When the poster for the video titled, Nicaragua, alludes to Mexico, he is referring to the Cristero War, 1926-1929. On May 21, 2000, Pope St. John Paul II canonized 25 saints and martyrs of the Cristero War. Most were Catholic priests. Above are pictures of five: (1) Margarito Flores Garcia, 28, (2) Tranquiliano Ubiarco Robles, 29, (3) Agustin Caloca Cortes, 29, (4) Roman Adame Rosales, 68, and (5) Cristobal Magallanes Jara, 57. https://aleteia.org/2019/06/28/these-5-martyr-priests-make-perfect-intercessors-as-we-pray-for-the-priesthood/ The article from Aleteia describes how the government murdered them. Aleteia is an online Catholic news and information website that I have used many times. “On October 5, 1928, he was captured while saying a nuptial Mass for a young couple. Father Tranquiliano was taken outside to the front of the house and hanged from a mango tree. The soldiers made the bride, the groom, and the several guests who were there watch the young priest die.”
