His Excellency Archbishop Raymond Burke, now Prefect of the Apostolic Segnatura, was once the Bishop of La Crosse.FrZ: Archbp. Burke describes why he built the Shrine to Our Lady - VIDEO
During his time as bishop, he began the construction of a great shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The result is spectacular. If you are ever in the area, you must visit.
Archbp. Burke returned to the Shrine this week for a Canon Law Conference.
During the course of the conference, His Excellency explained why he build the Shrine.
UPDATE: I added a lower quality version, below.
BC: I cant seem to embed the video, go to Fr. Z's to view the video.
BTW… Archbp. Burke speaks of the possibility that body of the late Fr. John Hardon, SJ might be eventually moved to the Shrine, if it is found to be opportune. Fr Hardon’s Catechism (great for adults) was instrumental in my conversion to the Catholic Church.
This little video, in which Archbp. Burke explains a project so close to his heart, really gives you a sense of the man’s intellect and piety.

I can't either, Matt.
Very frustrating.
I, we, were at the very inception of Archbishop Burke's vision of a Shrine to Our Lady; at first, it was to be in honor of Our Lady of Fatima; for the obvious reasons, as well as an antidote to the horrid "necedah" shrine; an abomoniation, if ever there was one!
This developed further, as our Institute realized that it was beyond our capacities (our monastic life is the classical, enclosed kind which would have precluded the kind of pastoral presence the F.I.s are able to be there at the Shrine of OL of Guadalupe.
Anyway.
Our Lady and St. Joseph have certainly been helping this whole mission out from the "get go".
I hope to be there Aug 21st for the Marian Symposium.
I'll be at Bishop-elect Callahan's installation on August 11. It would be great to "meet up"...I know what YOU look like, but I'm not anything like the JR Terrier my "nomenclature" has...
I'm in a grey tunic, black scapular, white beard and greying hair.
Hope we can speak Matt.
Looking forward to meeting you there Father. I will look for the one standing on two legs instead of four. :) The conference last year was amazing. Yes, may the Shrine be a place of true devotion unlike those snared by the devil. We would love to have you in our area but Providence would have it so, I'm certain you do much good in your neck of the woods.
