José M. Murià: The light of the world, almost centenary

P

or minority and for his birth Tapatío, among many other qualities that would be too long to mention, I keep augued by the church called the world’s light, for many of his faithful and some of his leaders.

In front of the two -time millenary Christianity, the almost centenary Religion can be insignificant, but there is such growth during the last half century, especially for the Latin world, including the one that corresponds to the United States and Canada, that its presence turns out to be increasingly significant.

Now it seems to go stern, but the endemic intolerance of many Catholics that suppose that yours is the only one worthwhile and that the others have no right to exist, it has given rise to the fact that, in the past, it has had not a few setbacks.

However, in Guadalajara, despite having been So blessedas they say, he found respect and even a certain government support and, of course, of other sectors that, at some point and in different ways, we have been his victims and suffered the gather of very radical groups attached to the Catholic Church.

It is the case that, currently, as I said, four weeks ago, in these same pages, that its parishioners around the world – but mostly in Guadalajara, the rest of Mexico and also of the Spanish -speaking world – it exceeds six million. This is appropriate to reiterate it, despite some traps that he has been a victim. And, in addition, everything indicates that the number continues to grow.

One of the worst aggressions is the one that set up a distinguished member of a very important Catholic group that, in addition, was a raised character of the Californian Judiciary and now is the entire Government Pillasre that commands in the White House.

That is, it is part of THE TRUMPADA JIJOS. The result is that the leader of the whole church has been unfairly in a California prison and some have not even allowed us to greet him.

There are even places like Honduras where it is said that this creed is majority, as well as in some important parts of older countries, such as the Medellín region in Colombia. Not surprisingly, this population is already becoming a kind of second capital of the world with special interference in northern South America and the Caribbean.

Tomorrow, August 10, in the Great Colony called Beautiful province to the East of Guadalajara, which has long achieved great relevance, as corresponds to its main role, the main annual celebration will be held.

But it should be stressed that this occasion has a greater meaning, because encouraged by the general cult of the decimal metric system, a year of intense activities will begin everywhere to celebrate that in 2026 an exact century of the birth of the organized practice of said creed in the pearl of the West will be fulfilled.

Obviously, the newspapers of that time did not give any news of it. Its origin could not be more modest, but the important and remarkable thing is that it did not take long to be felt and, just three decades later, the Guadalajara City Council gave him an abandoned middle peanut property, located to the East, so that his main headquarters were formally established there.

The celebration is made in the main temple, built in the 80s, which is found in the center of the Beautiful province And, incidentally, it has an extraordinary artistic value that, as with some Catholic temples, also encourage visitors to appreciate their aesthetic and architectural value.

Also, many who do not share their religion, do not stop admiring the socioeconomic balance that prevails in the colony, where no one is so poor or so richbut all enjoy the indispensable services that any city deserves in our time, both doctors, and social and cultural. What Benito Juárez, a character that they respect a lot, called the Decent mediated.

Anyway, tomorrow, the East of Guadalajara will be adorned with the beginning of a great celebration of the first centenary of the Church called The Light of the World, which founded a natural lord in northern Jalisco, who arrived from Monterrey, and has already extended by a good part of the world.
