Then let's be specific:
Our Lady of Guadalupe is, for many, at the root of Mexico's national identity and its contemporary faith. Mexicans venerate her image, which is both a religious and cultural symbol. It decorates murals, storefronts, even niches in front of houses in Hispanic neighborhoods.
Thousands of pilgrims flock to Mexico's basilica daily to pray to an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, some crawling for blocks on their hands and knees.
The controversy has threatened to result in a religious backlash. "All this back-and-forth, this war of accusations discredits the church as an institution," said Fabiola Guarnero, a religious analyst.
But pilgrims still flock to the basilica by the thousands, more focused on asking the Virgin of Guadalupe for miracles than the controversy that swirls around her. - CNN
Do you feel the Church should approve or disapprove of venerating an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe. (Please note they are venerating an image-not the Virgin of Guadalupe herself.)
