새로 서임된 호세 마리아 오르테가 주교와 케이 슈말하우센 주교는 “가난한 교회의 도움(ACN)”과의 인터뷰에서 그동안 소홀했던 신자들의 영신생활이 새롭게 강조되어야 한다고 말했다. 남부 페루 안데안 고원에 있는 훌리교구와 아야비리교구의 새로 서임된 주교들로서 현지 교회들안에 “이데오로기 과잉이 있었다”고 말했다. 그분들은 지난 30여년간 “원주민들을 위한 사목”을 희생하고 “사회이념”이 너무 강조되어 왔음을 지적하였다. (2006. 10. 10. 가톨릭통신사)
 
 PERUVIAN BISHOPS TELL ACN, OVEREMPHASIS ON “SOCIAL INTERESTS” HAVE LEFT GAP IN FAITH
 
 Konigstein, Oct. 10, 2006 (CNA) - In an interview this week with Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) newly appointed Peruvian Bishops José Maria Ortega and Kay Schmalhausen have said a new emphasis needs to be placed on the neglected spiritual wellbeing of their people.
 The newly appointed bishops of Juli and Ayaviri, located in the Andean high plateau of southern Peru, told the international aid agency that “there is a lot of ideology” within their local Churches.
 
 The prelates pointed out that, over the past three decades, “social interests” had been overemphasized at the expense of “pastoral care for the indigenous population.”
 “What we have to do now is to promote evangelization and social justice – in accordance with the Magisterium of the Church,” Bishop Ortega stated. “Appropriate catechetical work among laity as well as a sound and proper formation of seminarians are priorities for the next few years.”
 
 The two asked ACN to support their efforts and both bishops made it clear that they would do all in their power to turn around the deterioration in faith and morals in their prelatures.
