His Excellency Archbishop Raymond Burke, now Prefect of the Apostolic Segnatura, was once the Bishop of La Crosse.
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.
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.
