Olmos: Capstone Project
La iglesia católica por muchos años, desde los tiempos de la conquista, han sufrido momentos de tensión con el gobierno mexicano. Las tenciones entre iglesia y estado empezaron a acalorarse a inicios del año 1924 cuando el Plutarco Elías Calles toma posesión de la presidencia de México. En 1926 Calles añade el articulo 130 a la constitución mexicana la cual prohíbe cualquier acto religioso. A causa de estas leyes los religiosos de los estados del norte y centro de México, que están descontentos con estas leyes, deciden levantarse en armas y estalla la Guerra Cristera. Los estragos de los cristeros fueron plasmados por Jorge Gram en Héctor Novela Histórica Cristera. Por medio de esta obra Gram defiende la causa de la guerra y también defiende la licitud de la lucha armada en nombre de Cristo Rey. Gram nos da la oportunidad, tras la historia de Héctor, de aprender y sentir sobre la causa y el sufrimiento por el que pasaron los cristeros. También Gram resalta las características de la Guerra que saco, en todos los cristeros, su amor por Cristo Rey y la Virgen de Guadalupe, la valentía, y el amor por la su libertad. Héctor es un arma defensora de los derechos Cristeros y de la licitud de la lucha armada.
