Convinced that Church law is not a theoretical discipline, he emphasizes that its purpose is very concrete: serve<\/a> to truth, justice and people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2012, at the age of 19, he left his university studies in Geography and History and entered the seminary. Eight years later he was ordained priest<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
