Bartolomé Lobo Guerrero (1546 – January 12, 1622) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Archbishop of Lima (1607–1622), after serving as the second Archbishop of Santafé (Bogotá) in the New Kingdom of Granada (1596–1607).[1][2] As Archbishop of Lima, Lobo Guerrero is considered the initiator of the "first systematic, centrally organized campaign for the extirpation of idolatry in the archdiocese of Lima."[3]
Bartolomé Lobo Guerrero was born in Ronda, Spain.[2] On August 12, 1596, Pope Clement VIII, appointed him Archbishop of Archbishop of Santafé en Nueva Granada.[1][2] On August 24, 1596, he was consecrated bishop by Diego de Romano y Govea, Bishop of Tlaxcala (Puebla de los Angeles).[2] During his time in Mexico, he served as an interrogator for the Mexican Inquisition and participated, along with Alonso de Peralta and Juan de Cervantes, in the torture of accused Judaizer Luis de Carvajal the Younger and others.[4] On November 19, 1607, Pope Paul V, appointed him the fourth Archbishop of Lima (installed October 4, 1609) where he served until his death on January 12, 1622.[1][2]
