Life

Education and career

José Martínez de Aldunate was born to José Martínez de Aldunate Barahona and Rosa Josefa Garcés de Marcilla y Molina. After finishing school in Gymnasialkonvikt , the Convictorio de San Francisco Javier in his hometown, he studied law at the Real Universidad de San Felipe Santiago.

In 1767, King Charles III drove away. the Jesuits from all over South America ( Pragmatic Sanction ). As a result, Martínez joined the leadership of the Temporalidades de Indias . This authority was responsible for the administration of the "temporal goods" that had previously been in the possession of the Jesuits.

1804 appointed him Pope Pius VII. To the Bishop of Huamanga in Peru . From 1809 he acted as Bishop of Santiago. At that time he was already 78 years old. For his appointment there is no signed document from the Pope, but this can be explained: The Vatican had other problems at this time, as annexed in May 1809 Napoleon Bonaparte the Papal States and declared the temporal power of the Pope over.

Member of the government junta

As a leading member of the clergy, Martínez was also invited to the open assembly that Governor Mateo de Toro Zambrano y Ureta had called for September 18, 1810. A government junta was elected at the meeting, chairing Toro Zambrano as president. Martínez was elected as deputy.

When Toro Zambrano died in February 1811, Martínez would have been the designated successor. However, the bishop was already seriously ill in the fall of 1811 and died shortly afterwards in April. Instead, the junta was headed by Juan Martínez de Rozas .
