Biography

Higuera was born on 20 December 1842 in Tibasosa, Tunja Province, Republic of New Granada (today located in Boyacá Department, Colombia).[1][2] He was ordained a priest circa 1869.[1][2] On 7 April 1876, he was appointed Titular Bishop of Maximianopolis in Arabia and Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Santafé en Nueva Granada (today the Archdiocese of Bogotá).[1][2] His episcopal consecration was held on 19 May 1878 in the Primatial Cathedral in Bogotá, with Archbishop Vicente Arbeláez Gómez serving as principal consecrator, and Auxiliary Bishop Bonifacio Antonio Toscano serving as co-consecrator.[1][2]

On 4 March 1884, Higuera was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Medellín by Pope Leo XIII.[1][2] He served in that capacity until 25 September 1915, when he died in Medellín at the age of 72.[1][2]

During his time as bishop, Higuera was the co-consecrator of a number of bishops. They are listed as follows, with the year of consecration parenthesized: Severo Garcia (1882), Juan Nepomuceno Rueda Rueda (1882), Bernardo Herrera Restrepo (1885), José Benigo Perilla y Martínez (1887), Joaquín Pardo y Vergara (1892), Eduardo Maldonado Calvo (1905), Atanasio María Vicente Soler y Royo, OFMCap (1907), Manuel Antonio Arboleda y Scarpetta, CM (1907), and Francisco Cristóbal Toro (1911).[1]

Episcopal lineage

Higuera's episcopal lineage is as follows:[1]

gollark: In this situation you can even avoid the bootstrapping-y issues of P2P networks as you can probably just connect back to whoever infected you.
gollark: But making your own probably wildly insecure P2P network to propagate commands is cooler!
gollark: I suppose you *could* do that.
gollark: Ideally several cheap VPSes and fallback to IPFS or something.
gollark: I mean, you could also anonymously rent a cheap VPS.
