Letter to Consecrated Men, Women, and the Faithful-December 1, 2004.

Dear children and brothers and sisters, For some time now, there have occurred in the city some public expressions of mockery and insults against our Lord Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary, as well as several expressions against the religious and moral values that we profess. I am addressing you today deeply pained by the blasphemy perpetrated in the Recoleta Cultural Center, on the occasion of a plastic arts exhibit. I also regret that this event is being held in a Cultural Center that is supported by funds from the taxes paid by Christian people and people of good will.
