In Mexico, as in every country in the Hispanic tradition, the Church is subordinate to the state.
On paper, at least.
No, in reality. The Inquisition was a state institution which employed the a church court against its enemies. The Bourbon reforms of the 18th century transferred church assets into the hands of the state, and Mexico continued this policy with greater or less degree of anti-clericalism. Many priests, especially those from families closely connected to the state, attach an almost sacerdotal significance to the state, whether it be a liberal or a monarchial state.
