Gregorio Maria Cardinal Aguirre y Garcia, archbishop of Toledo from 1909 to 1913, primate of Spain.
Cardinal Aguirre again.
Francisco Javier Baztán y Urniza, bishop of Oviedo from 1904 to 1920.
Adolfo Pérez y Muñoz, bishop of the Islas Canarias from 1909 to 1913.
Juan Manuel Sanz y Saravia, bishop of Jaén from 1909 to 1919.And - last but by no means least - His Inevitableness, Fernando Cardinal Quiroga Palacios:
As bishop of Mondoñedo (1945 - 1949)...
... as archbishop of Santiago de Compostela, (1949 - 1971)...
... and as Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church (since 1953). This man is just too good. Every photo I have seen of him so far is great.

That bottom photograph is just superb! What a picture. One can taste the ancien regime upheld. Fascinating stuff. Thnx for this. Would that we might still see a prelate this conscious of his dignity!
