SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) An alternative news weekly is Santa Fe is drawing fire over its cover with an image of a woman in a bikini who strongly resembles Our Lady of Guadalupe. KOB-TV reports that Catholics around New Mexico are upset over the Santa Fe Reporter's 2013 summer guide cover. On the cover is a bikini-clad woman sipping a drink around an Our Lady of Guadalupe-type background while a shirt-less cowboy in a pink hat looks on.
In a statement, the Reporter said the intent in the design was to incorporate an important part of Santa Fe's culture.
Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patron saint of Mexico.
