What has happened from the last century to this one in terms of prominent figures, exceedingly abundant in orders and congregations in the 20th century, to their practical non-existence today.

It is true that the Jesuits break all molds with their abundant presence as theologians, canonists, biblicists, mariologists, missionaries, retreat directors, moralists, historians, and even saints, which would be the most important. And even mathematicians, physicists, novelists, poets… But in all the other Institutes there were quite a few more than notable figures, like, for example, that cardinal Vives y Tutó whom in Rome they called Vives e tutto.

It is true that no name of any Salesian even minimally distinguished in something comes to my mind, but I am sure that this is due more to my ignorance than to their non-existence.

And what is the reason for this entry that some might think could be somewhat artificial? Well, I explain it. I came across a title by the highly accredited Claretian mariologist Narciso García Garcés, one of the most outstanding mariologists among the most outstanding Spanish ones of the last century. Well, the title (1940) is so resounding: «Mater Corredemptrix». The Claretians should send a copy to the despicable Trucho. Maybe he would learn something from García Garcés.
