On 31 March 2000, Pope John Paul named him Bishop of San Cristobal de las Casas.[3] He succeeded Bishop Samuel Ruiz García, a social progressive who had defended the rights of the indigenous peoples and of the Zapatista rebels. Arizmendi consistently defended Ruiz against his many critics. Arizmendi has a reputation for being theologically conservative but socially progressive.[4]
In 2012, he announced that he would be organizing efforts to translate the Catholic Mass and the Bible into the indigenous language Nahuatl.[5]
On 1 May 2015, Arizmendi submitted his resignation to Pope Francis, but was asked to remain.[6] His resignation was accepted on 3 November 2017.[7]
On 25 October 2020, Pope Francis announced he would raise him to the rank of cardinal at a consistory scheduled for 28 November 2020.[8] At that consistory, Pope France made him Cardinal-Priest of San Luigi Maria Grignion de Montfort.[9] Arizmendi took possession of his titular church the next day.[10]
