9/4/2023 0 Comments September 04th, 2023Father Pedro Esqueda Ramirez was severely tortured after his arrest, on November 18, 1927, for being a practicing Catholic priest during the Cristero War (1926–29), when the Church was outlawed and Catholics were persecuted and executed by the Mexican government. "Now you must be sorry for being a priest," one soldier said to him after a horrendous beating. "No, not a moment, and I have but a little time before I see Heaven," the priest answered serenely. Dragged from prison to his place of execution, on November 22, 1927, the priest was surrounded by Catholic children, distraught about his fate. "Do not stop studying the catechism, nor leave the Christian doctrine at all," the priest repeated to those who walked beside him to the outskirts of Teocaltitlán, Jalisco, where he was shot with three bullets that ended his earthly life and began his eternal life.

After imprisoned for three days, without food or water, the priest was dragged to a nearby cemetery, where a noose was placed around his neck. He was repeatedly tortured by being lifted by his neck, but lowered before he died. When one of the soldiers, who had been baptized by the priest, refused to participate in the torture, he was shot. After the guns jammed and did not fire in a failed attempt to shoot the priest, commander Anastasio Valdivia took a knife and slit the throat of Father José Isabel Flores Varela, in the early morning hours of June 21, 1927.  8/31/2023 0 Comments August 31st, 2023National Socialist firing squads execute ethnic Polish prisoners, in retaliation for the death of one German soldier.  8/31/2023 0 Comments August 31st, 2023Returning from celebrating Mass, on May 31, 1928, Franciscan Friar Father José Pérez was stopped by the federal soldiers, who roped the priest and tied him to one of the horses.

"Yes, I am," admitted the priest, dressed in peasants clothing, during the Cristero War, when Catcholicism and Catholics were outlawed. Arrested, the priest was presented to General José Ignacio Flores, who ordered the execution of the Catholic clergyman. As he walked to his death, by the stables, he pulled his rosary from his pocket and began praying.
