLY 56 comments in SEVEN YEARS?! The movie is even available on Netflix! Now I ask you, who exactly would not want this story told??? I am so disappointed that this story has not been told far and wide in the United States of America that I am sick to my stomach. Where are my brother Knights "liking", commenting, and sharing this video? Any sincere, freedom loving Catholic (i.e. Christian) should be OUTRAGED that this movie and documentry video is not being marketed NONSTOP in every single parish and protestant churches until at least one hundred million Americans know the story. TO MY BROTHER KNIGHTS... "LIKE" THE VIDEO; SHARE THE VIDEO; Take up a challenge to see how many trolls we can get to flame our comments and call us names because that actually messes with KZbin's algorithms in promoting the video by recommending in people's feeds. (Even "trolls" and "reprobates" can be used to promote God's will!😉)

The new Philippine President Duterte could bring this down on the Catholic Church in that country. I'm sure the people of the Philippines would also take up arms to defend their Faith. They took to the streets armed with Rosaries on 2/25/86, and the Virgin showed up and protected the people from Marcos. The military joined the people and turned against Marcos. The rest is history.

Dying for the Faith is most noble; but as Patton once said: "'You don't win wars for dying for your country. You win wars by making the other dumb bastard die for his." The Mexican Catholics were heroes and I salute them. They answered Stalin's question of how many divisions does the Pope have.

[@joycemiraglia280]

I learned of this film tonight listening to Father James Altman on the Fatima KZbin channel. I think every person needs to listen to not only him but this documentary on Mexico and the Catholic faith. Here in America we are almost at this state. We sadly have have Bishops today silencing their priests who are preaching from the bible and are being cast away taking their churches and not being able to even perform mass or any religious activities that include church doctrine. Its so sad these so called religious bishops are following the devil and furthering his evil instead of Preaching Gods holy words from the Bible. You bishops should get down on your knees and ask for Gods forgiveness. I thought that what priests were supposed to do and to devote their lives to doing Gods word and works. I converted to Catholicism believing the church was teaching and preaching Gods true Word and being the example for us to live by 🙏 in Jesus name I'll pray for you to come to know what you are doing is wrong and that you're pleasing the devil, the American gov.that's in control right now and the evil of man.God Bless the Knights of Columbus and Father James Altman for bringing this story to our attention🙏 †
