English translation of the Nican Mopohua

Official site of the shrine of Guadalupe.

I used to have a link to a Spanish web-site, Proyecto Guadalupe, which contained many important primary sources in Spanish. Unfortunately, that site is no longer active. However, portions of the site have been archived. Here you can find the transcripts of the interrogation that took place after Bustamante's sermon denouncing the shrine.
