Catholics are not a homogeneous group, just look at this country. While the church hierarchy here is staunchly conservative, that is not an absolute representation of Catholic laymen which are essentially equally divided among conservatives and liberals.

Another thing is that Mexico, despite being like 99% Catholic, has also historically had much stronger separation between church and state than the US has had, though it's been eroding in recent decades. And while this is a macho, Catholic country, it seems like homophobia here is more of the passive, bro-dude "that shit's gross" kind, where people don't like gay people and make fun of them but kind of end it there, than the activist homophobia you get in the US. I can't imagine something like Chick-Fil-A Day happening in Mexico.

In Mexico, as in most of Western Europe, you can have a church wedding if you want, but you must also have a civil ceremony. By the way, most catholic priests in Mexico, require proof that you already got married in a civil ceremony or that it will be performed right after the church wedding before the agree to perform the marriage.

Would be nice if they could get abortion made legal outside of Mexico City, though.

Probably right around the same time it owns up to its genocidal origins and makes reparations to the few Native Americans who remain; i.e., when hell freezes over.

It's because the US is where the rest of the world dumped their religious loonies. :)
