On Tuesday, I tell the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe to my seventh grade wunderkinder. They have never heard it before.

I exclaim, surprised that that comment (of all their comments!) managed to shock and exasperate me, and sidebar later to privately examine the potential romantic structures of Marian apparitions more closely.
