Agustín Parrado y García (5 October 1872—8 October 1946) was a Spanish Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church who served as Archbishop of Granada from 1934 until his death, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1946 by Pope Pius XII.

Biography

Agustín Parrado y García was born in Fuensaldaña, and studied at the seminary in Valladolid before being ordained to the priesthood on 21 September 1895. He then taught at the Valladolid seminary and at the Pontifical University of Valladolid. After becoming Vice-Rector of the seminary of Valladolid, Parrado was made canon penitentiary of the cathedral chapter of Astorga, director of its diocesan newspaper, and an official of the diocesan curia.

He was later made a diocesan official of Salamanca, dean of the Theological Faculty at the Pontifical University of Salamanca, and Domestic Prelate of His Holiness on 14 June 1922.

On 20 May 1925, Parrado was appointed Bishop of Palencia by Pope Benedict XV. He received his episcopal consecration in the same year from Archbishop Julián de Diego y García Alcolea, with Bishops Manuel de Castro y Alosnso and Manuel Vidal y Boullon serving as co-consecrators, in the Cathedral of Salamanca.

Parrado was later named Archbishop of Granada, ending a nearly four-year-long vacancy, on 7 March 1934 and an Assistant at the Pontifical Throne on 17 October 1945. Pope Pius XII created him Cardinal Priest of Sant'Agostino in the consistory of 22 February 1946.

The Cardinal died in Granada, at age 74. He is buried in the metropolitan cathedral of Granada.

gollark: Obviously, this is because all scientific publications ever censor anything which governments might not want talked about.

gollark: This is impressively something.

gollark: I resent this.

gollark: Mine alternate between relatively sane and coherent and wanting to ban all caravans and drone-strike politicians they don't like (well, that's just one of them really).

gollark: They wouldn't actually use them randomly, and it would be entirely impractical to use them on satellites or something.
