“¡Viva Cristo Rey!” is not only a battle cry of the Cristeros, it’s a call to live a vibrant life in the faith. Jesús Padrón discusses the Catholic faith and Mexican identity, the art of enculturation & the mestiza appearance of Our Lady of Guadalupe, anti-clerical regimes and challenges faced by the Church in the Cristero War, the repercussions that still exist today, family and community as pillars of the faith in Mexican culture, the importance of living a vibrant faith, and his personal reflections on his experiences as a Mexican-American Catholic.
