Biography
Enrique Reig was born in Valencia, Spain, and was educated at the diocesan seminary of Valencia. He left his studies to get married. He worked as a lawyer in Valencia. When his wife died in 1885 he returned to the seminary.[1]
He was ordained in 1886 in Valencia. He worked in the Diocese of Almeria from 1886 until 1901 doing pastoral work and as a faculty member of its seminary as well as serving as its chancellor and vicar general. In 1901 he was transferred to the Archdiocese of Toledo where he served until 1914 as an archdeacon and canon of the cathedral chapter and its vicar general. He was created Protonotary apostolic on 22 March 1903. He was an Auditor of Sacred Rota of Madrid in 1904 and was Rector of the University of Madrid.[1]
He was appointed as Bishop of Barcelona on 28 March 1914, when Barcelona was not yet an archdiocese. He was named Archbishop of Valencia on 22 April 1920. He was transferred to the see of Toledo on 14 December 1922 at the same time he was named a cardinal. As Archbishop of Toledo, he also held the title Primate of Spain.
Pope Pius XI made him Cardinal-Priest of San Pietro in Montorio at the consistory of 11 December 1922.[2] To do so, Pius ignored the rule established in 1585 by Pope Sixtus V that no one who had been married could be made a cardinal.[3]
He died on 25 August 1927 and was buried at the metropolitan cathedral of Toledo.[2]
