Viva Cristo Rey!

“For Greater Glory”, starring Andy Garcia, Peter O’Toole, and Eva Longoria and due to be released in the United States in June, tells the story of the Cristero War, a counter-revolutionary uprising in 1920’s Mexico prompted by the brutal suppression of the Catholic Church by Mexico’s revolutionary government. The film has received rave reviews, and looks to be a fascinating, entertaining picture. “For Greater Glory” is especially timely, given the current debate over religious freedom prompted by the Obama Administration’s recent contraception mandate and the lawsuit filed seeking to block the mandate filed by numerous Catholic organizations.
