Peruvian prelates see vitality in nations Church

Peruvian Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani Thorne, presently in Rome for the Bishops Ad Limina visit, is expressing his joy in the great continental mission underway in Latin America.I think that what was most important was prayer and meeting with the Pope, which was like sons being with their father. Also, we had several visits during which we listened to peoples expectations for priestly vocations and for the continental mission we are currently developing in Latin America. And its a delight to see how this continent of hope bears fruits of religious and priestly life. The Church also sets great hope in this mission that we began after the great encounter in Aparecida.During the interview, this Cardinal and Archbishop of Lima addressed the topic of sects.We Catholics are faithful to our Church, therefore we do not quarrel or argue with sects. Instead, we proclaim Jesus Christ Risen and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. In a word, I believe the challenge of this important mission places us on the right path.In addition, Archbishop Héctor Miguel Cabrejos Vidarte, President of the Peruvian Episcopal Conference, said that despite the current economic and social problems of the country, bishops and priests are called to realize a permanent mission: return to the apostolic Church and proclaim Jesus Christ. He added that, above all, we must always respect the dignity of the human person.However, the proclamation of Jesus Christ does not let us ever forget the human person, the human being, especially those with greater needs. I believe this combines perfectly with the great reality that the Apostle St. James spoke of: faith and works -- show me your works and I will show you your faith. I believe this is the key and synthesis of the Churchs message and activity, in relation to faith and the human reality.
