Triumph at Miss Universe 2025: Fátima Bosch, the Devout Mexican Catholic, Wins the Crown and Celebrates by Making the Sign of the Cross – Raising High the Pride of Hispanic Catholic Women
Hours before the Miss Universe 2025 final, 25-year-old Fátima Bosch, a devout Catholic from Tabasco, Mexico, shared a photo on her social media of her dressing room decorated with an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe made of sequins, accompanied by a rosary and the Mexican flag. “It’s today! #MissUniverse,” she wrote on X, publicly entrusting herself to the Virgin Mary as a symbol of her unwavering faith.
This act of devotion – which her mother confirmed is a constant in her life (“That Virgin has always been with her; she doesn’t take a single step without her”) – stood in stark contrast to the progressive pressures of the pageant.
Born in Teapa, Bosch overcame a public humiliation two weeks earlier when Thai organizer Nawat Itsaragrisil called her “stupid” and ordered her removed from a meeting for not promoting Thailand enough on social media.
Fátima Bosch: UNA REINA
Dio cátedra de dignidad.
Celebro que no se haya quedado callada.
Celebro que no haya permitido faltas de respeto.
Celebro a todas las mujeres que se levantaron con ella. pic.twitter.com/m5ngDzIr0E

With dignity, Fátima replied: “If that takes away your dignity, you have to leave,” and walked out accompanied by 17 other contestants in solidarity.
The video of the incident went viral, leading to Itsaragrisil’s immediate dismissal by Miss Universe president Raúl Rocha Cantú.
At the Impact Arena gala, her Catholic resilience shone brightly. Dressed in red – the emblematic color of Mexican queens – she answered the question about the challenges women face in 2025: “As a woman and Miss Universe, I would raise my voice to create change, because we are strong, courageous, and we always stand back up; that is our story.”
Upon receiving the crown from Denmark’s Victoria Kjær Theilvig, she made the sign of the cross in front of millions – an act of glory to God that rekindled Cristero traditions.

In a moment that perfectly captures the purity of her Catholic faith, Fátima Bosch starred in a moving scene inside a hotel elevator in Bangkok, surrounded by her team and Mexican supporters.
With tears of joy and the Miss Mexico sash still around her waist, the 25-year-old from Tabasco raised her hands in the shape of a heart and shouted with fervor “¡Viva Cristo Rey!” as the elevator rose.
The video, recorded in the immediate euphoria after the coronation, exploded across social media, racking up thousands of views and celebrations from the faithful who see her as a bulwark against progressive secularization.
In a world that often mocks faith and tries to redefine femininity, Fátima Bosch stands as the most beautiful answer: a proudly Catholic Hispanic woman who does not need to renounce her cross to be queen.
Diagnosed with ADHD as a child and now a humanitarian activist focused on family and community, she never embraced trendy ideological agendas; instead, she chose the flag of Mexico, the rosary, and Our Lady of Guadalupe as her true banners.
Her triumph – Mexico’s fourth Miss Universe crown and the nation’s fifth in history – is not merely a personal achievement: it is the joyful, radiant vindication of millions of Hispanic women who carry traditional values, Marian devotion, and the certainty that true beauty is born when one kneels before God rather than before the world.
With a smile that shines brighter than any diamond crown, Fátima reminds us that it is indeed possible to be strong, brave, and feminine without betraying who we are.
She embodies the joy of being Catholic, the dignity of being Mexican, and the hope that, even in 2025, a Hispanic woman can conquer the entire universe… while making the sign of the cross and shouting ¡Viva Cristo Rey!
Congratulations, Fátima! Long live Our Lady of Guadalupe and long live the Hispanic woman who is proud of her faith!
