Mexico's Spiritual Reconquest radically reshapes our understanding of this long-ignored (or actively misrepresented) independent Catholic church. Ben Fallaw, author of Religion and State Formation in Postrevolutionary Mexico In this first-ever study of the pro-revolutionary Mexican Catholic and Apostolic Church and the patriarch who led it, Matthew Butler offers readers a fascinating reconceptualization of popular, indigenous, and revolutionary religiosity in Mexico during the first half of the twentieth century. In his tremendously rich and detailed book, Butler reveals that Mexico was not simply a Catholic country but was instead a country of 'competing Catholicisms.' Julia G. Young, author of Mexican Exodus: Emigrants, Exiles, and Refugees of the Cristero War
