On July 30, 1926 Plutarco Elias Calles, the President of Mexico, had a conversation with two Bishops of Mexico, Pascual Diaz and Leopoldo Ruiz. In the correspondence made by Calles he tells the Bishops: “El único camino que existe para que todas estas dificultades terminen es que el clero se someta a esa ley...” Calles is warning the clergy to submit to the Mexican Constitution or there would be dire consequences.
