Now is an appropriate time to recall that historic visit and the role that John Paul II and the Chilean bishops played in Chile’s peaceful transition to democracy, as well as clarify some misconceptions about that pilgrimage.
A comment:
“According to George Weigel’s authoritative biography of John Paul II, Witness to Hope, during this meeting Pinochet asked John Paul II: “Why is the Church always talking about democracy? One method of government is as good as another.” John Paul’s response was: “No. The people have a right to their liberties, even if they make mistakes in exercising them.”
1. The people have a right to their political liberties, if they are qualified to hold them. 2. This does not mean that a liberal democracy at the scale of the nation-state is necessarily the best or only means of satisfying (1). [my edit]
And this is the problem with popes voicing opinions about political issues, because there is no guarantee that their moral theology concerning political order and community, and the judgments issuing from it, is correct, as none of this falls within the Deposit of Faith as such.

And one of the 4 year-olds, Ibero-American: "I am Jason. He is a bad guy." Why do their parents let their very young children watch horror movies? I don't understand, even if we are not getting their best and brightest.

A New Guilty Pleasure?
Despite the eye candy the characters are more than ridiculous, along with the storylines. Has an intelligent telenovela ever been written? When will the SJWs in Mexico start voicing their grievances against telenovelas? Plenty of bad-think going on there.

Bridges of San Luis Rey: Early sacred music from Latin America

The sacred music of Latin America in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries has only recently been discovered by recording labels. The results are always striking and frequently marvelous.

Our Lady of Guadalupe and American Catholics
"I am the ever Virgin Mary, Mother of the True God." In so saying, the Lady of Tepeyac was actively de-throning and de-legitimizing any false claimant to that title.
Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patroness of all the Americas, but who identifies with her the most strongly? The children of the Aztecs and the nations that suffered under them and of the Spanish who settled in Mexico, the new Mexican nation? Do the other Ibero-American nations have as strong a devotion? (Or are they more likely to acquire it if they immigrate to the United States?)
The United States has its own patron, the Immaculate Conception. (I say this instead of: The United States have their own patron. Although the U.S. bishops made their choice in 1847, still I think it is likely that their mindset was more nationalist than federalist.) Do the "indigenous" peoples of the land that is now of the United States identify with Juan Diego and the appearance of the Virgin Mary to him?
What is the relationship of the United States to the rest of the Western Hemisphere? Given the link of the cult of Our Lady of Guadalupe to Mexican nationalism, is it wise for a Latin bishop in the United States to encourage non-Mexican Roman Catholics to cultivate a devotion to her? Is such a move fairly regarded as a move towards Hispanicization (or Mexicanization) of American Catholic culture? Is it possible for the possession of a common religion to eliminate differences in ethnic identity and culture? I don't believe so.
