Apostolic Nuncio to Mexico

The Apostolic Nuncio in Mexico is the permanent representative of the Holy See (ie the Pope as a subject of international law ) with the Government of the State of Mexico.

Pius IX. posted Monsignor Luigi Clementi, Titular Archbishop of Damascus, as a first Nuncio for Mexico and Central America. As Clementi in November 1851 wanted to present his credentials to Mexico, decided a majority of 53 votes to 33 the Parliament that Pius IX. will not be accepted. On January 12, 1861 was Benito Juarez, Luigi Clementi with Joaquín Francisco Pacheco and Felipe Neri del Barrio, to report to the Guatemalan ambassador. Girolamo Prigione was expected on 24 May 1993 by Juan Jesús Posadas Ocampo at the Puebla airport and was the first apostolic delegate that has been accredited as nuncio to the government of Carlos Salinas de Gortari.
