The School professor of Theology Carmen-José Alejos Grau has published Una historia olvidada e inolvidable. Carranza, Constitución e Iglesia Católica en México (1914-1919), a document that studies the relations between the State and the Catholic Church in Mexico between 1914 and 1919, which reveals data ignored, that help the reconstruction of the history of Mexico during those years of Revolution.

Addressed to all those interested in the history of Mexico during the years of the Mexican Revolution and to scholars of Constitutional Law, the book aims to bring to light unpublished documentation from various Vatican and Mexican archives, in order to make known the different positions of revolutionary politicians and the Catholic hierarchy regarding religious freedom.

According to Professor Alejos Grau, "there is an abundant programs of study on the Mexican Revolution that began in 1910, however, the works on Church-State relations at that stage are scarcer, and very few are dedicated to analyze these relations from the ecclesiastical documentation. This has given rise to an important gap in the historical accounts of the events that took place in Mexico between 1910 and 1940".

Carmen-José Alejos Grau is a professor at School of Theology at the University of Navarra, and specializes in the history of religious ideas in Latin America.

The book can be downloaded online at the Library Services Virtual Jurídica website or requested by e-mailing calejos@unav.es.
