President of Ecuador Gabriel Garcia Moreno

Gabriel Garcia Moreno was the greatest Catholic statesman in Ecuador history, eulogized by Pope Pius IX himself as a martyr. He lived from 1821 to 1875, was elected President of Ecuador twice: first from 1859 to 1865 and second from 1869 to 1875. He died as martyr for the Catholic religion and his dear country in August of 1875 just after he was elected to his third term as the Ecuador President. Garcia Moreno joins the rare Catholic books that publishers are reprinting for our benefit, and it is the best story in the history of Ecuador. Thank you Dolorosa Press!

This is an excellent book for a Catholic home school curriculum, especially for Catholic history. A priest, Rev. Fr. Augustine Berthe, went to the cities in Ecuador where Garcia Moreno had lived and worked to follow the phenomenal story of his leading his people through several revolutions to a peaceful Catholic life amidst the revolutionary countries that surrounded the country of Ecuador. The Ecuador provinces faced not only the destruction common to revolutions, but also the chaos of bandits who had been displaced from their homes and the Indians who had been unjustly treated by the sects. Moreno's rule eventually guided the Ecuador government toward the peaceful enforcement of the Catholic Ten Commandments at great price with very great reward.

Many search for good Catholic books for boys. Start right here. Ladies and gentlemen will both appreciate the fast action story of this great martyr for the Catholic Faith, who was equal to any of our true Catholic kings and Catholic knights. The book is told from a factual and historical perspective that does not sink to false chivalry, dialog presentation, denigration of women or other classes of people. Fr. Berthe gives a detailed Ecuador history before he starts Moreno's story which builds the drama that sets the stage for heroism. The Ecuador government had been in the hands of revolutionaries and was rife with evil as Moreno faced the task of restoring his country.

Geography Of Ecuador

The author, Fr. Berthe, describes the geography of Ecuador throughout the book giving a glimpse into many of the Ecuador provinces, but most especially those of Quito, Guayaquil, Vilcabamba, and Ibarra Ecuador. Father describes the many times that Gabriel Garcia Moreno and his armies traveled the plains, jungles, and mountains back and forth across the Ecuador map - on foot. The mountains are as rough as those in the Rocky Mountain Range of the United States of America. Some of the most surprising Ecuador facts that we learned were the vast ranges that the men of the late 1800's traversed on foot and their gargantuan success in battle. The illustrations throughout the book are most inviting.

Where Is Ecuador?

The country of Ecuador is on the continent of South America just south of Columbia and north of Peru and Chile. The map of Ecuador shows twenty four Ecuador provinces:

• Azuay (Cuenca)
• Bolivar (Guraranda)
• Canar
• Carchi
• Chimborazo (Riobamba)
• Cotopaxi
• El Oro
• Esmeraldas
• Galapagos (Yes, of the Galapagos Islands)
• Guayas (Guayaquil)
• Imbabura (Ibarra)
• Loja
• Los Rios (Babahoyo)
• Manabi
• Morona Santiago
• Napo
• Orellana
• Pastaza
• Pichincha (Quito is the Ecuador capital)
• Santa Elena
• Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas
• Sucumbios
• Tungurahua
• Zamora-Chinchipe (Zamora)

Ecuador History

The most charming story in the history of Ecuador is the story of Venerable Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres placed on the Ecuador map in Quito. Fr. Berthe tells the story of the apparition of Our Lady of Good Success, Our Lady of Quito, who fortold a Catholic statesman who would consecrate the Republic of Ecuador to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The rest of the story is uncanny as it unfolds.

Dolorosa Press starts this reprint of one of the most interesting old Catholic books with a most memorable Preface that places the actions of Our Lady and Gabriel Garcia Moreno in the context of the history of Ecuador and our current history. Dolorosa Press even has current photos of the Quito Cathedral and the Plaza de la Indepencia, the very places of Gabriel Garcia Moreno's martyrdom. The Preface tell the prophecies made by Our Lady of Good Success that have been fulfilled and the miraculous artifacts that still remain. There are magnificent photos of these in the back of the book.

The rest of the book relates the turbulent history of Ecuador as if the author had been there, and rightly so since he used eyewitness sources. Garcia Moreno is nearly our favorite traditional Catholic book - it exemplifies the life of one who lived and supported the Catholic catechism! You can buy both the paperback and the hardback Garcia Moreno Biography at Amazon.
