Mexico, with 83.9–91.89% of its 126 million people Catholic (100–110 million), is a global Catholic giant. The Archdiocese of Mexico City, established in 1530, oversees the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the world’s most-visited Marian shrine, drawing millions for the 1531 apparition’s feast. This event, blending indigenous and Catholic elements, defines Mexican identity. Mexico’s 6,500 parishes and vibrant traditions, like Day of the Dead Masses, reflect deep faith.
