 After the ouster of Huerta in 1914, the Catholic Church was the target of revolutionary violence and fierce anticlericalism by many northern revolutionaries.The Constitutionalist faction won the revolution and its leader, Venustiano Carranza, had a new revolutionary constitution drawn up, the Constitution of 1917.It strengthened the anticlericalism of the previous document, but President Carranza and his successor, General Alvaro Obregón, were preoccupied by their internal enemies and were lenient in enforcing the Constitution's anticlerical articles, especially in areas in which the Church was powerful.
