Origin Malthus was born to a devout Catholic family in a small town in Brazil. From the moment he could walk, his mother whispered prayers into his ears, molding him into the son of God she always dreamed of. He entered the seminary at sixteen, surrendering his life to religious study, asceticism, and service. Until recently, he believed himself steadfast in his faith—unshaken, incorruptible.
