"All change, except away from evil, is the most dangerous of all things". (Plato)

This name change idea will never get anywhere, the few people proposing it, Fr. Purdy and like two Philippino woman, are just three nobodies who think they discovered something they can make a "mission" of, it is rooted in ignorance and pride. Likely because they previously thought that the apparition was about worldly success. That their mission is misdirected from the get go, clearly shows that it is wrong. That they chose the Spanglish title of Our Lady of "Buen Suceso" of the Purification says it all, they are misdirected at their first baby step. It'll never get anywhere, Catholics seeking truth do not follow the blind, they follow the voice of Our Lord.

Here is what they should have done: teach to the few simple minded people like them,  that the English title of "Good Success" does not mean success in the sense of worldly gain. That is all.

My wife has a big devotion to our Lady of Good Success and has read the books in English, the thought that Our Lady of Good Success has to do with worldly success has never entered her mind. I read the books too, and the thought never entered my mind. The attraction to me has always been the message about the future, which in every way appears to describe our times. I first learned about Our Lady of Good Success in Catholic Family News, I think in the late 1990's, they referenced the books by Tradition in Action. The articles were all about the message about the future.

Why is it that Guimaraes and TIA/Plinio followers think that they are the sole and absolute authority in determining what Our Lady's title in Quito really is? Where does that sole and absolute authority come from? Do they believe that it comes from their prophet Plinio?

Since this took place in Quito I think we should reference from the original docuмents.

A good idea, if only the original oldest written docuмents could be found online...that might be a good thing.

I wanted to clarify that Fr. Purdy of course knew that the apparition was not about worldly success, and that it is the Filipinos people, his congregation, that has it all wrong, they prayed to Our Lady of Good Success for worldly success and knew nothing about he message at Quito. Fr. Purdy made it his mission to teach them the real apparition. This is why he wants to change the name. These errors is very common in South America, the Philippines, and Africa and even in Europe among Catholic cultures, where Catholicism is just part of the culture, and the people really know nothing about the faith. However, Fr. Purdy is dead wrong about the USA, where the few devotees to Our Lady of Good Success very much know what the apparition was about, it is about the message of the future.

If the writer's mind did not lack a memory card, she would have remembered that the title of Our Lady Of Good Success is over 30 years old and was first coined by Msgr. Cadena y Almeida,  the Postulator for the Cause of Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres.The article explaining that has been posted in two different threads on CI in the last thtree weeks, here is the most recent one: https://www.cathinfo.com/general-discussion/our-lady-of-good-success-or-our-lady-of-buen-suceso/#msg649485
