A reference encyclopedia article on the 1871 Liberal Revolution in Guatemala led by Miguel Garcia Granados and Justo Rufino Barrios, covering its anticlerical program in specific dated acts: the 3 September 1871 expulsion of the Jesuits, the 17 October 1871 expulsion of the Archbishop of Guatemala and the Bishop of Teya for backing a conservative uprising, the 22 December 1871 abolition of the mandatory tithe, the May to June 1872 confiscation of religious-order property and suppression of the remaining regular orders, the March 1873 subordination of secular clergy to civil courts and decree of freedom of worship, and the 1879 constitutional prohibition on establishing new monasteries. Citations trace to named nineteenth-century Guatemalan government decrees and standard secondary histories of the Liberal Reform period.
