Conference publication documenting the 5th annual assembly of the women’s branch of Mexican Catholic Action, a proclerical lay community action group made up of many of the smaller organizations, including the women’s brigades, that played an important part in the Cristeros armed conflict. That conflict ended in 1929 with a series of compromises between the church and state and the women’s orgs were newly centralized under the national group, supervised by the diocese. This conference index and speeches illustrate continued Catholic resistance against secular education and other socialist post-revolutionary government policies, including divorce (no) women’s emancipation (no) and civil marriage (no).
