Answer:

Catholic

Step-by-step explanation:

"With some exceptions, the period from the late 1930s to the late 1960s was one of comparative church–state conciliation [in Mexico], and a period of institutional collaboration that began when both institutions stood down their militant cadres in the 1930s. In subsequent decades, an over-clericalized and socially conservative church and a theoretically revolutionary but undemocratic state made common cause around the poles of civic and Catholic nationalism, economic stability, and anti-communism."
