Lima, Peru, Jul 24, 2012 \/ 04:08 pm (CNA<\/a>).- The Vatican has urged the bishops of Peru to not be manipulated by administrators of the former Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, in wake of the Holy See's decision to strip the school of its \u201cPontifical\u201d and \u201cCatholic\u201d titles.<\/p>\n

\tIn a letter sent to the president of the Peruvian Bishops' Conference, Archbishop Salvador Pineiro, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone asked that the bishops not allow the conference \u201cto be used as an instrument by the rector\u2019s office of the university.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe Vatican removed the school's Catholic credentials on July 21 after months of discussions between both sides, which began after a 2011 Vatican inspection of the university carried out by Cardinal Peter Erdo of Budapest. He traveled to Peru, where he found the Lima-based institution at odds with the Catholic Church in several significant areas of policy.<\/p>\n

\tIn a letter published July 22 in local newspaper El Comercio, Cardinal Bertone encouraged Archbishop Pineiro to support the Holy See\u2019s position and the Archdiocese of Lima, and to firmly reject \u201cany contrary intervention.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tHe also said it was inappropriate that five members of the Bishops' Conference, who were unelected to do so by the Plenary Assembly of the Bishops of Peru, \u201cparticipate in an organization established by statutes that have not been legitimately approved.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tCardinal Bertone\u2019s request came after the bishops in question issued a statement on April 17 calling for a \u201ccomprehensive solution\u201d to the dispute and setting as a condition that the Archdiocese of Lima drop its lawsuit over the intentions of Jose Riva-Aguero, who donated land to the university in his will.<\/p>\n

\tRiva Aguero stipulated that the university could use the land as long as a representative of the Church was allowed a permanent seat on its governing board.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThat statement has contributed to the misinformation, and therefore it would be appropriate for the conference to repair the misinformation,\u201d Cardinal Bertone said in his letter.<\/p>\n

\tThe Vatican Secretary of State also expressed \u201cbewilderment\u201d over a number of initiatives promoted by the former Catholic university.<\/p>\n

\tThese included the school's recognitions of Gregorio Peces-Barba, an anti-Catholic Spanish ideologue and one of the authors of the controversial school course Education for the Citizenry in Spain, and Father Gaston Garatea, who was suspended from priestly ministry by the Archdiocese of Lima for holding positions contrary to Catholic teaching. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\tCardinal Bertone also referred to the university\u2019s Theology Department and its required reading of the book, \u201cLiberation Theology: Perspectives,\u201d by Liberation Theology proponent Father Gustavo Gutierrez.<\/p>\n
