Biography
Escribano was born in Carballo in Galicia due to his father's mining job, and was raised from the age of seven months in Monzón in Aragon.[1] He studied business at the University of Zaragoza,[2] and went on to work for local businesses.[3]
Escribano went to seminary in Lleida, as Monzón was part of the Catalan city's dicocese until 1995.[3] He graduated with a degree in moral theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in 1996, being ordained a priest on 14 July that year.[4]
On 20 July 2010, Escribano was named Bishop of Teruel and Albarracín by Pope Benedict XVI.[5] He was ordained a bishop on 26 September at Teruel Cathedral by cardinal Antonio María Rouco Varela.[6]
After Juan José Omella moved to become Archbishop of Barcelona, Escribano was named Bishop of Calahorra y La Calzada-Logroño on 13 May 2016.[7] He took office at Calahorra Cathedral on 25 June.[3]
On 6 October 2020, Escribano was named Archbishop of Zaragoza as Vicente Jiménez Zamora retired age 75.[8] He took office on 21 November at the Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar, in a ceremony reduced by COVID-19 pandemic protocols.[9] On 29 June 2021, he was one of 36 new archbishops to be given their pallium by Pope Francis at St. Peter's Basilica.[10]
