The Cross And The Compass: Freemasonry And Religious Tolerance In Mexico

The present book is an effort to understand the role of masonry in the introduction of freedom of worship in Mexico. With erudition, the author leads us through the stages ending with the victory of the liberal republic, headed by Benito Juárez, and the establishment thereby of freedom of worship, which made possible the insertion of American protestant missions in Mexico. Many Protestants brought not only their faith, but Freemasonry as well. - Dr. Adolfo Garcia de la Sienra Guajardo Director del Instituto de Filosofia - Universidad Veracruzana, México Presidente de la Sociedad Iberoamericana de Metodologia Económica This is a scholarly study, well documented, analyzing one of the most controversial themes in the history of Mexico.
