Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] The conflict between State and Church that crosses revolutionary Mexico along the pontificates of Benedict XV and Pius XI represents a dramatic challenge for the Apostolic See. This challenge involves several members of the Sacred College, in various ways engaged in developing the ecclesial and political guidelines for the action of the Holy See overseas. Alongside the institutional offices where the members of the Curia are confronted - such as the Secretariat of State and since 1918 - the Congregation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs - on several occasions we witness the flowering of real "parallel diplomacies" based on relationships informal, reflecting the interests of the most radical sectors of Mexican Catholicism, in controversy with the moderate and conciliatory attitude repeatedly demonstrated by pontifical diplomacy against the Mexican anti-clerical government. The stated goal is to push the pontiff to adopt a position that is closer to the sensitivity of the intransigents.
