The Marianist martyrs of Madrid, Blesseds Fr. Miguel Léibar Garay, Br. Sabijno Ayastuy Errasti, Br. Joaquín Ochoa Salazar, and Br. Florencio Arnáiz Cejudo, lived through the scourge known as the "Red Terror" during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930's. Communist “militiamen” violently worked to eradicate Catholicism in the cities they controlled by torching churches and executing leaders, religious or lay.

The persecution became so severe that even possession of a rosary warranted the death penalty. In the face of such grave danger, these four Marianists made the commitment to stay in war-torn Madrid and continue to minister to the faithful. These men are honored by the Society of Mary on November 6 of the Church calendar.

Good! Because they certainly wouldn’t have participated if it were up to most of the USCCB, including the radical, divisive Archbishop of Cincinnati, who is myopically focused on his parish consolidation plan, and limiting the role of women and girls in parish life.
