In a brief but suggestive passage of La Cristiada, Jean Meyer presents a thumbnail portrait of the revolutionary anticlerical of the 1920s: an urban northerner, white-collar professional, supporter of the Sonoran regime, admirer of the United States, Protestant sympathizer (if not an actual Protestant), and quite likely a freemason.1 These "men of the north" (Roberto Pesqueira) looked with disdain on "old Mexico"—the Indian, peasant, priest-ridden Mexico of the colonial heartland.2 With the Constitutionalist triumph and establishment of the Sonoran regime, northern men and values were imposed on the center; the result, Meyer eloquently recounts, was the Cristiada, the resistance of "old" Mexico to abrupt cultural and political imposition.
