1917 Constitution of Mexico
Everyone is free to embrace the religion of his choice and to practice all ceremonies,
devotions, or observances of his respective faith, either in places of public worship or at home,
provided they do not constitute an offense punishable by law.
Every religious act of public worship must be performed strictly inside places of public worship,
which shall at all times be under governmental supervision.
Religious institutions known as churches, regardless of creed, may in no case acquire, hold, or
administer real property or hold mortgages thereon; such property held at present either
directly or through an intermediary shall revert to the Nation, any person whosoever being
authorized to denounce any property so held. Presumptive evidence shall be sufficient to
declare the denunciation well founded.
