Leo XIV
–
Centro Cultural Peruano Norteamericano (teatro)
Before becoming Pope Leo XIV, Robert Francis Prevost (USA/Peru) had been a quiet but important figure in the Peruvian church. He spent 40 years in the country, from his early days in the Augustinian mission in Chulucanas, to his appointment as Bishop of Chiclayo. The journalist Elise Ann Allen, who specialises in Catholic affairs and writes for Crux, has recently published his biography. In conversation with Paola Ugaz.
Pedro Salinas in conversation with Santiago Vanegas
Sodalitium: rise and fall
–
Colegio de Arquitectos (auditorio)
The Sodalitium of Christian Life was a machinery of power and abuse, and one of the darkest cases involving the Church in Latin America. In La verdad nos hizo libres, Pedro Salinas (Peru) reconstructs the workings of the sect through personal testimonies and rigorous research. This was a network of power and concealment that began to unwind when victims raised their voices and finally the truth became stronger than impunity. The writer will talk to the BBC Mundo journalist, Santiago Vanegas.
Elise Ann Allen, Pablo Quintanilla and Paola Ugaz in conversation with Camila Osorio
South to North Conversations: Catholicism in the 21st century
–
Colegio de Arquitectos (auditorio)
The election of a pope with Peruvian nationality, his role in the changes that are hoped for in the Church, Catholicism’s challenges in terms of maintaining and attracting the faithful in an ever more secular era, what still needs to be done in the dissolution of the Sodalitium… With a quarter of the century passed, it is a good time to ask about the place of religion and Catholicism in the 21st century. Talking about this will be Elise Ann Allen, a journalist who specialises in Catholic affairs, and author of the biography León XIV; Pablo Quintanilla, an essayist and philosopher who has recently published Autoconocimiento y libertad; and Paola Ugaz, one of the journalists who uncovered the systematic abuses of the Sodalitium, and who worked on the book Mitad monjes, mitad soldados; they will be in conversation with the El País journalist Camila Osorio.
