That's because of the way Spanish oppression worked in Latin
America.

Once I learned this, I started observing my Latino students
always displaying statues and pictures of Mary in their homes,
and wearing Marian necklaces and rosaries ... even the
gangbangers.

I had one gangbanger in my class who wore a rosary, and once
I took him outside the classroom and asked him if Mary was
special to him. He said yes. Even my hardest gangbangers
were mushpots sometimes, and I was always happy to find
a good human connection with them since it could change
their lives at some point.
