Garcia Moreno fue verdadero santo. Su martirio en principio blanco, se tiño con el rojo carmesí de su sangre por solo ser adalid Catolico. Fue juzgado, por un tribunal eclesiastico dirimido por un Agustino, que tenia severos disturbios mentales.Ese Padre al ultimo de suv ida, pretendió entrar en la Cartuja de Monte Alegre Tiana Barcelona y confeso incongruencias en su veredicto.Como que no un defensor del Corazon de Cristo, avillanado.Eso solo es obra masonica , que hoy gasta dinero para afear su imagen. ¿Que hacemos Nosotros? En Ecuador estamos en quiebra economica y no podemos reiniciar su justa causa de Beatificacion.¿Porque?

I have been told by my family that President Gabriel Garcia Moreno’s family fled to Mexico. He had a son who hyphenated the last name in Mexico. This son is my great grand father who I had the pleasure of meeting at a young age and who had an oil based portait of his father in his living room.

I’ve reado so many things that any additional information would be appreciated.

Jessica Garcia, In an old book I have it states that Garcia Moreno had his illigitimate son (name not mentioned) who was in the military, shoot General Moldonado as the General was an enemy of the Country. Could this military officer have been your ancester?

Jessica Garcia, President Gabriel Garcia Moreno only had one son that lived but this only son never married or had children. How is it that you are descended from this President? My grandfather was his illigitimate son. Was your ancestor also illigitimate? I would like to email you if you care to correspond. My email is renasoddy@sbcglobal.net. 26 May 2010

Thank you for making this edifying article available via the internet.

The details of the assasination of the Archbishop of Quito as rendered here gave brief pause, for how could a chalice have been sacriligiously poisoned with strychnine ON GOOD FRIDAY, when there is no access on that day to the Precious Blood?

So I went running for the old Missal. Sure enough, unconsecrated wine was used in the venerable rite….

This struck me as very interesting, for while the “Mass of the Pre-Sanctified,” as it was/is sometimes known contains no consecrations effecting the Mystical Immolation, the ritual still called for a fractioning of the Host and a particle of It to be dropped into the unconsecrated wine.

“He descended into hell,” is the portion of the Creed I’ve associated for many years in conjunction with this action; perhaps the ancient liturgy meant to preserve precisely that idea – particularly on Good Friday – by its insistence on the use of wine…?

God reward you!

Hello all,

I have learned in the last few years that I am a direct descendant of Garcia Moreno; this only by reading 20 plus years worth of writings that my grandfather Admiral Alfredo Garcia Drouet left behind when he died in 1963. I am very interested in confirming this and learning more about him. Unfortunately we left Ecuador when I was 6 months old and my father is not close to his family.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Dear Mr. Cusack,

We are in the process of producing an illustrated book on the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In the course of research for this book, I came across your website with an illustration of García Moreno consecrating the Republic of Ecuador at the Cathedral of Quito.

We would like to consider this illustration for this new book. Do you remember in which book or other publication you found this illustration?

Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tim,
I am a granddaughter 3 times removed from holy Gabriel Garcia Moreno. My grandfather Victor Manuel Garcia Riofrio was his illegimate son. Please don’t let this throw you, for blood son he was. Remember Saint Augustine had an illigimate son and is a Father of The Catholic Church. My grandfather was conceived between Garcia Moreno’s two wives to a woman he loved in his youth. I have so many beautiful stories passed on from my family I would love to share with you. I am a genealogist and have many of the lineages from our Great President. There is a group in Florida that asks for his intercession and pray for his cannization. My mother died last January at 98 yrs, and has passed on stories that her faher told her about his father, our President.
