Biography
editPedro de Arce was born in Catadiano Spain and ordained a priest in the Order of Saint Augustine.[2] On June 13, 1604, Pope Paul V appointed him Bishop of Cebu.[1][2] He was consecrated bishop in 1613 by Diego Vázquez de Mercado, Bishop of the Archdiocese of Manila.[2] He served as Bishop of Cebu until his death on 16 Oct 1645.[2]
While bishop, he was the principal consecrator of Hernando Guerrero, Bishop of Nueva Segovia (1628).[2] In the early 1600s, following the death of Miguel de Benavides, de Arce was embroiled in a seniority issue with Philip III regarding who was to govern the Archdiocese of Manila at that time. This led to a Papal Bull issued by Paul V to settle the matter.[3]
