Czechle Bishop of Liu XIV: “Peru in his heart”

Sebastian Samson Ferrari – Vatican City

The Catholic Church celebrates a historical moment: the selection of Pope Liu XII, formerly known as Cardinal Robert Francis Preveost, who practiced the bishop of Chicio and spent most of his pastoral life in Peru.

At a perceived press conference in the Chicken Archdiocese, Monsignor Edinson Farvan Cordoba, the current bishop of the church circle, expressed his deep gratitude and the joy of local Catholic society before the election of “one” as a successor to Saint Peter.

Accompanied by Father Fidel Borissaka Vegil, director of the Social Media Office in the diocese, Munsinor Varvan highlighted the new Pope’s path and his deep relationship with the Peruvian people.

“Pope Liu fourteenth worked from our brother, who passed these lands, in Chulkanas, Tergelu and Chicolay. He loves Peru deeply.”

Pap for roots in the cucumber of the poor

Prevost, a member of the Medal of St. Augustine, adopted the name Leo XIV in reference to Pope Liu XIII, promoting the social doctrine of the Church, as Farvan stressed, taking into account that these elections are a clear sign of continuity in commitment to social justice and the most needed.

“Pope Leo XIV will make a task that relies on the company, dialogue and mixture, as Pope Francis learned,” said Monneor Farvan. In addition, highlighting the sensitivity of the new ink in the face of contemporary challenges: poverty, parties, the participation of secularists and the main role of women in the church.

The missionary profession and communication with people

During the press conference, the Bishop of Chicoli summoned personal tales and common moments with Cardinal Brevost, which he considers his coach. “He knows the world, but his heart is in Peru,” he said. He even remembered the simple and human details of the new Pope, as his taste for local cooking, including the child and rice with ducks and ceviche.

Pope Liu XIII’s path includes more than a decade as the general superiority of Saint Augustine, a religious society with all continents. His global experience completes a deep knowledge of the Peruvian social and pastoral reality.

An invitation to walk together

The last message of the bishop was an invitation to the unit: “Let’s go together. Less words, more work. Civil, religious, military and political authorities must strive to obtain consensus with the public good.” This guidance is frequented by the first known lines about the Pontificate of Leo XIV.
