The movies early responded to this and provided the delectable pleasures of Park Avenue, the European resorts, and all that goes with them under a rosy hue. It was all represented as a glorious Paradise right here on earth...
...Cried Chief Tabasco Delegate Arnulfo Perez: "Where is the God who cannot see the lack of food and all the misery of the common people but can see the pomp and splendor of the Pope? . . . God did not create man. . . . God exists only in books, by which the priests exploit the poor! Man created God, and God only exists in petrified souls. . . . Mexico wants no God and our Party wants...
