Their story
Florentino Asensio Barroso was a Spanish bishop. He held the position of apostolic administrator of Barbastro between 1935 and 1936, serving effectively for a few months before being tortured and executed by militiamen shortly after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. He was one of the thirteen bishops murdered during the civil war, a victim of religious persecution. He was proclaimed a martyr by the Catholic Church and beatified by John Paul II in 1997.
