During that same time period, the Knights of Columbus in Mexico was
instrumental in founding the League of the Defense of Religious Liberty
in Mexico, which organized economic boycotts and petition drives in
response to the persecution. When a civil war broke out between the
government and Catholics, the Knights of Columbus worked to bring about
peace. Standing in solidarity with the persecuted Catholics in Mexico,
the Knights raised funds for humanitarian relief of those displaced and
for the education of the American public about the horrific facts of
the persecution. A delegation of the Knights of Columbus even met with
President Calvin Coolidge in 1926 to discuss ways in which the U.S.
government could influence the Mexican government to end the
persecution.
