HERNANDEZ VICENCIO, Tania. The Catholic Church in the Struggle for the Religious Reformation in Mexico. Desacatos [online]. 2014, n.44, pp.143-158. ISSN 2448-5144.

This work raises the first reflection on the political process that made possible in Mexico the approval of the reform to the 24^th constitutional article, about the freedom of worships, in the Congress of the Union. The argument supporting the defense of the religious freedom as part of a new speech of modernity and human rights was efficient in two senses: it consolidated the idea that modern lay State must try new conditions to advance in the exercise of religious freedom, and gave sustenance in the facts to an alliance between the conservative sectors of ecclesiastic and political elite, in a context of electoral supports exchange for major advantages for the Catholic Church.

Palabras llave : constitutional reform; religious freedom; laicism; alliances; conservative catholics.
