Mexico is the largest spanish speaking country in the world, and is 90% nominally Catholic. However, many of the Catholics are culturally Catholic and only 10% actually attend church regularly. The major issues in Mexico are a result of poverty, corruption, and organized crime. 60 percent of Mexicans struggle with poverty and low income, and while there is a relatively high literacy rate, education is certainly lacking, particularly in the more rural areas. In the northern parts of Mexico, religious organizations are the victims of coercion from the drug cartels and other criminal organizations. Priests are often threatened with kidnapping or death if they do not give in to the demands of the criminal organizations. In the rural villages, unemployment and poverty are rampant. Often, family members will go to the United States to try and support their families back home, leaving those in the villages susceptible to drug abuse, poverty, and delinquency.
