The refacciones crafter at home in the virgin of guadalupe.
The Virgin of Guadalupe solves every problem possible. So the TV was transmitted by the company Televisa, La rosa de Guadalupe, which highlights the miracles as they say, the virgin does. A teenager uses drugs and has a bad relationship with his family, his life suddenly changes after her mother goes to the Virgin for the situation to improve. One of the chapters that aired recently. The media in Mexico are provided to spread the Catholic religion and reveals the research entitled "Communication, religion and power" that made Carlos Villa, Department of Social Communication Studies (DECS) of the University of Guadalajara. The teacher poses in his research that "some contents of the scripts (of such programs) have been adapted including any concerns or suggest feature that religious practices." Catholicism, a salable Carlos Villa said that the reason for the television to spread Catholicism is exclusively due to ratings. "Broadcasters do not have among its tasks indoctrinate in any religion or faith, just take care of their business." According to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), until the year 2000, 88 percent of the total Mexican population claimed to be Catholic. In a country of Catholics, it is religion a salable product, but also a political marketing strategy in the refacciones crafter.
"Some actors are sold as Catholic believers and this will sum points that create empathy among the electorate". That's why those who aspire to elected office some do not lose the opportunity to include in their campaigns some manifestation of religious fervor, whether real or fictional. In 2000, then-presidential candidate of Mexico, Vicente Fox took a banner of the Virgin of Guadalupe in a public ceremony. In 2006, the candidate for governor of Jalisco by the PRI, Arturo Zamora, went to the Basilica of Zapopan to "receive the blessing of the Virgin" and then PAN candidate, Emilio Gonzalez, plus also go to the Basilica, is Jalostotitlán moved to the municipality of Santo Toribio Romo ask your heavenly interference to reach Casa Jalisco. The researcher says that this relationship between media with religion and power took hold in Mexico from alternation. "From that time many Mexican religious conservatism currents agreed to the PAN, who was noted for practicing this ideology, but is associated with political projects ... besides the church does press for media campaigns undertaken against public policy or government actions which does not feel identified ".
An example of this, says the teacher Villa, are the statements issued by President Felipe Calderon in relation to the Sixth World Meeting of Families, which shows its affinity to the Church. "Saw this Congress how the president was also provided to send a message that tacitly blamed family breakdown, specifically to people who divorce, blamed them beget children who then go to the crime." A clearer example exists in Jalisco, where the governor, the state budget granted to the Archdiocese of Guadalajara and the company Televisa, in the refacciones crafter, evidence their relationship with the Church and the media. This alliance between media, religion and power, had not been carried out not to be a passive society. The researcher said that "Religion is a strategy that is very uncritical way for a population which has very low levels of education, accustomed to direct it, is fertile ground." Besides passivity, is the historical context of society tapatía what keeps so religious and so susceptible, because in this city, says the teacher, more weight was where colonialism had settled and where the descendants of the conquerors. "We've always had a Catholic population, since the time of the conquest, but in 2000 they opened the door. All because religion was imposed by force the Indians, they had no choice, or had trouble hanging. That is the origin of a country by imposing Catholic born and in which his Catholicism is strengthened during the colonial period. " Religion in the soup also to be present as a cult, religion has become a fundamental part of society Guadalajara, to take root in everyday activities, even if not Catholic. "We have created an atmosphere of religious accent that almost all Mexicans breathe but not religious ... Our social and cultural practices are closely linked to religious issues: Christmas, Lent, weddings ... a society we engage with these cultural practices become part of religion, "says the Master Villa
