Biography
[edit]Born in Zaragoza, José Bueno studied at the Gregorian University in Rome. He was ordained to the priesthood on 19 March 1927, and then taught at the seminary in Madrid until 1945. Becoming a professor at Madrid's Superior Mason Institute of Religious Culture in 1929, Monreal also served as diocesan Attorney General from 1935 to 1945, which was the same year he was made canon.
On 1 December 1945, he was appointed Bishop of Jaca by Pius XII. Monreal received episcopal consecration on 19 March 1946 from the Bishop Leopoldo Eijo y Garay of Madrid, with bishops Casimiro Morcillo González and Luigi Muñoyerro serving as co-consecrators. He was later named bishop of Vitoria on 13 May 1950, and Coadjutor Archbishop of Seville and Titular archbishop of Antiochia in Pisidia on 27 October 1954. As coadjutor, Monreal served under cardinal Pedro Segura y Sáenz.
Bueno y Monreal succeeded Cardinal Segura y Sáenz as Archbishop of Seville on 8 April 1957. He was created Cardinal-priest of Ss. Vito, Modesto e Crescenzia (pro hac vice to title) by Pope John XXIII in the consistory of 15 December 1958. From 1962 to 1965, Monreal attended the Second Vatican Council; along with Cardinal José Quintero Parra, he assisted Cardinal Paul Zoungrana in delivering one of the closing messages of the council on 8 December 1965.[1] He was one of the cardinal electors who participated in the 1963 papal conclave, and again in the conclaves of August and October 1978.
Bueno y Monreal died in Pamplona, at age 82.
