Biography

Francisco Bartolomé Porró y Reinado, O.F.M. (October 15, 1739 – January 3, 1814) was a Spanish prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Louisiana and the Two Floridas (1801–1803) and Bishop of Tarazona (1803–1814).

Biography

Born in Gibraltar, Porró was a Franciscan of the Convent of the Holy Apostles in Rome. He was appointed Bishop of Louisiana and the Two Floridas in the United States on July 20, 1801, and received his episcopal consecration on the following November 15 from Cardinal Francisco Antonio de Lorenzana. However, he never took possession of the diocese; some say that he was never consecrated, he died before departing from Rome, or he never left because of a rumored sale of Louisiana.

On January 17, 1803, Porro was transferred to the See of Terrazona in Spain. He died in the position at age 74.
