Próspero Alarcón y Sánchez de la Barquera

Archbishop Próspero Alarcón y Sánchez de la Barquera was a Mexican prelate of the Roman Catholic Church.[1] As bishop of Mexico City, he was a leader of the Mexican Church and was inspired by Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum.[1] He viewed the entrance of the Knights of Columbus into Mexico as evidence of the revival of lay Catholicism in Mexico.[1]
