Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World

CHAPTER

Introduction

In 1900, a baby was born to a poor family in the Mexican state of Jalisco. The baby's name was Terebeo Romo and he would grow up to be a priest. But by the time of his priesthood, the Mexican state had begun persecuting the Catholic Church. He was murdered by Mexican federal soldiers for being a priest. In 1992, he was beatified and in the year 2000, John Paul II canonized him as a saint. So who was he? What happened in his life? And what's that strange mystery that surrounds him today? That's what we'll be talking about on this episode of Jimmy Aiken's Mysterious World.
