For your information, several years ago an article appeared in The St. Louis Review, Catholic newspaper, in which this story about Guadalupe was admitted to have been made up for political-religious reasons. I was stunned to see it but pleasantly surprised that they came clean on the issue.

Needless to say, I dont subscribe to that point of view, apparently nearly every Pope since Benedict XIV in the 1700's has honored Our Lady of Guadalupe, Pope John Paul II was the first to visit the Basillica in 1979.
