When Mexico resumed diplomatic relations with the Holy See in 1992, it repealed several anticlerical laws that had remained on the books. Specifically, the government removed provisions that proscribed the Jesuits and denied priests the right to vote.1
This move marked a significant shift in the relationship between the Mexican state and the Roman Catholic Church, effectively ending the era of official anticlericalism that had characterized much of the country's post-revolutionary history.1
