We this five minutes of discussion i have had an epiphany, I finally understand why Mexico is so catholic. BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF ITS PEOPLE DONT KNOW WHAT CATHOLISISM IS!!!!!! I actually feel relieved. Here I am thinking that people actually believed all the things the church and the bible say, it is indeed a relief that people go to church only because they are told to and not because they believed all about it.
This kid is an example of hundreds of thousands of kids that live in the lower class or poverty in Guadalajara and that go to church only because it is the tradition. He didnt even know who Christ was!!!
In a way the church has gotten to a lot of people but for all the wrong reasons. It is only natural that the lower class is the most devote.

I agree to some extent, maybe they dont know who Christ is, or dont know of how the Church work, but they have someone or something to look up to..

Personally, more than relieved I am saddened by the fact that the only aspect of religion this kids come in contact with and can understand is the church. Because, in the end, the church is an institution ran by individuals, who like all humans can be corrupt or mean. As opposed to the true core of religion which, at least in theory, should be faith. And faith,cannot be seen or touched. It isn't something you can gain just be going to church.
