As bishop of Chicalyo, Peru, Pope Leo XIV was a strong and unambiguous advocate for the right to life and marriage between one man and one woman.
The defense of life from conception, marriage defined as the union between one man and one woman, and the development of public policies in favor of the family were pillars of the pastoral ministry of Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, when he served as bishop of Chiclayo from 2015–2023, according to those who collaborated with him in northern Peru.

Valdivieso is the academic vice rector of St. Ignatius of Loyola University and former director of the Institute of Sciences for Marriage and Family at St. Turibius of Mogrovejo Catholic University (USAT) in Chiclayo.
