The Enciclopedia Hispánica explains: “Cristeros is the name given to Mexican Catholics who rebelled against President Plutarco Elías Calles in 1926 because of measures that he took against the church, such as closing down religious centers and buildings. ”
Teatmeteos „Enciclopedia Hispánica ” selgitab:„ Cristeros märgistas Mehhiko katoliiklasi, kes tõstsid aastal 1926 mässu president Plutarco Elías Callese vastu, sest ta rakendas selliseid kirikuvastaseid meetmeid nagu usukeskuste ja kultusehoonete sulgemine. ”
