Many students of religion believe that Guadalupe and the other traditions of Mary worship are the veiled resurrection of those female divinities that were lost. It is not a coincidence that the small Mexican hill where Guadalupe now sits, half a millenium before, was a shrine to the Aztec mother goddess. It may also not be a coincidence that in a church where only men can be Popes and priests, that so many chose to worship the image of a woman - young, poor, and humble. Please consider forwarding it along to those who might be interested. Suggestions and comments are welcome.
