Late in his administration, a series of pamphlets were distributed which were seen as attacking Segura's enemies, who were considered to include the Pope and the Spanish nuncio.[7] Segura was considered to have been the source of the pamphlets. The Holy See applauded the Chapter of Seville Cathedral's condemnation of these leaflets. The appointment of José Bueno y Monreal as coadjutor archbishop by the Vatican was seen as response to the publication of the pamphlets. In November 1954 Segura was recalled from his position by the Vatican but refused to leave the Archiepiscopal Palace and had to be removed by police.[8]
The author Laurie Lee on page 40 of his book A Rose for Winter, describes a mass he attended in 1949 at Seville Cathedral which was presided over by the Archbishop.
Segura died from a kidney ailment in Madrid, at age 76.[9] He is buried in Cerro del Sagrado Corazón.
