La Santa Muerte, a skeleton figure that resembles the Grim Reaper, is the most well-known.... Although originally tied to cartels, devotees now include members of LGBTQ+ communities and the middle class.
Jesús Malverde, sometimes referred to as the "angel of the poor," is reportedly based on the legend of a Robin Hood figure from the Mexican state of Sinaloa in the early 1900s. Most recently, the Elvis-resembling saint was strongly identified with the Sinaloa Cartel, whose soldiers asked him for protection. But a new 80-episode fictional Netflix series about Malverde has expanded his popularity in Mexico.
Santo Niño Huachicolero, a perversion of the Roman Catholic image of Santo Niño, depicts the Christ child with a can of gasoline and a hose. He's the patron saint of gas thieves who ask for help to avoid arrest, prevent fires and protect their families from a different kind of flame....
Devotees feel these folk saints don't judge them or look down on their request for miracles under extreme difficulty, [according to William A. Calvo-Quirósm, professor of American Culture and Latinx Studies at the University of Michigan.].

What fraction of the thirty-billion in "student loan cancellation" is already sitting in the retirement account of this worthless parasite?
The part that amazes me is that there is a *new* Netflix series that has *80* episodes.
The University of Michigan offers "Latinx Studies." How precious.
Even real saints only need three miracles, one of which must not be a card trick.
These are pagan figures, not Christian ones, with the exception of Saint Jude, who will not assist with illegal activities. How disgusting and blasphemous.
"The part that amazes me is that there is a *new* Netflix series that has *80* episodes."
Ah, it must be a telenovela. I've tried watching one or two but have never made it the full length.
Santanico Pandemonium
Michigan saw Harvard getting DeBlasio and had to make a move.
Did someone say Thirty-bill? I thought it was even more munificent--ten times, in fact.
Is “alienated Latinos” a euphemism for satan worshipers?
I was recently in Mexico. The Mexican with me said you could tell when a neighborhood had been taken over by drug dealers when there were more Santa Muerte statues on the car dashboards than Our Lady of Guadalupe statues. If this is becoming popular in the US, then we’ve got a problem.
Hoo boy, those wacky Lantinx! Que lindo.
A skeleton, a Stork that delivers at the age of convenience or not, a transgender spectrum, and dysfunctional couples, respectively, and their patrona progressiva.
"Unofficial saints"? Who came up with such an inaccurate term? As if they just haven't gotten the recognition the deserve.
These are not saints, they are demons. Ah so quirky to be death worshipers. Do the devils care that it's a joke.
"Did someone say Thirty-bill? I thought it was even more munificent--ten times, in fact."
Well, it's entirely hypothetical at this point. Kind of interesting though. The schpiel being put forward for this particular grift is that "The Department of Education will provide up to $20,000 in debt cancellation to Pell Grant recipients with loans held by the Department of Education". So, they aren't actually spending any money. They already had all that money, and they loaned it to those people, and now they just won't make them pay it back. So the DoE budget already had thirty gazillion of slack in it, that no one knew about. Cool, huh?
As Blair noted, these "folk saints" have nothing to do with sainthood. They are pagan through and through.
Neo-Paganism?
"Latinx studies"--is that like "Uterus-Havers' Studies"?
If you turn off the lights, stare into a mirror, and say "Latinx" three times, a ghostly white prog will appear in the glass and give you a satisfied smirk.
More alienated Latinos are turning to unofficial saints.
I heard rumor they’re increasingly Orange-God curious.
Is Axios a reliable news source? It is just so hard to find news that isn't just spin trying to move people to a conclusion that seems unjustified to people who have broader knowledge on the subject of the story.
"Saint Guinefort was a 13th-century French greyhound that received local veneration as a folk saint."

"Unofficial saints?"
Does that mean they don't have the Vatican Seal of Approval?
What if it turns out that one of those whom the Vatican gave the seal isn't really a saint?
Latinx
Is not an alien (i.e. non-native), but a mutant designation. Diversitists cannot help but expose their natural born character.
Father Guido Sarducci : To be made a saint in-a the catholic church, you have to have-a four miracles. That's-a the rules, you know. It's-a always been that-a. Four miracles, and-a to prove it. Well, this-a Mother Seton-now they could only prove-a three miracles. But the Pope-he just waved the fourth one. He just waved it! And do you know why? It's-a because she was American. It's all-a politics. We got-a some Italian-a people, they got-a forty, fifty, sixty miracles to their name. They can't-a get in just cause they say there's already too many Italian saints, and this woman comes along with-a three lousy miracles. I understand that-a two of them was-a card tricks.
The first commandant rears it’s ugly head again. Jehovah gets super angry when people worship one or more of the thousands of other gods.
I'll bet they don't have a Department of Latinx Studies at the University of Michoacan.
Its not unheard of

With the exception of St. Francis of Assisi and a few others, most of the officially recognized saints weren't all that holy. Some were literally holy terrors. Still, I can't imagine anyone's behavior will improve with the study and emulation of Santa Muerte. I like St. Christopher. He's the patron saint of futile causes and pointless prayers.
What do they call indulgences in Mexico?
A: Guadaloopholes.
The native peasants who live in the dirt floored huts far outside cities are reliable ly reported to leave small offerings of food or flowers atop the Mayan and Aztec ruins in the jungle. And they have done so since the time of Cortez, priests be damned.
There may be new gods,but the old ones persist.
