"Benedict, brother, you are already a Mexican"-this is how thousands of Catholic Mexicans greeted Pope of Rome Benedict XVI at the airport in Guanjato, reports the BBC.

This is the first visit that Benedict XVI is making to Mexico, which has a population of 95 million Catholics.

Before the visit, Benedict XVI gave a speech in which he criticized the high rate of drug sales in Mexico.
