Jaime M. Pensado. Love and Despair: How Catholic Activism Shaped Politics and the Counterculture in Modern Mexico
A multimodal approach to grammatical aspect: Embedded depictions and their aspectual characteristics as interactional resources
This paper offers a multimodal approach to grammatical aspect, traditionally seen in linguistics as a verbal-morphological category. Using conversation analysis and interactional linguistics, we take as our object of study turn completions done with bodily movements and non-lexical vocalizations, focusing on the aspectual information they construct, and how this information is oriented to as relevant to the trajectory of action underway. We argue…

C atholic M obilizations in T wentieth -C entury M exico: From Pious Lynchings and Fascist Salutes to a “Catholic 1968,” Maoist Priests, and the Post-Cristero Apocalypse
This special issue, fruit of an American Historical Association panel on the entanglements of Catholicism and nationhood after Mexico's Cristero War (1926-29), offers five new histories that cumulatively give the lie to anything so monolithic as a twentieth-century “Catholic history.” As is well known, the Cristero War was a major armed confrontation between the Church and the postrevolutionary state and their respective bases, followed, as the s…
Ceremonial Ayahuasca in Amazonian Retreats—Mental Health and Epigenetic Outcomes From a Six-Month Naturalistic Study
Ayahuasca is a natural psychoactive brew, used in traditional ceremonies in the Amazon basin. Recent research has indicated that ayahuasca is pharmacologically safe and its use may be positively associated with improvements in psychiatric symptoms. The mechanistic effects of ayahuasca are yet to be fully established. In this prospective naturalistic study, 63 self-selected participants took part in ayahuasca ceremonies at a retreat centre in the …
Reduced Activity in an Inpatient Liaison Psychiatry Service During the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic: Comparison With 2019 Data and Characterization of the Sars-CoV-2 Positive Cohort
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic led to changes in the way that healthcare was accessed and delivered in the United Kingdom (UK), particularly during the peak of the first lockdown period (the "first wave") beginning in March 2020. In some patients, COVID-19 is associated with acute neuropsychiatric manifestations, and there is suggestion that there may also be longer term neuropsychiatric complications. Despite this, at the time of writing ther…

The Catholic Enlightenment: The Forgotten History of a Global Movement by Ulrich L. Lehner
Su hija Inés”: Católicas laicas, el obispo Luis María Martínez, y el conflicto religioso michoacano, 1927-1929
Este artículo pretende contribuir a la historia de la rebelión cristera (1926-1929) en Michoacán y a la historia del catolicismo laico en México. Argumenta que la persecución religiosa desatada por el gobierno callista creó un gravísimo problema eclesial para la Iglesia mexicana, al decapitar la estructura eclesiástica. Por lo mismo, la Iglesia tuvo que defenderse redefiniéndose como iglesia, cediendo espacios y facultades eclesiásticos a los seg…
Father, Where Art Thou? Catholic Priests and Mexico's 1929Relación de Sacerdotes
This article studies an ecclesiastical census, the Relación de sacerdotes, that was compiled by the Secretariat of the Interior during Mexico's Cristero War in 1929. We propose that this statistical device ultimately helped the Catholic Church and the Portes Gil government to plot a way out of the religious crisis. It did so by providing a mutually acceptable means for priests to register with the postrevolutionary state and by providing a discur…

This publication is important; first, because of the historical and contemporary centrality of religion in the life of Latin America; second, for the rapid process of religious change which the region is undergoing; and third, for the region's religious distinctiveness in global comparative terms, which contribu…

Mexican Nicodemus: The Apostleship of Refugio Padilla, Cristero , on the Islas Marías
This article explores lay responses to religious persecution during Mexico's cristero rebellion (1926–1929), using devotional testimonies produced by Catholic deportees to the Islas Marías penal colony, Nayarit. Faced with the Calles regime's anticlericalism, the article argues that Mexico's episcopate developed an alternative religious model premised on a revitalized lay apostolate; the article then considers how lay actors enacted this identity…
Sotanas Rojinegras: Catholic Anticlericalism and Mexico's Revolutionary Schism
As the recent clashes in Mexico City's metropolitan cathedral show, it is not just clericalism that is making an apparent comeback in post- priísta Mexico: clericalism's faithful alter ego, anticlericalism—provoked to violence when clanking church bells disturbed a political rally in the zócalo in November 2007—is also stirring anew. This dialectical affinity between rival ideological traditions goes back a long way, as historic clashes over chur…

God'sCampesinos? Mexico's Revolutionary Church in the Countryside
While revolutionary attempts to eradicate religion have been well studied, this article explores a little-known attempt to construct state hegemony within the religious sphere by founding a revolutionary Church (the Iglesia Católica Apostólica Mexicana, or Mexican Catholic and Apostolic Church) in 1925. The article first explores the agrarian ideology of the schism, conceived as a revolutionary form of spiritual modernisation. It then charts the …

The 'Liberal' Cristero: Ladislao Molina and the Cristero Rebellion in Michoacán, 1927-9
This article studies the Mexican cristero rebellion of 1926-9. While scholars assert that the rebellion was the product of a clash between 'modern' liberal and 'traditional' Catholic mentalities, it is argued here that Ladislao Molina was an astute political actor who embraced a liberal ideology in order to establish a cacicazgo in his home region of Michoacán. When Molina was threatened by state encroachments and agrarian demands, he, like other…
The Church in ‘Red Mexico’: Michoacán Catholics and the Mexican Revolution, 1920–1929
This article recreates the everyday experiences of rural Catholics in Mexico during the Church–State crisis of the 1920s and the cristero revolt (1926–9) against Mexico's post-revolutionary regime. Focusing on the archdiocese of Michoacán in western Mexico, the article contends that the 1920s should be viewed not only as a period of political tension between Church and State, but as a period of attempted cultural revolution when the very beliefs …

Revolution and the Ritual Year: Religious Conflict and Innovation in Cristero Mexico
This article analyses Catholic responses to persecution of the Church by the Mexican state during Mexico's cristero rebellion (1926-9) and seeks to make a new contribution to the revolt's religious history. Faced with the Calles regime's anticlericalism, the article argues, Mexico's episcopate developed an alternative cultic model premised on a revitalised lay religion. The article then focuses on changes and continuities in lay - clerical relati…

Keeping the Faith in Revolutionary Mexico: Clerical and Lay Resistance to Religious Persecution, East Michoacán, 1926-1929
This article analyses the character of local religious practice in the archdiocese of Michoacán during Mexico's cristero rebellion, and explores the relationship between ‘official’ and ‘popular’ religion under persecution. In particular, it shows how the Catholic clergy and laity reconstructed the religious life at parish level in an attempt to mitigate the effects of the revolutionary state's campaigns against the Church. For a variety of reason…
