Carlos Castillo Mattasoglio

Carlos Castillo Mattasoglio (28 February 1950–) is Peruvian prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who serves as the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Lima. Quotes I believe that Peru's great illness is individualism, partly caused by a liberalist culture that followed the Fujimori dictatorship, preventing the emergence of a network of grassroots organizations, often called "intermediate bodies". But individualism has also penetrated our faith. Basically, "saving my soul" has emerged as the main objective. Yet this is also what the evangelicals say. In public life attention was given to nascent life, to the fight against abortion, but not to an idea of community, of building a future together. For this reason I firmly believe that this pandemic is a challenge to individualism, and, at the same time, to both our pastoral work and to politics. Coronavirus in Peru. Msgr.
