Archbishop Percy Galván addresses usury and discrimination during Sunday Mass

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Archbishop Percy Galván spoke about the two great commandments of the Gospel during a Sunday Mass at the Metropolitan Cathedral of La Paz. He addressed the requirement to love God above all things and to love one's neighbor as oneself.

Galván used the Virgin Mary as an example of absolute love for God, noting how she accepted her role as the mother of Jesus despite the personal risks involved. He also expressed gratitude for a blessing received for an image of the Virgin of Mercy.

The archbishop criticized social inconsistencies regarding faith, stating that material goods, work, or personal preferences often take precedence over God. He specifically identified usury and the discrimination of migrants as practices that contradict a profession of faith.
