.- The president of Caritas Argentina, Bishop Jorge Casaretto, said last week that improving education is the key to overcoming “the inequality and lack of integration among Argentineans.” During a conference on equality and social and political integration at the Catholic University of Argentina, Bishop Casaretto noted that while social problems can be traced in part to a lack of employment, “the crisis experienced by Argentineans is not only economic or political, but rather it is fundamentally moral and ethical because individualism and social irresponsibility have been exacerbated.”
Bishop Casaretto called plans to assist mothers in sending their children to schools very positive, and he said such programs “are still necessary because unemployment has not decreased.”
