THE POPE APPOINTS A LEFTIST AS A SUCCESSOR OF CARD. CIPRIANI
January 25, 2019
The Pope appoints Carlos Mattasoglio as archbishop of Lima to replace Juan Luis Cipriani.
The Peruvian newspaper La República offers some anecdotes of his life:
His doctoral thesis was on Bartolome de las Casas and when he was a student of sociology at the National University of San Marcos, he joined the National Union of Catholic Students where he met Father Gustavo Gutiérrez , author of the "Theology of Liberation", with whom [he] made a lasting friendship.
With regard to the celebration of Father Gutiérrez's 90th birthday, in June of last year, La República spoke with the now archbishop of Lima about his friendship with him.
"Gustavo has been a transmitter of that we can not be isolated Christians, and less in theology, which is a reflection on faith, taking into account the word of God," the priest said.
He said that, along with other lay people and priests, he participated with Gutiérrez in long debates about the Church and his option for the poor, which helped to create the innovative theological current.
In 1968, at a meeting of laity organized in Chimbote , Father Gutiérrez gave a presentation on social change. A month later, he presented it to the Episcopal Conference of Medellín, calling it, for the first time, Liberation Theology.
It was ordered by Landázuri
- Carlos Castillo Mattasoglio was ordained a priest on July 15, 1984 , at the age of 34, by former Cardinal Juan Landázuri Rickets, with whom he maintained a great friendship.

The philomarxist Francisco has produced a turn to the left also in Argentina, where the successor of the worthy (like Card. Cipriani) Archbishop Aguer of La Plata, is the leftist Victor Manuel "Tucho" Fernandez, who a few weeks ago has prohibited the Traditional Mass in his diocese:
The Archbishop of La Plata, so much time right hand of Francisco in the shade, Victor Manuel Fernandez, "Tucho", newly named Archbishop of La Plata, has just issued two decrees in which basically prohibits in his diocese of Argentina the traditional mass, contravening the provisions of Benedict XVI in his motu [proprio] Summorum pontificum.
And on December 17, Fernandez promulgated a decree in which he abrogates "all previous archdiocesan norms referring to liturgical celebrations in general." Only a week later, the same day of Christmas Eve, December 24, decreed that the sacraments always be celebrated "in the vernacular", that is, only in Spanish.
The Mass, the newly appointed archbishop and confidant of His Holiness, has to be celebrated "in its ordinary form", "in the vernacular language" (not in Latin) and "in the face of the people". In short, the pope's choice to replace Monsignor Aguer, whose resignation by age was accepted in seconds, supposes ignoring the motu proprio of Benedict XVI, which eliminates the requirement of asking permission from the ordinary to celebrate the common mass of the Church for centuries.
