PROTESTANTISMO Y POLITICA EN MEXICO 1951
que encontrara en los liberales un apoyo firme pero distante, pues ninguno
se convertira. Este protestantismo va a penetrar en las clases pobres de la
poblacion en vias de proletarizaci6n al servicio de las companias extran-
jeras. El ingeniero ingles o norteamericano, el comerciante, el c6nsul y el
misionero seran los simbolos del hombre redimido por el capitalismo.
Convertiran a los obreros "diciendoles que para ser cristianos tenian que
dejar el trago y cuidar a su familia". 8 Las congregaciones emergen en
ciudades como Villa de Nava, Coahuila, donde "el ranmomercantil asi
como el agricola se desarrollan con mayor animaci6n que antes y donde
las aspiraciones y el celo de los habitantes en cuanto al lucimiento y pros-
peridad de su pueblo estan en competencia" 9 y donde las congregaciones
evangelicas tienen "todas las caracteristicas de estas sociedades bien sos-
tenidas, donde la gente es puntual, se viste limpiamente y tiene el espiritu
en buen estado".'0
Con el porfiriato estos pueblos modernizados se van a duplicar bajo la
inversion del capitalismo norteamericano, el protestantismo y el inversio-
nista penetrando lado a lado.
