Subtitle of this chapter: Catholic vs. Masonic

Mussolini looked closely and saw that the editor-in-chief commentary article written by himself in the newspaper "The People of Italy". This article introduces readers to news events from Mexico.
The United States of Mexico is called the United States of America, just like the northern neighbors, but compared to the United States of America, it is a coffee table and a dining cabinet.
The Spanish came here in the sixteenth century, and they were accompanied by smallpox and God. Of course, their generous actions were rewarded with great rewards.
Two hundred years later, the situation in Europe changed drastically in the early nineteenth century. During the naval battle of Cape Trafalgar in 1805, the Spanish Invincible Armada was destroyed. In March 1808, Napoleon invaded Spain and overthrew the Bourbon dynasty and made his brother Joseph the king of Spain.
These two historical events made Spain lose its substantial control over the American colonies at the same time.
At the same time, the intellectuals and bourgeoisie in Mexico were inspired by the War of Independence and the French Revolution, and also hoped to get rid of Spain, the suzerain state.
In 1810, the Mexican War of Independence broke out...
However, the domestic situation and international situation during the independence of the United States and Mexico were very different.
In fact, comparing the founding of these two countries with subsequent history is like comparing China and India, which is very inspiring and very popular.
The Puritans of "Mayflower" were already inconsistent with their motherland. In addition, they also had the full support from France and Spain. Therefore, they uprooted the British from the thirteen North American states.
In contrast, Mexico, their bourgeoisie, almost all of them are Creo people, and they are descendants of early French and Spanish colonists. At that time, Mexico had a population of nearly 6 million, while the Creo people had only 1 million. However, they had huge economic interests, and they were all middle and low-level officers and priests.
Therefore, these vested interests are not so united about whether to overthrow Spanish colonial rule.
Therefore, the Mexican War of Independence not only delayed the defeat of 1821, but also did not completely get rid of the influence of Spain after the battle. The Creoles completely usurped all the achievements of this war. (Author’s note: If you are interested in this history, you can go to CNKI to check the "Analysis of the Mexican War of Independence".)
Due to the incompleteness of the revolution, this created a religious consequence. Article 3 of the first federal constitution of Mexico formulated in 1824 clearly stipulated that Mexico's state religion was and will always be Roman Catholicism, and at the same time, it prohibited other religions from activities in Mexico.
In contrast, Article 1 of the American Constitution Amendment prohibits the establishment of state religion and protects the people's religious freedom.
Just in this regard, if you look at the United States, Mexico and China and India, do you think it’s because of the praise?
In fact, Mexican intellectuals and political elites also realized this problem, especially after two great losses in Texas independence and the US-Mexico War.
Therefore, since the mid-nineteenth century, many senior Mexican government officials became members of the Freemasons.
Government policies quickly changed from the original support for Catholicism to extreme opposition to the power of the Church. Anti-Culturalism ideas in the government grew rapidly, especially in 1857, when they revised the constitution and began to write anti-Catholic clauses.
By 1917, Venustiano Carranza, the leader of the Constitutional Party, became Mexico's first constitutional president and promulgated the Constitution of 1917. Of course, he was also a member of the Freemason.
This constitution is even more hostile to Catholicism. Its provisions regard religious monasteries and priests born outside Mexico as illegal, and these groups and individuals are not allowed to operate in Mexico; it stipulates that all church property is managed by the government, and the government has the right to limit or even deprive Catholic clergy of their personal property.
What's more, the Mexican government also prohibits the church from engaging in any educational activities. Clergy wear religious clothes outside the church (such as white-collar workers wearing long gowns worn by priests, etc.), and priests who are "suspected against the government" are prohibited from holding religious ceremonies; all clergy must register with government departments and only then can they hold religious ceremonies at designated times and locations after being allowed, otherwise they will be imprisoned.
Back to Mussolini, as a staunch atheist and active anti-Cultist, the man in his Italian People's Daily applauded the Mexican comrades, calling it "abandoning the Catholic forces that hinder the progress of all progressive forces is the key step to the success of the revolution."
However, by 1921, his tone was not that high. However, this not-so-mature politician could not help but publish some anti-Catholic articles, especially liked to use Mexican news to secretly attack the Vatican.
In fact, this is not an exception. Many atheists have a sense of dual superiority in IQ and morality.
"Mr. Investigator, what does this matter have to do with your SCP Foundation?"
"Of course it's relevant!" Your Excellency Justice replied, "Masonic is our greatest enemy of life and death!"
He paused and continued, "What I'm talking about is to ask you to stop praising the Masonic community in Mexico."
"Ah? Why..." The upside-down man suddenly realized, "So your SCP Foundation is the church's...that's the accompanying organization?"
Mr. Chandler shook his head and said, "Of course not! How could we obey the orders of the church? We have nothing to do with Catholicism, Orthodoxism, Protestantism, Judaism and that kind of religion."
"Ho huh huh..." Mussolini couldn't help but laugh, "Then you don't believe in the "Minutes of the Presbyterian Church of Zion", which Jews founded Masonics to control the world, and what communist doctrines are also Jewish conspiracies, right?"
He tried hard to hold his smile and said, "Hahaha... Mr. Investigator, this is really funny..."
Your Excellency Justice said coldly: "Mr. Mussolini, is this really that funny?"
"Hahaha..." The upside-down man finally laughed and said, "Dang, of course it's that funny..."
He laughed so hard that tears flowed out. While wiping the corners of his eyes, he said in a sarcastic tone: "Lovely Mr. Investigator. Thank you for telling me such a funny joke!"
"You're welcome, dear Mr. Mussolini."
Mr. Chandler smiled slightly, reached into his inner pocket, took out a stack of photos, and threw them on the desk with a "slam".
"But after seeing these photos, do you still think my joke is funny?"
"Ha ha……"
The upside-down man picked up the photo.
"ha……"
He flipped it casually.
“…”
His laughter came to an abrupt end!
Mussolini looked at the photos without saying a word and then looked at the investigators of the SCP Foundation.
He suddenly stood up, opened the door vigorously, and shouted loudly to the outside: "Analdo..."
