Anacleto González Flores (Tepatitlán, October 7, 1895 - Guadalajara, April 1, 1927) was a Mexican bliss.
González Flores was from a Catholic family from the state of Jalisco. He graduated from the Free Law School and joined the National Catholic Party (PCN) in 1913. In 1914 he was in Guadalajara when this city was taken by Revolutionaries of Álvaro Obregón, who closed church institutions because the clergy dictatorship of Victoriano Huerta had supported. González Flores became active in various organizations that opposed the anti-social policy of the post-revolutionary Mexican government, including Mexican Catholic Youth and the National League for the Defense of Religious Freedom (LNDLR).
At the outbreak of the cristero war, González Flores condemned the armed resistance, and argued that the Mexican government should only be combated peacefully. On March 31, he was arrested and tortured by the authorities in the hope that he could provide information about cristero leaders. One day later he was executed; the soldiers who had to fuse refused to kill him knowing that he had nothing to do with the cristeros so the officer had to stab him down.
In 2005, he was blessed by Pope Benedict XVI in Rome, along with two other victims of the Mexican Revolution.
