PALAFOX DE MENDOZA, JUAN DE (1600-1659)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 593 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PALAFOX DE MENDOZA, JUAN DE (1600-1659) , Spanish
bishop
 , was born in Aragon. He was appointed in 1839
bishop
  of Angelopolis (Puebla de los Angeles) in
Mexico
 , and there honourably distinguished himself by his efforts to protect the natives from Spanish cruelty, forbidding any methods of con-version other than persuasion. In this he met with the uncompromising hostility of the
Jesuits
 , whom in 1647 he laid under an interdict. He twice, in 1647 and 1649, laid a formal complaint against them at Rome. The
pope
 , however, refused to approve his censures, and all he could obtain was a brief from Innocent X. (May 14, 1648), commanding the
Jesuits
  to respect the episcopal
jurisdiction
 . In 1653 the Jesuits succeeded in securing his
translation
  to the little see of Osma in Old Castile. In 1694 Charles II. of Spain petitioned for his canonization; but though this passed through the preliminary stages, securing for Palafox the title of " Venerable," it was ultimately defeated, under Pius VI., by the intervention of the Jesuits.

Resende
