It is said that as archbishop of Lima, Perú, Emilio Lissón, C.M. (1872-1961) used to visit the districts where the poor lived. During one of these visits, a family approached him in an ALLEY to ask for money. Since he did not have it, the archbishop removed his episcopal ring and gave it to the family so they could pawn it (see https://famvin.org/wiki/Emilio_Francisco_Lisson_Chavez).
