José Diéguez Reboredo (25 April 1934 – 18 July 2022)[1] was a Spanish Roman Catholic priest who served as bishop of Osma-Soria (1984–1987), Ourense (1987–1996) and Tui-Vigo (1996–2010).[2]
Diéguez studied at the Seminary of Santiago de Compostela and in Salamanca. He graduated in exact sciences from the University of Santiago de Compostela and was a professor of mathematics at the Minor Seminary of Compostela. He was also Bishop of Osma-Soria (1984–1987) and Orense (1987–1996).
On 7 June 1996, he took over the diocese of Tuy-Vigo. In April 2009 he submitted to the Pope his resignation for having turned seventy-five years of age,[3] a resignation that was accepted on 28 January 2010.[2]
Diéguez died in the early afternoon of 18 July 2022, in Santiago de Compostela, where he was chaplain of the Little Sisters of the Forsaken Elderly. A few days earlier he had suffered a stroke for which he had been hospitalized.[1]
