NAVARRETE, Domingo Fernando (nah-var-ray'-te), Spanish R.
C. bishop, born in Periafiel in 1610; died in Santo Domingo in December, 1689.
He became a Dominican in 1630, was a missionary in New Spain from 1646 till
1648, afterward in Manila for nine years, and then went to Macassar and to
Canton. He was imprisoned in 1665, but escaped to Macao in 1669, went to Rome,
and published a pamphlet against the Jesuit policy in China, which received the
pope's approbation (1673).
He traveled through Europe, refused the bishopric of China,
and was appointed in 1677 archbishop of Santo Domingo, where he was conspicuous
by his humane policy toward the Indians. He also labored to improve the island,
promoted the building of high-roads and bridges, founded schools, erected
churches, and in many ways contributed to the welfare of the people.
He published "Tratados históricos, politicos morales y
religiosos de la Monarquia de China" (Madrid, 1676); "Epistola ad fratres
ordinis in America" (Seville, 1687); and several other works on Chinese
institutions.
