Garcia Maria de Allande Character Analysis

Maria de Allande is a Spanish cardinal living in Rome. Maria de Allande holds a great deal of political power in the Catholic church, so Ferrand appeals directly to this astute young cardinal in his attempts to elevate Jean-Marie Latour to the status of bishop. Unlike Ferrand, Maria de Allande is able to balance his passion for church politics with an appreciation for more worldly pleasures.

“At Ácoma,” [Father Jesus] said, “you can see something very holy. They have their portrait of St. Joseph, sent to them by one of the Kings of Spain, long ago, and it has worked many miracles. If the season is dry, the Ácoma people take the picture down to their farms at Ácoma, and it never fails to produce rain. They have rain when none falls in all the country, and may have crops when the Laguna Indians have none.”
