The tradition of Our Lady of Guadalupe of Mexico is one of
history's greatest examples of the fusion of religious devotion and
national identity. For more than three centuries it has united a
people who have often been divided. Given the universality of the
devotion, not just in Mexico but throughout the Catholic world, it
is surprising to know that from the beginning the story of the
Virgin Mary's appearances to the neophyte Indian Juan Diego has
been the object of bitter controversy. In the late nineteenth
century this centered on the authenticity of the tradition, sparked
in part by the famous letter of the great Mexican historian Joaquin
Garcia Icazbalceta to the archbishop of Mexico, in which he listed
his arguments against the tradition. From 1980 until 2002 the
controversy centered on the canonization of Juan Diego and the
doubts about his historical existence. The Guadalupan Controversies
in Mexico is the first comprehensive history of this interesting
yet relatively unknown facet of Mexican social and religious
history.
