The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Madrid was founded on 7 March 1885 by Pope Leo XIII. Initially, the territory that now makes up the Archdiocese was part of the Archdiocese of Toledo. It was raised to the level of an Archdiocese on 25 March 1964 by Pope Paul VI. Pope John Paul II gave the Archdiocese Metropolitan status on 23 July 1991, while creating two suffragan dioceses: Getafe and Alcalá de Henares. On 28 August 2014, Pope Francis accepted the resignation of Antonio María Rouco Varela and appointed Carlos Osoro Sierra, until then Archbishop of Valencia, as Archbishop of Madrid.
