Personally I think there are about as many true Catholics Christians as there true Protestant Christians. Your theology might be a little different than mine but the belief in Christ as Savior and Lord is there. Personally I would have more problems with some of the Protestant belief systems than I would Catholicism but I think that it has been the work of Satan himself to destroy the catholic(one true) church(not the denomination).

That being said I do have a question

I ardently desire that a temple be built here for me

The statement is a little troubling in that why should he build a temple for Mary? Again, not an attack, just a theological question

I'm not going to attempt to parse the words of an apparition of Mary to some poor Mexican peasant.

The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe honors Christ through His Mother.

The Mother always points to Her Son. Always.

The fact that some choose to develop an almost superstitious adoration of Mary is contrary to her wishes and her behavior in Scripture.
