Biography

Diego de Gorospe y Irala was born in Puebla, México in 1649 and ordained a priest in the Order of Preachers.[4] On 1 June 1699, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Innocent XII as Bishop of Nueva Segovia[1][4] but did not arrive to the diocese until 1704.[5] His appointment filled a long vacancy in the bishopric as his predecessor died in 1683.[5]

On 22 January 1702, he was consecrated bishop by García Felipe de Legazpi y Velasco Altamirano y Albornoz, Bishop of Michoacán.[4] He served as Bishop of Nueva Segovia until his death on 20 May 1715.[4]
