Gregorio Aguilar (Alexandrian: Grégoire Aguilar; Martino: Gregorio Aguilar) (born 1682 AN) is a Natopian cardinal and the current Archbishop of Dos Gardenias in the Autocephalous Nazarene Church of Alexandria. Born in Geneva to a family with deep roots in the Alexandrian diaspora, Aguilar was ordained in 1706 AN and rose through the church hierarchy in Natopia, serving as a parish priest, cathedral dean, and auxiliary bishop before his appointment as Archbishop of Dos Gardenias in 1729 AN. He was elevated to the cardinalate in 1735 AN. A staunch traditionalist, Aguilar has been a vocal defender of classical liturgical practices and maintains close ties to the House of Carrillo, viewing the imperial family's continued presence in Geneva as providential for the church. He was the traditionalist candidate in the 1752 conclave, championing a platform that emphasized preserving traditional liturgy, strengthening the church's relationship with the House of Carrillo, and affirming that the Holy See of St. Natsanet belongs in Geneva, the ancient capital of Alexandria, where it has always been. Aguilar led the first ballot with 37 of 107 votes but was defeated on the second by Cardinal Armin Wagner, 74 votes to 33; he pledged his obedience to the new Archbishop at the closing of the conclave.
