La Arquidiócesis de Lima creó, también por desmembramiento, otras tres diócesis en el mundo urbano marginal de la metrópoli, al borde del nuevo milenio. De esta manera, en el marco de una experiencia eclesial pastoral lograda particularmente en Lima Sur, de la que aún no se ha dado cuenta, quedó abierta una veta de investigación, que amerita empezar a explorar e interpretar, en la línea demarcada por Manuel Marzal, quien señalaba que el estudio del hecho religioso peruano, apenas está comenzando’.

El Kerygma forma parte del proceso de purificación del Templo que Jesús emprendió desde su Encarnación, acometió en su triple tentación, consumó antes de su Pascua y dejó garantizada y salvaguardada en la visión-misión de la Iglesia que engendró desde su costado abierto. Por eso, el proceso de “desmercantilización” del Templo emprendido por el Maestro poco antes de ser crucificado, es la poderosa fuente de inspiración, de autonomía y de muchas otras dimensiones inéditas con que la Iglesia nació y fue enviada, antes de su posicionamiento y estructuración diocesana, a desarrollar el testimonio kerygmático y la misión apropiada a los actuales tiempos de   ´sacralización´ del Mercado y sus ´inexorables´ leyes económicas, políticas y religiosas. La trayectoria pastoral de la Arquidiócesis de Lima en el Cono Sur de Lima, a lo largo de su previa fase his...

The Archbishop Oscar Romero was assassinated because he decided to legitimize and to accelerate, in his archdiocese and in his society, the transit from vertical, asymmetrical to another more horizontal and community pastoral model, on the relationship between pastors and faithful, in the exercise of authority and the ministry in the diocese. From the perspective of religious anthropology, and from still incipient diocese anthropology, the author conceptualizes and explains that fact as a real and effective reestablishment of the diocese. The author proposes such a process, as a reference for understanding the past of the diocese and the future of the Church, as a paradigm to foresee and to route the current functioning of this organizational unit within the framework of the structural reform of the Church convened three years ago by Pope Francis.

Caritas in Veritate (2009) is the first encyclical letter of Pope Benedict XVI, dedicated specifically to the Social Doctrine of the Church, after having written two others, from the beginning of his pope, Deus Caritas Est (2006) and Spes Salvi(2007). To prepare this article, it was necessary to revise the text  Jesus of Nazareth (2007), the first volume published by the Theologian Pope, so to capture the unity and coherence of his thought. Because, in the second part of Deu scaritas est, before listing the social encyclical letters from Rerum Novarum to Centesimus Annus and from this to the publication of Compendium of the Church’s Social Doctrine, the Pope speaks of charity as the responsibility of the church, he dedicates a special section to justice and politics, and makes important remarks about the relations hip between justice and charity,...

The text highlights the theology´s role that results from performing the pastoral functioning of a Church or diocese in understanding the need and usefulness of its function. It reiterates not only in the ecclesial function of the theology, but also warms, above all, the testimonial wealth of pastors and the faithful, whose public and profound communion realizes a strong option made by the members of such diocesan community: having decided to subordinatethe weight of the structure and tradition to the urgency of the Gospel and the process undertaken for the Kingdom, despite the conflict and the crisis that it implies. After II Vatican Council and Medellin, the understanding and rationale of the theology not only has the biblical, patristic and kerygmatic level, but also the diocesan level, its best and most attractive historical synthesis experien...

The importance of the diocese as a social unit for the project about structural reform of the Church is highlighted; which the Pope Francis has set in his first letter, “The joy of the Gospel”. This project means a real foundation of the diocese, because it demands the return of the Church to the Gospel, and reminds it its condition as primary subject of this structural reform. From an anthropological approach of the diocese, the early contribution to this process of the Archdiocese of Lima from 1954 to 1996 is spelled out. Due to this experience, the diocese ceased to function as a symbolic powerstructure from top to bottom, because the migratory waves and provincial protagonists succeeded in transforming from below and from within the exercise of that power, turning and reversing its conventional orientation.

This is a contextualized article of Pastoral Theology in relation to its anthropology comprehension, since the commemoration of the three first diocesan lustra with a new ecclesiastical community collective identity and the foundation of a parish in the sandy area of the south of Lima by Maryknoll priests. This fact is compared by the author with “Montesinos's Sermon”, pronounced at the end of the first decade of the XVI century, taking into account that those are episodes or symbolic expressions of a unique and always valid process, the institutionalization of the Church, through their dioceses. The pastoral implications of an ecclesiastic community installment and functioning have always an evangelic and prophetic character

From the theology and anthropology of the diocese, a few months before the visit of the Supreme Pontiff to Peru (18-01-2018), the author warns, locates and explains the growing position of Pope Francis’ model in the recent developments of the Catholic Church. It examines the historical background and rootedness of this model among the dioceses of Latin America and the Caribbean, and reveals its theological and pastoral implications in the process of reform of the structures of the Church that the first Latin American pope convened in his Evangelii Gaudium (EG 2013). Meanwhile, and decisively, the Pope Francis’ model has succeeded at mending and exposing the oppositions, inertias and contradictions of the dominant pastoral theological model.

At the end of the last century, the archdiocese of Lima gave birth by dismemberment to the triplets of the new dioceses of Lima: Carabayllo, Chosica and Lurín. This event, which was conceived and developed over more than four decades of a certain pastoral theological model (1954-1996), had in José Gurruchaga, founder of the Diocese of Lurín, the 'father bishop' who resumed with a seal original the structural bases of such a model.From the theology and anthropology of the diocese, different aspects of the implementation of the new diocese of Lurin are described and interpreted, noting in such a foundational phase, the features not only of a new pastoral theological model, which was dissociated from the model theological pastoral dominant. What is found and recorded is also how much it represents and means the installation of the diocese of South Lima during its first foundational ...
