Macrolimosna is the name utilized by the Mexican press for the 90 million peso donation (roughly 8 million U.S. dollars) to the Catholic Church by Catholic Jalisco governor Emilio González Márquez in 2008. After several public protests, the Cardinal Sandoval advised the Committee pro-construction of the Cristero Sanctuary to return the 30 millions already given. Cardinal Sandoval called the critics of the macrolimosna "radicals". The funds were returned to the government including financial gain that bank gave the church, which was more than half a million pesos.
