Archbishop Agustin Radrizzani of Mercedes-Lujan in Argentina exhorted Catholic teachers this week to fulfill their mission as disciples of Christ, as some have fallen prey to religious indifference and atheism.
The prelate noted that he would be “failing the truth” if did not share his concern and sorrow, that in some Catholic institutions, there exists “a religious indifference and even an atheism.”
The archbishop made his comments during a Mass for members of the Institute of Teachers from the city of Mercedes.
Education is not only the imparting of knowledge, but also the formation in values, the archbishop continued, adding that in the case of Catholic teachers, they are also responsible for bearing Christian witness to the new generations.
