The Catholic News Agency (CNA) portal reports on December 11, 2025, about the historical location where the image allegedly imprinted on the cloak of Juan Diego during the purported apparitions of “Our Lady of Guadalupe” in Mexico (1531). The article emphasizes architectural history and restoration efforts of the former archbishop’s palace in Mexico City, while uncritically promoting the “Guadalupe event” as supernatural. A certain “Fr.” José de Jesús Aguilar (described as “Archdiocese of Mexico” priest) promotes pilgrimage to this site despite civil authorities rejecting religious monuments there. The report mentions “St.” John Paul II’s blessing of a sculpture related to this cult and concludes with an exhortation to spread knowledge of “this fact.” The entire narrative constitutes syncretic paganism masquerading as Catholic devotion.
Theological Contradictions of Unapproved Apparitions
The article presents the Guadalupe narrative as historical fact despite its status as private revelation never formally approved by the pre-conciliar Magisterium. As established in the False Fatima Apparitions document: “Private revelations (even approved ones) do not have the guarantee of the Church’s infallibility.” The CNA report commits the grave error of equating popular piety with dogmatic certainty, ignoring the Church’s constant teaching that revelatio publica (public revelation) ceased with the death of the last Apostle (Denzinger 1801). Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane condemned the modernist error that “revelation could be something permanent” (proposition 21), which this Guadalupe mythology directly enables.
Syncretism and Indigenous Pagan Roots
Historical evidence confirms the Guadalupe cult originated as a syncretic adaptation of the Aztec fertility goddess Tonantzin, whose temple stood at Tepeyac. Bernardino de Sahagún’s 16th-century Florentine Codex documents how natives continued worshipping Tonantzin under the Marian guise – a fact suppressed by the article. This constitutes religious relativism condemned by Pius XI in Quas Primas: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states… the entire human society had to be shaken.” The Guadalupe phenomenon exemplifies the very “Christian-Islamic syncretism” condemned in the False Fatima Apparitions analysis, replacing it here with indigenous pagan fusion.
Disregard for Authentic Ecclesiastical Authority
The report references “St.” John Paul II’s blessing of a sculpture – a blasphemous attribution given the conciliar antipopes’ manifest heresies. As the Defense of Sedevacantism file demonstrates through Bellarmine and Canon 188.4, “a Pope who is a manifest heretic, by that very fact ceases to be Pope.” The article’s promotion of WojtyÅ‚a’s actions constitutes communicatio in sacris with heretics, condemned by Pius XII (Ecclesia Catholica, 1949). Moreover, the “Archdiocese of Mexico” mentioned has no canonical status, being part of the conciliar sect’s counterfeit hierarchy established after Paul VI’s invalid episcopal consecrations.
Naturalistic Reduction of Supernatural Truth
Nowhere does the article mention the sine qua non condition for authentic Marian apparitions: conformity with immutable Catholic doctrine. Instead, it focuses on architectural details and bureaucratic restoration efforts – classic conciliar reduction of religion to anthropology. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemned the proposition that “miracles are fiction of poets” (proposition 7), yet the CNA report treats the alleged tilma miracle as cultural heritage rather than supernatural sign. This naturalism stems directly from Vatican II’s Gaudium et Spes heresies, which subordinated divine truth to human experience.
Omission of Required Discernment Criteria
The article completely ignores the Church’s rigorous process for evaluating alleged apparitions, codified by Benedict XIV and strengthened by Leo XIII. Authentic Marian manifestations must:
- Promote increase of faith, hope, and charity (Gal 5:22-23)
- Inspire obedience to legitimate pastors (Heb 13:17)
- Produce enduring spiritual fruits (Mt 7:16-20)
Instead, the Guadalupe cult has spawned nationalist idolatry and doctrinal indifferentism. As the False Fatima Apparitions analysis notes regarding similar phenomena: “The efficacy of Holy Mass is diminished in favor of spectacular acts.” Mexico’s 90% apostasy rate since 1531 proves this devotion’s spiritual sterility.
Conclusion: Return to Christ the King
This Guadalupe mythology exemplifies the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Regnum Christi (Kingship of Christ) for paganizedæ°‘ä¿—ä¿¡ä»°. As Pius XI declared in Quas Primas: “When men and states refuse to submit to the rule of our Savior, there will be no hopeful prospect of lasting peace among nations.” True Catholics must reject this syncretic devotion and embrace only those Marian apparitions approved by the pre-1958 Magisterium – particularly Our Lady’s authentic warnings at La Salette against apostate Rome. Only through restoration of the Social Reign of Christ the King can such paganized innovations be eradicated.
