Elegi, et sanctificavi locum istum,
ut sit ibi nomen meum,
et permaneant oculi mei,
et cor meum ibi cunctis diebus.
Mestiza? Maybe. A representative of genuine Catholic and Latin culture, a culture that transcends peoples and places as long as it retains whatever is True and Beautiful? That is for sure: no wonder the Virgin chose as her name in Tepeyac the Arabic- and Latin-derived name of her ancient title in Spanish Extremadura. Catholicity, by definition, knows no boundaries: ¡Ave María purísima!
