The Life

Andrés Luis García Jasso was born on 16 September 1973 at Nuevo Laredo, in the then diocese of Matamoros, and was ordained a priest on 5 May 2007, incardinated in the metropolitan archdiocese of Mexico; the Holy See bulletin, the CEM directorio and GCatholic agree on all three dates, and the roster born date agrees. He took an accounting degree at the Universidad Autonoma de Tamaulipas, joined the Neocatechumenal Way, and took his basic priestly formation at the Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Mexico City, then a licentiate in canon law at the Universidad de Salamanca, Spain, 2007-2010. His offices, as the bulletin gives them, were rector of Sagrada Familia parish, Iztapalapa, and parish vicar of San Francisco de Asis, 2010-2013; notary of the Ecclesiastical Tribunal of the metropolitan archdiocese of Mexico, 2010-2012; adjunct judicial vicar, 2012-2013; from 2013, judicial vicar and president of the same Tribunal; 2014-2020, member of the Commission for the Protection of Minors; from 2012, professor of canon law at the Universidad Catolica Lumen Gentium; and since 2017, vice-rector of the Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Mexico City. He is diocesan clergy of Mexico, with no religious congregation and no religious initials; Neocatechumenal Way formation and Redemptoris Mater Seminary formation are not a congregation. No pastoral zone or vicariate assignment in Mexico was established; his standing office is judicial vicar and tribunal president.

He was appointed auxiliary bishop of Mexico on 3 July 2021, with the titular see of Tipasa in Numidia, described in the bulletin as 'until now judicial vicar,' and was consecrated bishop on 24 August 2021; under the auxiliary-start rule the tenure codes from consecration, never from the appointment, and no separate installation was found. His consecrator and the venue of the 24 August 2021 consecration are unestablished and left blank, and neither the Basilica de Guadalupe, the Metropolitan Cathedral, nor Cardinal Aguiar Retes is inferred as consecrator or venue. His priestly ordainer is not established, and his diaconal ordination date is not asserted (a Catholic-Hierarchy 10 June day-events page is search-rendered only, implying 10 June 2006, and was never opened). He was still auxiliary bishop of Mexico at as_of, on the GCatholic Bishops of Mexico page (crawled 28 October 2026) and the English Wikipedia Archdiocese of Mexico page's current-auxiliaries list; no transfer, resignation, or successor news surfaced. The English Wikipedia archdiocese page's current-auxiliaries section lists him as 'appointed 24 Aug 2021,' a recorded error, not followed, since 24 August 2021 is the consecration date and the appointment was 3 July 2021.

What he inheritedOpen tenure falling entirely inside the Traditionis custodes window; no governing act of his own concerning the 1962 Missal was found for it through as_of, and no statement of his concerning communion with the Society of St. Pius X after the Holy See's 2 July 2026 schism declaration was found. The Archbishop of Mexico's acts and CEM collective acts are background only, never his. His judicial-vicar function in the 2025 Basilica of Guadalupe matter is background only, not coded: the removal decision was Aguiar's decree, not his act.
Since the SSPX decree of 2 July 2026: No statement recorded as of 2026-10-28.

La dimensión práctica de juzgar desde el contexto eclesial — Estudios: filosofía, historia, letras 23, no. 152 · 2025HELD CANDIDATE, NOT SHIPPED AS A WORK. Index anchor only: two independent indexes agree on author, title, journal, volume, issue, page 211, and DOI, and the abstract subject (foundations, attributes and functions of the Church's judicial power, last section on matrimonial cases) fits a judicial vicar exactly. THE JOURNAL PAGE HAS NEVER BEEN OPENED BY ANYONE: the parent's own DOI open attempt October 2026 failed HTTP 503 (upstream), the same failure the worker recorded - the 503 proves nothing about the DOI. Do NOT ship the article until the journal page is opened. Recorded here only so the candidate is not lost.
