‘Traditionalist Catholics’ Attack, Expel Christians in Mexico

“Traditionalist Catholic” leaders last month expelled 57 evangelical Christians from towns in two states for refusing to participate in their religious festivals.

Leaders of traditionalist Catholicism, a mixture of Roman Catholicism and native rituals, expelled 32 Christians from their homes in a village in Hidalgo state and another 25 from a town in Oaxaca; in each case, the evangelicals were deprived of their property for refusing to participate in drunken festivals that included worship of Catholic icons.

Traditionalist Catholicism:

The extreme religious sect which fuelled the passion of Mel Gibson

Religion has always made for good box office returns, from Ben Hur to Field of Dreams. Mel Gibson's new movie, The Passion of the Christ, which opens in the UK on Friday, was made with $30 million ( £16 million) of his own money but it has already returned ten times that sum in its first month's screening in the US.
