Juan Pérez de la Serna

Juan Pérez de la Serna (1570 – 8 August 1631) was a Spanish prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the archbishop of the Archdiocese of Mexico. Quotes about Juan Pérez de la Serna He proved zealous in extending spiritual administration through curacies and convents, striving to bring into greater veneration sacred places and relics, and to practise charity in a manner that brought him in contact with the poor and assisted to make him popular with the masses. Among the rich and the officials he found less welcome, owing partly to his persevering efforts for episcopal rights, partly to the enforcement of a stricter morality among the higher classes.
