"For years the Church has been the country's only moral point of reference. Faced with a people who look to her with hope, the Church has a grave responsibility to not disappoint them and to ensure that her activity and life are always exemplary giving testimony of coherence between what is preached and what is practised. If good example is necessary everywhere, this is certainly true in Peru where there is a serious institutional crisis of government, ethic and moral values and a marked presence of religious sects."
