Archbishop Carlos Castillo Mattasoglio of Lima, Peru, has yet to clarify remarks he made in a pre-Christmas Mass that contradict the teaching of the Catholic Church about Jesus’ death.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church affirms that Jesus is “the true priest” whose death is “a redemptive sacrifice.”
Speaking on Dec. 19, however, Castillo stated that Jesus died as “a layman,” and did so without offering a "sacrifice."
"And Jesus doesn’t die offering the sacrifice of a holocaust, Jesus dies as a murdered layman, to which He decides not to respond with vengeance and who accepts the cross to give us a sign of life," the archbishop said during Mass in the Lima cathedral.
"And he dies as a layman who gives hope to humanity, he dies as a human being like all of you who are present here, we too, because we can’t be priests without first being baptized lay people," he said.
Castillo said that “lay person comes from laos, which means people. And God wanted to sanctify his people, and if we are here, it is to serve them.”
The prelate recalled that God had promised Israel that from his people "a shoot would come forth that would be the Savior."
“The poor people of Israel, those who don’t count, took it to heart, while the priests felt they were to fulfill the promise,” who had to take up their role, but “they weren’t the ones who were going to represent salvation, but a layman, a layman like the kings who were laymen, from the tribe of Judah,” Castillo continued.
“I also say that for our fellow priests present here. We are servants of the People of God, so that from you (the people) someone emerges who is hope, just as Jesus is hope,” Castillo said.

I’m not catholic but what the heck is up with all these lunatics denying the Bible and their own doctrine?
Arch enemy Bishop. What a heretic in clergyman clothes.
Ehhh - I interpret his remarks as him trying to say that Jesus died as a MAN to bring salvation to all men. He wasn’t a priest or a political leader - he was one of “us” and we can strive to be like him.
Mattasoglio is a francisbishop, consecrated as one in 2019.
I'm an American and our country has been over taken by lunatics.
Time to fight back.
Just another stupid sh*t in the hinterlands. Pay him no mind.
Another heretic.
You know whats up
Like the difference between charity and welfare, there’s a big difference a labor of love and sacrifice.
