...reality of Mexico.'' So, alas, it has. When the President stepped forward before 300 million TV viewers around the globe to open the quadrennial soccer tournament three weeks ago, his speech was drowned out by an almost unprecedented chorus of boos. A few days later, Mexico City's huge Aztec Stadium, unfilled even during a major game, ran out of water. At one point its official clock broke down; at another, the sound system went dead just before the playing of the Mexican national anthem.

Santa Muerte's precise origins are a matter of debate. Some experts say its roots lie with Aztec spiritual rituals that mixed with Catholicism during Spanish colonial rule.

Residents of crime-tossed neighborhoods like Mexico City's Tepito began revering Santa Muerte more than Jesus Christ, experts say. Some of its devotees eventually split from the Catholic church...
