Spanish bishop, b. at Castellon de la Plana (Valencia), 1706; d. there 25 Nov.,
1781. Distinguished for his charities, educational efforts, eloquence, and
exemplary life, he studied and afterwards professed theology at the University
of Valencia, laboured for several years as parish priest, and was consecrated
Bishop of Barcelona in 1766; he resigned his see in 1775. His episcopal activity
was directed to the founding of hospitals, the establishing of free schools, and
the diffusion of knowledge among the people by means of low-priced publications.
He translated into Spanish several works, among them Fleury's "Moeurs des
Israelites et des Chrétiens". His pastoral instructions contributed largely to
his fame. That of 1769, on the renewal of ecclesiastical studies, caused him to
be denounced to the court of Charles III for having eulogized the Church of
Utrecht; but a commission composed of archbishops, bishops, and heads of
religious orders, appointed to examine his case, returned a decision favourable
to the prelate. The sway he held over his people was shown by his success in
quelling a dangerous uprising in Barcelona against military conscription; but
this only served still further to render him obnoxious to a suspicious court. He
refused, on conscientious grounds, a promotion to the wealthy See of Malaga, and
withdrew to his native place. His life was published in Barcelona in 1785.
