Javier Lozano Barragán (born 26 January 1933) is a Mexican Cardinal Deacon of "San Michele Archangelo" and President of the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Health Care Workers in the Roman Catholic Church.

Early life and Education

Born in Toluca, State of México, Lozano Barragán trained as a priest in Zamora, Michoacán, and at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, where earned a doctorate in theology and was ordained in 1955.

Bishop

In 1979, Lozano Barragán was appointed auxiliary Bishop of Mexico City, then Bishop of Zacatecas in 1984. He came to the Vatican in 1996 as President of the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Health Care Workers, and was named Archbishop ad personam.

Cardinalate

Archbishop Lozano Barragán was elevated to Cardinal Deacon by Pope John Paul II on 21 October 2003.

Cardinal Barragán was among the first to promote the canonization of Pope John Paul II after his death in April 2005, claiming that the 1990 recovery of a boy with terminal leukemia, whom the Pope blessed, is a miracle attributable to John Paul. Lozano Barragán was also one of the cardinal electors who participated in the 2005 papal conclave that selected Pope Benedict XVI.
