Juan Ignacio (cas-to-ray'-nah E Oor-soo'-ah) Castorena Y Ursua
A Stan Klos Biography Project
CASTORENA Y URSUA,
Juan Ignacio (cas-to-ray'-nah e oor-soo'-ah), Mexican bishop,
born in Zacatecas in 1668; died in Merida, Yucatan, in 1733. He studied in the
College of San Ildefonso, was graduated at the University of Mexico, went to
Spain, and received the degree of theological doctor at Ávila.
On his return to the City of Mexico he was
appointed canon of the cathedral and professor of Holy Scriptures, vicar-general
of the convents of nuns, and also honorary chaplain and preacher to Charles II.
He was made bishop of Yucatan in 1729, and his consecration took place in the
City of Mexico in the following year.
Castorena may be called the first journalist
of Mexico, as he really was the first that published a newspaper there in 1720.
He left a large number of printed and manuscript works, all of them on religious
subjects, his "Comentaria in Evangelicum Vatem Esaiam" being the most important.
