Catholic Church in Rosarito seized by the PFP... Bell ropes cut.
Only in Mexico where the churches are owned by the government. They even cut the bell ropes so people could not be called to mass...

I think it was the diocese in Tijuana that pulled the strings on this one. They have been battling with this renegade priest for some time now as I
recall...

It appears that hundred of parishioners arrived on the scene last night, cut the seals and removed the signs the PFP had put in place. It's good to
see the people get out of their houses and protest something.

What's going on with the attack on the Catholic church in Baja? Is this something new? Sorry for my naivete, but I didn't know that the government
or anyone else are out to get Catholicism in Baja. Please explain. I will say that I have definitely noticed a marked growth of protestantism in the
Baja, though. Thanks.

Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miguel Gregorio Antonio Ignacio Hidalgo y Costilla y Gallaga Mondarte Villaseñor[3] ( 8 May 1753 – 30 July 1811), more commonly known as Miguel
Hidalgo y Costilla or simply Miguel Hidalgo, was a Mexican priest and a leader of the Mexican War of Independence.
In 1810 Hidalgo led a group of indigenous and mestizo peasants in a revolt against the dominant peninsulares under the banner of the Virgin of
Guadalupe. After clashes with the criollos and Mexican townspeople the group disbanded.[4] Hidalgo was captured on 21 March 1811, and executed on 30
July.[5]
Hidalgo's rebellion was the beginning of what would become the Mexican War of Independence. Although he was unsuccessful in his original aim,
Hidalgo's efforts were followed by those of José María Morelos and Agustín de Iturbide who brought down the colonial governments of Spain in Mexico.
Hidalgo is considered the Father of the Nation of Mexico.[1]

Yeah, I recall when Vicente Fox was campaigning for the Presidency he would carry around a giant banner of the Virgin Mary (Virgen De Guadalupe) and
he was immediately told to cease and desist by the government.

The Pope visited Mexico some years back and had to get special dispensation from the government to wear his robes in public. To this day you won't
see priests outside in Roman Collars although you will see Nuns in their stunning outfits. I guess they arn't covered in the same catagory.
