Jaime Fuentes

The author reflects on the concept of secularism based on an episode that took place decades ago in the Legislative Palace of Montevideo, where all the senators had to make a statement and express their opinion on a cross. A debate that is not distant, but that today is indisputably topical. 

The Church in Uruguay has always responded to attacks by forming its faithful, teaching them to pray, with a well-celebrated liturgy and, on occasion, with public demonstrations of faith.

Although with a very high rate of people who say they have no religious affiliation, as well as a secularized culture that is permeating society, the Church in Uruguay is nonetheless alive.
