CEJUDO RAMOS, Elizabeth. "Sonora's Ungrateful Children". A Church State Conflict in a Mexican Northwest State, 1926-1929. Región y sociedad [online]. 2021, vol.33, e1506. Epub 22-Abr-2022. ISSN 2448-4849. https://doi.org/10.22198/rys2021/33/1506.
Objective: to analyze the Sonoran experience in the frame of the church-state conflict that took place in Mexico between 1926 and 1929. Methodology: analysis of documents contained in local, national and international historical archives with the purpose of reconstructing the Sonoran process through the identification of players, strategies, and sociopolitical circumstances in the studied period. Results: research allowed characterizing the resistance displayed by the Catholic Church as passive, expressed through letters to the authorities, religious propaganda contraband, distribution of flyers in defense of religious liberty and supporting the economic boycott promoted by the Religious Defense National League. Additionally it addresses the exile of Bishop Juan Navarrete y Guerrero in the United States and his participation within the process of agreements signed between the Mexican State and the Holy See. Value: the article reconstructs the local expression of a variegated conflict that manifested unequally throughout the country, featuring the laity as a central player of the process; furthermore it addresses the different strategies of resistance presented by the catholic community, mostly defined by the national dynamics and the specifications of the region. Conclusions: the religious conflict in Sonora between 1926 and 1929 was characterized by the centralism of the feminist movement in the mobilization of the laity and by choosing pacifist ways to express their disagreements marked by the r notably bishop´s influence and by the use of the United States border as a strategic space for the Catholic resistance.
