Canonization Mass of Blessed Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin, Mexico City, 31 July 2002

This is Pope John Paul II's own homily at the canonization Mass of Blessed Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin in Mexico City on 31 July 2002, published by the Holy See. As the canonizing authority's own record of its own act, delivered by the pope himself, it is the direct and authoritative source for the Catholic Church's own statement at the canonization. Its limit is that it is the Church's own devotional and institutional account of the canonization rather than independent historical scholarship on Juan Diego's own historicity, a question that has drawn genuine scholarly debate the atlas addresses through other, independent sources.
