Maza Huamán previously served as the vicar general of the Archdiocese of Piura[1] and as a seminary educator. His appointment followed a 20-month vacancy in the archdiocese after the resignation of Archbishop José Antonio Eguren. Commentators, such as theologian Veronique Lecaros of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, noted Maza Huamán's background as a parish priest in rural communities, contrasting his pastoral approach with the leadership of the previous administration.[4]
