Pope Benedict XVI has invited the chief magistrate of the Central Electoral Board (JCE), Julio Cesar Castanos Guzman to attend the V General Episcopal Conference of Latin American and Caribbean Bishops. The conference will be celebrated in Apreciada, Brazil in May. The invitation comes from the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, and points out that the Apreciada Conference will be an important event for the church in Latin America. The letter also indicated that Castanos' participation in the conference would be coordinated by Bishop Andres Stavnonik, the secretary general of the Episcopal Conference of Latin America (CELAM). Magistrate Castanos is the only Dominican lay person to be invited to the conference and is just one of 16 lay persons from all of Latin America to receive invitations. The reasons why Castanos was chosen have not been revealed.
