“The reason this event takes place Reggie, is because Our Lady presented herself to a native Indian in Mexico in 1531, prompting the conversion of millions of human live baby sacrificing indians, to Jesus. There is a long beautifull history behind many traditions. She became the patron of the unborn.”

Furthermore, I’d add that the Spanish conquest of Mexico is almost inconceivable without the mass conversion of the Aztecs which followed the apparition. There simply weren’t enough conquistadores to overcome the determined resistance of so many millions of Aztecs.

Without the pacification of Mexico it’s hard to see Pizzaro’s conquest of Peru happening, without which Potosi is not discovered. Without the Spanish silver fleets, it hard to see the English investors backing the Virgina Companies.

So, without Guadalupe, it’s hard to see English-speaking settlement of the Americas.

It certainly was divine providence.
