Biography

Arguinao y Gutiérrez was born in Lima, Viceroyalty of Peru, in April 1588. He joined the Dominican Order and was ordained a priest.

On 10 September 1646, Pope Innocent X appointed Arguinao bishop of Santa Cruz de la Sierra in what is now Bolivia. He was consecrated bishop on 17 November 1647 by Pedro de Villagómez Vivanco, the archbishop of Lima. He served there until 1659, when he became archbishop of Santafé en Nueva Granada (now the Archdiocese of Bogotá in what is now Colombia). He was selected to that position on 10 July 1659, and was confirmed on 10 November of that year.
