Mons. Fabián Antúnez SJ reflects on the Gospel of Matthew

Bishop Fabián Antúnez SJ shared reflections on the Gospel of Matthew during recent broadcasts for Puerto de Encuentro on Radio María and Radio Manía, and Momento de reflexión on Radio 41.

Focusing on the passage regarding the payment of taxes, Antúnez explained that Jesus distinguishes between social and civic duties and the primacy of God. He noted that the Gospel asks believers to consider whom they belong to, calling Christians to balance civic engagement, justice, and respect for laws with their identity as children of God.

Antúnez encouraged listeners to discern how they manage the tension between these responsibilities. He suggested that people should seek ways to integrate these duties or, when a law conflicts with religious or ethical convictions, use conscientious objection.
