There are many examples you can cite of pagan elements in Catholicism, Our Lady of Guadalupe isn't one of them.

Italians don't really take their Catholicism too seriously

I disagree. Take the celebration of Santa Lucia Day, for example. In Scandinavia the tradition is for the matron of the household to walk around the house early in the morning carrying a tray of pastries while singing and wearing an evergreen crown of burning candles on her head.



In Italy and in Italian neighborhoods here in America, Santa Lucia is portrayed carrying a platter with her eyeballs on it in one hand and a dagger in the other. It don't get no more serious than that. Might explain why Italians are the way they are.
