MEYER, Jean. The Mexican Catholic Church in a global world. Let. hist. [online]. 2015, n.13, pp.169-190. ISSN 2448-8372.

An essay of synthesis, in a global perspective of World history, of the sometimes progressive and sometimes violent changes produced in the religious life of the Mexican Catholics and their Church; changes produced by decisions of the Holy See, i.e. the Roman Curie and the Pope, changes induced by Vatican II and results of the competition between a Church that had enjoyed a religious monopoly since the XVIth century and the young and dynamic Evangelical Churches.
