PRESENTATION OF THE BIOGRAPHY OF MONS. Nidia PROAÑO Arrobo Rhodes
Sitting on a bed of twigs and straw, in the shadow of his old hut, Guillermo Gualpa, Chimborazo Quichua, gives a simple and poetic definition of "Bishop of the Indians" Leonidas Proaño . "For the indigenous peoples of Ecuador, Proaño Bishop has been a large sun, a star can not be hidden by clouds in the sky ... Proaño has been able to give life to the word evangelization. For him, evangelism meant "announce what is right and denounce what is wrong. "
As part of the celebration of this first centenary of the birth of our organization Mgr Proaño Indian Pueblo Foundation of Ecuador that I represent, has wanted to give "first fruits" to all of you and all our people, this first biography of our beloved Mons . Proaño. It has been more than 21 years of his departure to the Father, years that have passed while shooting for the majority, those who receive your custom executor, has been difficult and hard, but at the same time have been charged with the power of the Spirit kept us in the gap striving to be consistent with our people and the legacy that has not been easy to translate it in all its magnitude. Be faithful and try to follow a prophet of the stature of Taita Proaño in adverse environments such as political and church which we live, have demanded strength, courage, imagination and fortitude with which we have attended Diosito Taita.
And, despite our status for having been written in the handwriting of Bishop Leonidas certainly contains no reference to the dissemination of his thought, against all odds during this time of life and work of our small organization we have redoubled efforts to keep his memory alive not only in Ecuador but throughout Abya Yala, and even overseas because we believe that "light can not be hidden under a bushel "and because we believe that the best tribute we can pay our people is to give something from him and he is indispensable: the thought and life of those lucky enough to witness the poor man of Nazareth, who lived by the Instead, he was crucified by the political and religious powers of his time and risen in our midst and encourage our struggles. Many are the dreams which reveal ... among them are on one side of the church building India and the multinational state that enables life to the fullest of native peoples with the enjoyment of all rights guaranteed to them: and, of course publication of the complete works of the Prophet Bishop of the Poor and the Indians, whose realization impels us as part of the dissemination of his great legacy, we also urges the release of biographies that account for his fruitful life and liberating thought.
Year after year we have been giving something Proaño Bishop called "my little writing." Perhaps as a foretaste of all this great challenge we now deliver the joy of this biography written by Giovanni Ferro, Italian journalist colleague and friend, ten years ago accepted the challenge of writing this book and to do, beat the real problems of geography, language, culture, and launched into this adventure with the armor of his professional ability, his thoroughness and accuracy. He, diligent and hard on yourself, we visited dozens of interviews conducted in various places on our Ecuador, was steeped in the books published by and about Rev. Proaño, as appropriate reporter walked into the press at the time and exquisite style wrote in their language the book "L'avventura di Taita Proaño an Indian tra gli vescovo dell 'Ecuador', which today goes under the title" Taita Proaño the journey of a bishop among the Indians of Ecuador. " Our organization was in the genesis of this work and we had the honor of throwing it in 1998 at least three cities Italian Roma, Arezzo and Bolzano on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of RESURRECTION OF MONS. LEONIDAS PROAÑO, and we are filled with joy to know that was widely accepted throughout the length and breadth of Italy. Since then, we dream of translating and editing here in Ecuador so that our people know about events as yet unpublished facets of our prophet, and we strive to disseminate know and live, and also to serve as a stimulus for our brothers are encourage further and write about his life and thought in force now more than ever.

This work draws with freshness and master the strong and sweet personality Taita Leonidas and light shows line by line the greatness of his soul, the strength of his convictions, principles that animated his life, transparency and consistency of its decisions, the strength of spirituality, the magnitude of their commitment and preferential option for the poor and brilliance of his revolutionary insights and ecclesiastical and political actions.

a prologue of another large Continent, Bishop Samuel Ruiz, who during these days is celebrating its golden anniversary Episcopal and greet cheering, the work draws on five chapters that read flying, the depth of a lifetime which was hit by a conflict, betrayals and problems not injured but his nonchalance and meekness. The text takes a stroll as to what Gianni described as "subversive seventeen bishops behind bars," "a weaver of hats to the Council," the revolution of the punch, "the gospel to the bench" to conclude the narrative his last years and days full of unprecedented events that open to the knowledge of an exceptional human being. Today, thanks to the generosity of Gianni Ferro Publishing "Gruppo Abele" we authorized the issue and gave us copyright and Sr. Carl Gomez, Argentina religious living in Italy who made the translation of this book , we are pleased to deliver to our people in Castilian.

For this edition we had to perform both proofreading that contributed strongly in my sister Nelly and Giovanna Tassi, as revised quotations task that worked Empress Montalvo.

is for the Pueblo Indian Foundation of Ecuador a joy to give this biographical work, the first of its kind on Taita Leonidas, to mark the centenary of his birth. Your thoughtful reading will bring us to the greatness of spirit of an authentic human being and an exemplary Christian molded in the Gospel of Jesus Christ Liberator, and in the pristine sources of the ancient cultures of our Ecuador.
