Biography

Juan de Sancto Mathía Sáenz de Mañozca y Murillo was born in México on 24 January 1611.[2][3] On 5 September 1661, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Alexander VII as Bishop of Santiago de Cuba.[2] On 24 August 1662, he was consecrated bishop by Diego Osorio de Escobar y Llamas, Bishop of Tlaxcala.[2] On 27 February 1668, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Clement IX as Bishop of Santiago de Guatemala and installed on 13 June 1668.[2] He served as Bishop of Santiago de Guatemala until his death on 13 February 1675.[2] As notification of his death had not yet reached Rome and Spain, on 14 April 1675, he was selected by the King of Spain as Bishop of Tlaxcala and on 17 June 1675, he was confirmed by Pope Clement X.[2]

While bishop, he was the principal consecrator of Alfonso Bravo de Laguna, Bishop of Nicaragua (1671).[2]
