...social issues, he has followed Leo XIII (1878-1903), who perceived, like Marx, that the key to the Western World was the worker. In his famed social encyclical, Rerum Novarum, Leo proclaimed the worker's inalienable right to a decent living, the employer's duty to provide it, and the right of both to private property.

Gradually, word spread from cave to cave that school was fun. Soon Father Andres found that he could hardly keep up with his swelling classes. Every penny he saved went into the school fund. He begged land and donations from friends, even sold the jeweled decoration that King Alfonso XIII had given him ("What use have I for this fancy bauble?").
