Few Catholics today know the story of Gabriel Garcia Moreno, the devout, saintly leader who briefly re-established the shining light of Christendom in a small corner of the world during the nineteenth century. Garcia Moreno's role in Catholic history is so significant that the Blessed Virgin Mary specifically foretold his presidency more than two centuries before his birth.
