"The Cristeros?" I asked. "Are they part of the revolution?" Gus shook his head. "Not officially. But they share the rebels’ desire for self-determination for the local traditionals and campesinos . They took their name from the Cristero Rebellion of the 1920s, when Catholics fought back against government anti-church policies." He shrugged. "The Cristeros of that century had God on their side—they won their fight. I can only pray that the Lord still smiles upon our efforts."
