Entre el cielo y la tierra
Entre la luz y la oscuridad
Entre la fe y el pecado
Slo se encuentra mi corazn
Est Dios y slo mi corazn

BOY:
Corre! Corre! Corre!Compatriotas,
Mxico is under siege.
A plot as insidious
as it is dangerous
threatens our nation.
Outcasts from Rome
and from all over Europe
are coming into our country
to destabilize the government,
to poison the minds and hearts
of our people,
to turn them into fanatics
at the service of foreign interests.
This situation, this evil,
this threat
cannot be ignored,
and it will not be tolerated.
Therefore
I have instructed our Congress
to create a set of laws
designed to deal with
this national emergency.
Camine.
PRESIDENTE CALLES: Firstly,
every foreign-born bishop,
priest or minister
will be deported immediately.
Second, there will be
a five-year jail sentence
for any priest who criticizes
the government.
The wearing of religious vestments
in public is strictly forbidden.
Make no mistake.
This government is going to do
whatever is necessary
to preserve the dignity of Mxico,
the freedom of its people
and the immortal ideals
of La Revolucin Mexicana.
[ giggles ]
[ laughter ]
Muchachos!
Don't waste God's good food
making fun of me.
[ growls ]
[ growls ]
I-I'm ashamed of you.
He's a man of God.
Padre. Padre.
Jose will work for you
for the next two weeks, Padre.
Anything you need him
to do for the church.
That won't be necessary.
It was a harmless prank.
And I hear fruit is good for the hair.
I-I know that the priests
consider prayer a penitence,
but for a boy like my godson,
hard work is better.
Uh, you've no doubt,
uh, heard about the Calles Law.
Yes.
Just be careful about
wearing your cassock in public.
God save us from these heathens.
Have you had breakfast, Joselito?
Elodia makes wonderful chilaquiles,
will be here any minute.
Don't call me Joselito.
Oh, that's right.
You're tough.
I forgot.
The soldiers are coming into towns,
making sure the laws are being enforced.
I came from Europe over 70 years ago,
when I was just 7 years old.
Would they really kick out
an old man like me?
From what I hear,
they probably will.
There have been spontaneous
protests all over Mxico.
A resistance is forming,
and Rome, uh--Rome is taking
too long to respond.
An armed resistance?
Let's pray it doesn't come to that.
But...
[ sighs ]
It may become inevitable.
That's a mistake.
Our Savior is the Prince of Peace.
But the Bible also says
there is a time for peace,
a time for war.
to take away our freedom.
If need be,
we must stand up and resist.
Even if I were younger,
I would not fight.
You won't need to fight to help.
You can feed and shelter
the ones who come through.
Now, that I would do.
[ chuckles ]
Listo?
MAN:
Listo, Su Excelencia.His Holiness Pope Pius XI
condemns the Calles Law.
Beginning midnight on August 1 st,
all holy services in Mxico
will be suspended.
MAN:
No puede ser.[ chanting ]
Respeto derecho de fe!
Respeto derecho de fe!
What beautiful little girl is gonna
beat me in chess today?
Me.
- You?
- Yes.
Okay, we'll see.
Peridico! Peridico!
at the orders of President Calles
so the government
can make an inventory
and safeguard its contents.
Let's go.
The girls will not be able to get
their confirmation, Enrique.
