Biography

Juan Baptista Benlloch i Vivó and his twin sister, Regina Baptista Benlloch i Vivó, were born in Valencia, Spain on 29 December 1864. He studied at its seminary and obtained his doctorate in theology and doctorate in canon law in October 1887. He was ordained to the priesthood on 25 February 1888, and was then served an auxiliary professor at the Valencia seminary and co-adjutor in Almàssera, teaching humanities and metaphysics. From 1893 to 1898, Benlloch was pastor of the parish of Santos Juan Evangelista y Bautista in Valencia. He then taught at the seminary of Segovia, where he was also chanter of the cathedral chapter, provisor and vicar general (1899–1900), and vicar capitular (1900–1901).

On 16 December 1901, Benlloch was appointed Apostolic Administrator of Solsona and titular bishop of Hermopolis Maior. He received his episcopal consecration on 2 February 1902 from Bishop Jaime Cardona y Tur, with Bishops José Cadena y Eleta and Salvador Castellote y Pinazo serving as co-consecrators, in Madrid. He was later named Bishop of Urgell on 6 December 1906; in this position, he was also Co-Prince of Andorra and composed the text of its national anthem. His tenure saw Andorra enter World War I on the side of the Allies, but it was not included in the Treaty of Versailles and officially remained in a state of belligerency until 1957. The French co-princes of Andorra during Benlloch's leadership include Armand Fallières and Raymond Poincaré.^{[citation needed]}
