Holy See–Peru relations are foreign relations between the Holy See and Peru.
History
Both countries initiated diplomatic contacts under Pius IX after a series of visits by Monsignor Bartolomé Herrera [es], with diplomatic relations being officially established in 1859 under Luis Mesones between Peru and the Papal States.[1][2][3] During a mission by Pedro Gálvez Egúsquiza, the Bula Praeclara Inter Beneficia was issued on March 5, 1875, Apostolic Letters that recognized the Presidents of Peru the exercise of the Right of Patronage that de facto they had exercised since the country's independence as successors of the Monarchs of Spain.[3]
An agreement was signed on July 19, 1980, effective since the 26th of the same month. It established the prerogatives, tax exemptions, the legal status of the Catholic Church and recognizes its importance in the historical, cultural and moral formation of the country.[3]
Pope John Paul II made two pastoral visits. The first was in February 1985 and the second in May 1988. Pope Francis made one in January 2018.[3]
