Peruvian cardinal thanks canonists for hard work and commitment to faith

The Archbishop of Lima, Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani, encouraged members of the Peruvian Association of Canonists in their work despite pressure from secular groups.

“Don’t let the pressure from the secular environment and the large number of causes before you wear you out and make you lose sleep. The most important things are order, adequate time and respect for the norms,” the cardinal said.

Cardinal Cipriani thanked the association for the assistance it gives bishops, and praised members for their hard work over the years and commitment to study.

The cardinal concluded by mentioning his concern for the family and marriage and that they receive both legal and pastoral attention.
