He was Archbishop of Seville from 1795 to 1799 and was a big supporter of the beatification of the Mallorquín nun Catalina Tomas which was finally achieved on 12 August 1792 when pope Pius VI beatified her. He then became Latin Patriarch of Antioch in 1799 and was made cardinal by pope Pius VII. He died in Lucca in 1813.
