Resumen de El «Mercurio Peruano» de Víctor Andrés Belaunde, promotor de los ideales del «Mercurio» de los amantes del país
- español
En el análisis de la ilustración peruana se observa esa visión cristiana, no esbozada de una manera sistemática, sino en diversos ensayos referentes a la humanidad, a la ciencia, a la naturaleza. Tenía importancia la promoción de la concepción de un Dios como ser supremo y creador de toda la naturaleza; del hombre como criatura de Dios, de la pureza de la fe, basada en la iglesia primitiva, de la instrucción y formación de los sacerdotes; del adoctrinamiento riguroso, no superficial de los fieles; de la evangelización, unida a la civilización y de la humanidad de los pobladores.

In the analysis of the Peruvian illustration that Christian vision is observed, not outlined in a systematic way, but in diverse essays referring to humanity, to science, to nature. The promotion of the conception of a God as the supreme being and creator of all nature was important; man as a creature of God, the purity of faith, based on the primitive church, the instruction and training of priests; the rigorous, not superficial, indoctrination of the faithful; evangelization, united to the civilization and the humanity of the settlers was important as well.
El Mercurio of Victor Andrés Belaunde reflects the same vision in Christian humanism that he proclaims. César Pacheco Vélez states that from 1928, the magazine becomes a platform of Catholic thought and the social doctrine of the Church, but open and generously hospitable to the diverse artistic and literary movement, which were very respectful and always in an attitude of dialogue against other trends and doctrines.
