"The idea, repeated today, that Aarón was guilty of immorality but protected because of his connection with , is absurd. It is doubtful that Calles even knew of La Luz del Mundo during his time in office. Later, some local politicians in Guadalajara did speak favorably of the early church—not to win votes, but because they saw its impact. Members in their Hermosa Provincia settlement avoided alcohol, promoted education, and lifted themselves out of poverty. They were, in short, model citizens. Yet the rumors persisted. As the church grew, so did its internal tensions."
