Roderick Ai Camp has recently published an article in
Latin American Research Review , Vol29#3:69-100
(1994) that presents data on the relationship between
religious behavior and ideology, and politics.
He questions the widespread view that
church attendance in Mexico is low. He states:
"...Mexicans are religious, do attend church regularly, and
place substantial confidence in the church..." (75).
Hope this reference helps.
