A gang of Catholics reportedly attacked Pentecostal Christians with rods and stones in Oaxaca, Mexico at the beginning of November.
The NCHR reported in a statement that the attacks were instigated by San Juan Ozolotepec President, Pedro Cruz Gonzalez, who “ordered the demolishing of their temple, the lynching, incarceration and torture of the followers of the religious congregation.”
Alfredo Alonso, whose family has been victimized for years under Cruz Gonzalez, said that in 2011, the leader had tried to shut down the construction of a Pentecostal church building. Gonzales had also threatened to expel other Christians from the city, and had blocked them from accessing government food aid programs.
In May, Cruz Gonzalez threatened to “burn [Christians] and throw their bodies into a canyon if they did not renounce their faith.” After Christians spoke up and called for state intervention, Cruz Gonzalez jailed a church member for speaking out.
“By the work of God we are still alive, because they beat us with all fury, even using iron rods and stones, and they threatened to burn us just for wanting to help our family members, who are victims of abuse of authority by the intolerant municipal president,” Alonso told Agencia JM.

Catholics have a very long history of persecuting Pentecostals!
After the Council of Nicaea they hunted oneness Christians down and killed millions.
It was so bad our people went underground for 300 years to escape persecution.

I am sure. I can tell you stories of Baptists attacking Pentecostals with tar, feather, poisonous snakes. And Presbyterians sometimes dressed as KKK.

Everyone who seeks to live a Godly life will be persecuted.

It`s very unfortunate to hear this going to that extend but God is above every gang that plans evil against the people of God of heaven.All in all, we are on the same boat fighting the forces of the dark world.By the grace of God, we have won the battle through our Lord Jesus Christ Amen.

That should let Pentecostals, know they have the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Because the devil attacks anyone or anything that isnt going the same way he is. You never bump into each other , going the same way. The same has been proven true with churches , teaching false doctrines.
