José María Ignacio Montes de Oca y Obregón (26 June 1840 – 19 August 1921) was a Mexican archbishop of the Roman Catholic Church.
A 1905 newspaper article in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat referred to him as "the greatest orator and one of the most learned prelates of the Catholic church of Mexico".[1] At the time, Montes de Oca had been reprimanded by Pope Pius X for a publishing a letter that was critical of a delegation previously sent to Mexico by Pope Leo XIII.[1]
Montes de Oca died in New York City in 1921 while visiting the rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral, shortly after returning from a trip to Spain.[2] It was noted that he had written over 100 books on "ecclesiastical subjects, literature, and poetry".[2]
