You folks are all pretty quick to condemn the government of France without addressing any historical/cultural perspectives. You should know that while France has longstanding Catholic traditions, since the revolution public has been distrustful of religious intrusion into secular life.

And the same goes in some Latin American nations. It may still be true that in Mexico Catholic priests were forbidden from wearing their robes at public/government/secular events. That's my understanding.
