The present situation with Bishop Fellay one man agreement with Rome, going against the advice of 3/4 of the bishops chosen by Abp. Lefevbre, reminds me of the Cristeros and how they were betrayed by the pope (whether he was ill advised, or he knew what he was doing is irrelevent). They could not be defeated in the battlefield, but lost the war at the negotiation table.

"Word came from Pius XI to the Cristeros asking them to lay down their arms. Over the next three months, in obedience to the Holy Father, some more reluctantly than others, that is exactly what they did."

Betrayal, Persecution, and Mass Executions

But within a few months of the arreglos, signs emerged that all was not well. A significant number of churches, schools, and rectories remained in government hands. Ruiz y Flores and Diaz attempted to meet with the president but were ignored. When they at last met with Portes Gil's successor, Pascual Ortiz Rubio (also handpicked by Calles) and asked him to honor his predecessor's promises, they were told that Portes Gil had promised nothing.

Meanwhile, the Cristeros who were not willing to move out of their states were taken prisoner and executed. The "annihilation of Catholic militants after the 1929 agreement" (Bailey, Viva Cristo Rey!, 294) lasted for several years. There were mass executions in Jalisco, and reports of Cristero veterans being hunted down and killed lasted until the 1950s. It is not known how many thousands of them lost their lives after the war had been declared over.

Catholics sell each other out or chicken out.  That's what's been going on for a long, long time now.  That's how things reached this point.

Catholics who put the world first, or who think they can compromise with known enemies, continually act as destroyers of Catholic Tradition.
