Abstract
El presente artículo es una aproximación a la vida de José Bernal Montero, nacido en Bollullos Par del Condado, reconstruyendo sucesivamente tanto su etapa de estudiante como la profesional. Su perfil fue la de un alumno de familia modesta, brillante, interesado por las antigüedades y comprometido desde su posición de ferviente católico. En tanto que profesional su vida se desarrolló en el marco de la enseñanza universitaria, desde su precoz intento de obtener una cátedra de Derecho Canónico en 1917 hasta alcanzarla en 1945. Veintiocho años después de aspirar por primera vez a esta cátedra universitaria, con seis oposiciones realizadas, llegando en todas ellas a la votación final, por fin lograba su anhelada cátedra. A partir de este momento la Universidad de Oviedo acogerá a este profesor seglar y la de Granada le recibirá en 1951 ordenado ya sacerdote. Regresó a su Bollullos Par del Condado dónde residió los tres últimos años de su vida como capellán del Santuario de Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes.

This article is an overview of the life of José Bernal Montero, native of Bollullos Par del Condado (Huelva, Spain). It reconstructs his student and professional life. His profile was that of a student from a humble family, bright, interested in antiquities and socially committed from his position as a fervent Catholic. As a professional, he worked all his life as a university lecturer, attempting from his early years (1917) to win a Cannon Law Chair until he succeeded in 1945. Twenty-eight years after his first attempt to obtain this Chair, after six competitive examinations, all of them reaching the final ballot, he finally obtained his longed-for professorship. From this date, the University of Oviedo would welcome this secular professor, and the University of Granada welcomed him later in 1951 after he had been ordained a priest. He returned to his home town of Bollullos Par del Condado, where he spent the last three years of his life as chaplain of the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes.
