 The Mexican constitution prohibits outdoor worship except for circumstances that generally require government permission.Religious organizations may not own print or electronic media outlets, government permission is required to broadcast religious ceremonies, and ministers are prohibited from being political candidates or holding public office.The Catholic Church has recognized several of those killed in the Cristero War as martyrs, including the Blessed Miguel Pro, a Jesuit who was shot dead without trial by a firing squad on November 23, 1927 under false charges of involvement in an assassination attempt against former President Álvaro Obregón but really for his priestly activities in defiance of the government.
