Conquistador Without Sword vividly tells, for the first time in English, the story of Roque Gonzlez de Santa Cruz, SJ. Son of one of the original conquistadors, Roque dedicated his intense life to the defense of the Guaran Indians of Paraguay and became the main founder of the famed Reductions' havens for the Indians against enslavement by the colonists. Roque was the First Americanborn martyr who died while serving American Indians.Thanks to research into contemporary documents, C.J. McNaspy, SJ, offers the hostile Indians defense in their own words. The irony of Roques martyrdom is that those who executed him were unaware that they were killing their most stalwart defender. Today, descendants of the Guaran Indians regard Roque as their hero. Roque was a liberator and is the spiritual ancestor of todays martyrs in Central and South America.Roque Gonzlez de Santa Cruz, SJ, was beatified in the Roman Catholic Church on January 28, 1934, by Pope Pius XI. Roque was canonized in the Roman Catholic Church on May 16, 1988, by St. John Paul II. His feast day is November 16.
