Sorry, you must have the wrong number http://egotastic.in.net/ egotastic Into this land of exile came Father Damien de Veuster. The young Belgian missionary volunteered, in 1873, to go to the forsaken place — "the self-exiled priest," one admirer later described him, "the one clean man in the midst of his flock of lepers." Newspapers trumpeted his good works, with reports of how he tended to the sick, how he built churches and homes, how he consoled the dying with promises of an afterlife. His bravery and charity became the stuff of legend, and upon his death, many clamored for his canonization. Though he might have seemed a shoo-in for sainthood, a small minority cast doubts on Damien's character, claiming the man had "lived evilly" with women. Without believing the darkest of the charges, some members of Damien's own missionary order of the Sacred Hearts were reluctant, at first, to advance a cause for his sainthood.
