Biography

Arguinao y Gutiérrez was born in Lima, Viceroyalty of Peru, in April 1588.[1][2] He joined the Dominican Order and was ordained a priest.[1][2]

On 10 September 1646, Pope Innocent X appointed Arguinao bishop of Santa Cruz de la Sierra in what is now Bolivia.[1] He was consecrated bishop on 17 November 1647 by Pedro de Villagómez Vivanco, the archbishop of Lima.[1] He served there until 1659, when he became archbishop of Santafé en Nueva Granada (now the Archdiocese of Bogotá in what is now Colombia).[1] He was selected to that position on 10 July 1659, and was confirmed on 10 November of that year.[1]

Arguinao served as archbishop until his death on 5 October 1678, in Bogotá, at the age of 90.[1][2]
