José de Jesús Horacio Pimiento Rodríguez (Spanish pronunciation: [xoˈse ðe xeˈsus piˈmjento roˈðɾiɣes]; 18 February 1919 – 3 September 2019) was a Colombian prelate of the Catholic Church who served as Bishop of Montería from 1959 to 1964, Bishop of Garzón-Neiva from 1964 to 1975, and finally Archbishop of Manizales from 1975 to 1996.

[2] After the Nevado del Ruiz volcano erupted in 1985, he helped shelter hundreds of people fleeing other cities in the region.

[3] On 4 January 2015, Pope Francis announced that he would make him a cardinal on 14 February of the same year,[4] four days short of his 96th birthday.

[6] He did not travel to the consistory due to his advanced age; arrangements were made for him to receive his biretta and ring from fellow Colombian cardinal Rubén Salazar Gómez in Bogotá.

[8] Pimiento Rodríguez died from heart failure during the afternoon on 3 September 2019 at a retreat house in Floridablanca, near Bucaramanga.
