Biography
Luis Suárez was born in Toledo, Spain. In 1939, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Paul III as Auxiliary Bishop of Benevento and consecrated bishop by Cardinal Juan Pardo de Tavera, Archbishop of Toledo. On 1 Oct 1554, he was appointed, with the recommendation of Cardinal Pardo de Tavera, during the papacy of Pope Julius III as Bishop of Dragonara. It is uncertain how long he served although he is named as the diocese's last bishop. The diocese was suppressed in 1580. Some sources state that he was promoted to the Diocese of Alghero on Sardinia where he died. While bishop, he was the principal co-consecrator of Francisco Delgado López, Bishop of Lugo (1562).
