Your answer was: Guglielmo Massaja. |
Answer: Cardinal Guglielmo Massaja is considered among the greatest missionaries of the nineteenth century. He was the first to evangelize the tribal people of the Galla, in southern Ethiopia. He proved to be a strong supporter of the Society of the Propagation of the Faith, which supported Catholic missions. On April 26, 1846 Pope Gregory XVI created the Apostolic Vicariate of the Galla and entrusted it to Massaja. Massaja founded several missions, established the first Ethiopian Catholic monasticism, wrote the first catechism in Galla language, consecrated three Bishops, confronted the clergy and with the Ethiopian Muslim presence, favored scientific explorations, spread prophylaxis among the population against smallpox and carried out surgeries thanks to the practical experience gained in his youth.
