COMMENTARY

In response to mauro gut:

You are correct in stating that Mexico has a high Catholic population. 125,576,000 Mexicans identify themselves as Catholic (almost 90% of the population) making Mexico's Catholic population second only to Brazil. Other religious groups in Mexico are Protestant (6%) with other religious groups making up the remaining 5%.

You are wrong. We Italians are the most Catholic. We have the most Catholics and we are number one on the list.

It's true there are a lot of catholics around the world, but the only ones to have what is needed to defend God, Jesus and Freedom are the Spaniards.
