Pope will meet a more modern Mexico

When Pope Benedict XVI arrives in Mexico, he will be greeted by a changing religious landscape in Latin America and the also the Mexican capital.

Mexico City residents have been struggling to reconcile their views on social issues such as abortion, same-sex marriage and divorce, with the church’s long-held principles.

In fact, there is growing criticism of perceptions of clerical impositions by a growing number of Mexican Catholics.
