Summary:

This book details the ancestry and life of Brother Diego de Espinosa y Miranda, a priest in the Catholic Church. Born in Caracas, his uncle Sebastian Garcia de la Torre Ponce de Leon brought him to Seville, Spain to recover from a grave illness in his childhood. Brother Diego joined the Catholic Order of San Francisco, obtained an Arts degree, and moved throughout Andalucia where he remained devoted to both the Church and his career development for over 24 years. The following account details his travels through the Southern providences in Spain to help build up the Catholic Church by resolving unresolved disputes and disunity.
