"Bolivia is right now in need of profound changes, in order to become a homeland for all people. This leads us, as Bishops, to make continual appeals so that everything may take place in tranquility, without violence, without hate or revenge. This is the call that we are constantly making, asking all to be capable of dialoguing, of healing wounds, working towards national reconciliation."

"Latin America, with the exception of course of some small groups, has always manifested itself with a strong ecclesial communion with the Holy Father and adherence to his teaching. I believe that the episcopates move in that perspective and also all the organizations of the People of God. I believe the main challenge is to maintain this unity, to make it patent in difficult moments, to express it."
