Death Comes for the Archbishop

Father Latour's character is all about growing and upholding his faith and he does so by his missionary work. This is seen throughout the book especially when on page 55 he says " No, I tell you Lujon, the marriages first, the baptisms afterward; that order is but christian. I will baptize the children to-morrow morning, and their parents will at least have been married over night." To Latour faith is what makes up who he is. Latour also admires the nature that he encounters in all his journeys.

In book four father Latour goes on a mission to save father vaillent. Vaillent had caught the black measles. On Latour's journey to save his friend he stays with his old guide Jacinto. On page 121 when Jacinto's wife serves Latour soup and bread. Latour and Jacinto eat together in his home as if they have always done so. The scene makes you feel as if their relationship is brotherly.
