BARTHOLOMEW DE MARTYRIBUS, Venerable. - Dominican reformer, b. in Lisbon in May 1514, where he was baptized in the church of St. Mary of the Martyrs, from which he took the surname De Martyribus. Having entered the Dominicans in 1527 and completed his studies, he devoted himself to teaching for about twenty years. Master in theology in 1551 at Salamanca and tutor at the royal court for two years, in 1558 he became archbishop of Braga. He took part, as primate of Spain, in the last nine sessions of the Council of Trent, distinguishing himself as a frank and energetic champion of the residency of bishops and of the disciplinary reform of the clergy. The famous phrase is attributed to him: "The most eminent cardinals need a most eminent reform." Having retired in 1582 to private life, he d. in the convent of Vienne on 16 July 1590. His Cause of beatification was introduced on 11 Sept. 1754.
