Lentorama Saint of the day: St. Toribio Alfonso de Mogrovejo
A Spanish lawyer who would be named archbishop of Lima, he set out to reshape his diocese, both by reformation (of the non-Protestant variety) and by aiding the poor and natives, who were taking it on the chin from the Spanish rulers. This led to his founding of several schools, hospitals, and the first seminary in the New World.
Which is all pretty cool, and hopefully made up for his serving as chief judge of the court of Inquisition in Granada under Philip II. That doesn't sound so cool.
