The cover design has angered Catholics because of the woman's uncanny resemblance to Our Lady of Guadalupe.

How do they know what Guadalupe Lady looks like in the first place?

” How do they know what Guadalupe Lady looks like in the first place?”


The image is from St. Juan Diego’s Tilma, or cloak, which is on display in the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City. It’s a famous image and story.

That sounds like a question that Hillary asked in 2009, “who painted it?”

She left a picture in 1531 on a poncho with should have disintegrated within a few years. The image is filled with symbolism from the sun and moon to the stars on her mantle which are in the position they were in the sky on Dec 13, 1531. If the image is highly magnified, 13 people may be seen to be reflected in her eyes, they are those who were present at the time the tilma (poncho) was unfurled.

Are you not aware of all the scientific experiements done on the tilma of St. Juan Diego when he followed Mary’s instruction, picked roses in the winter, went to the bishop for the second time and dumped out the roses??

The image was miraculously embedded on the tilma of cactus threads which should have scientifically decayed by now — but it is still all there even today.

A bomb was set off to destroy the tilma, enclosed in glass, and candlesticks were bent, and other surrounding furnishing destroyed, but the tilma and its case were not harmed.

Scientists have also discovered in the eyes of the image, a reflective (like a camera negative — old fashioned) and the image cannot be explained by the scientists because it has the Bishop and all those whom St. Juan Diego was facing in her eyes.

Links with a lot more details in the next post.

PS. If the scientists believe this is a miracle, why can’t other people.

One funny thing with this: When Hillary Clinton was visiting the church, she asked, “Who painted it?”

There are no traces of paint of brush strokes on the tilma at all. Hillary goofed big time with Catholics.
