The Most Reverend Pascual Díaz y Barreto, SJ (June 22, 1876 – May 19, 1936) was a Mexican prelate of the Roman Catholic Church, who served as Archbishop of Mexico City from June 22, 1929 until his death in 1936. Throughout his tenure, he frequently came into conflict with the anti-Catholic Mexican government.
Born in Zapopan, Jalisco, to a family of pure Huichol Indians, Pascual Díaz y Barreto was ordained to the priesthood in 1896 and incardinated into the Society of Jesus, more commonly known as the Jesuits, on October 9, 1903.
On December 11, 1922, he was appointed the sixth Bishop of Tabasco by Pope Pius XI. Díaz received his episcopal consecration on February 2, 1923 from Bishop Maximino Ruiz y Flores, and was installed as Tabasco's ordinary on the following February 28. In 1927, he was sent into exile for carrying out his ministry in a manner which violated the country's Constitution. Díaz was later named Archbishop of Mexico City on June 25, 1929, as a signal of peace following Pope Pius's sanction of the plan of settlement to end the feud between the Mexican Church and the State.
