I don't ever remember learning it so i'm not exactly sure if that is what they are implying, but here is what it says (verbatim):
"Why did Jesus come down to earth?
God sent Jesus to earth so that he could found the Catholic Church"
I've also always wondered if other Catholics (in an area that is not predominantly Hispanic) have such an "admiration" to the Virgin Mary that the Hispanic (mainly Mexican) Catholics do.
