ssock of the papacy.Given the political
intrigues that plague the Vatican, it wasn't much of a stretch of
the imagination to wonder if some cardinals, bishops and monsignors not
to mention ordinary Catholics might continue making Benedict their point
of reference rather than the new pope.However, Benedict made clear on his
final day as pope that he was renouncing the job and pledged
his "unconditional reverence and obedience" to his then-unknown successor.
It was a pledge he repeated in person on March 23 when
Francis went to have lunch with him at Castel Gandolfo.It was during
that visit that the world saw how frail Benedict had become in
the three weeks since his emotional departure from the Apostolic Palace:
Always a man with a purposeful walk, he shuffled tentatively that day,
using his cane.Francis, for his part, seems utterly unfazed by the novel
situation unfolding. He has frequently invoked Benedict's name and work
and has called him on a half-dozen occasions, making clear he has
no intention of ignoring the fact that there's another pope still very
much alive and now living on the other side of the garden
from the Vatican hotel where he lives.Francis' gestures to Benedict during
that March 23 visit were also remarkable: He refused to pray on
the special papal kneeler in the small chapel of Castel Gandolfo, preferring
to join Benedict on a kneeler in the pews, and referring to
his predecessor as his "brother."Now that they'r

in the public discussion of the U.S.-Mexico relationship that lost in that
is the enormous commercial relationship between the two countries," said
Ben Rhodes, Obama's deputy national security adviser.Obama is expected to
call for the U.S. and Mexico to deepen trade ties to promote
job creation on both sides of the border. However, he is not
expected to announce any major new economic initiatives.Mexico was the second-largest
export market for U.S. goods in 2011, according to the office of
the U.S. trade representative. U.S. trade with Mexico totaled $500 billion
in 2011.White House aides say they also see strengthening Mexico's economy
as a way to address one of the root causes of much
of the illegal immigration to the U.S.Rhodes said the U.S. expects Pena
Nieto and other regional leaders to be largely supportive of the immigration
overhaul being debated on Capitol Hill, which includes provisions to strengthen
security at the 2,000-mile long border with Mexico.However, Carl Meacham,
a former senior Latin America adviser on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
said the U.S. immigration effort is viewed with "skepticism and confusion"
in the region."They've been brought to the altar so many times by
different American administrations that there's a bit of a lack of trust,"
said Meacham, who now works at the Center for Strategic and International
Studies.Getting Mexico's buy-in,
