Agenzia Fides REPORT –“Rehabilitation of an ethics of politics,” called for by the Bishops' Commission for Pastoral Social; preparing for 100th Plenary Meeting of Bishops' Conference
The Bishop of San Isidro and President of the Bishops' Commission for Pastoral/Social Ministry, Bishop Jorge Casaretto, has recalled that "the new leadership should not limit itself to emergency management, or to populism or demagogies, but must focus on carrying out concrete works for the common good. The bishop has called for the "rehabilitation of an ethics of politics," and stated that "in an existential and pragmatic time, characterized by strong personalities, we need to return to principles" because "the principles are valid if they solve people's problems." After stating that "a good leader is a man of dialogue, but dialogue that seeks consensus," the bishop added that “his testimony gives meaning to his principles, as a good leader makes people happy."Bishop Casaretto spoke at the seminar organized by the Pastoral/Social Commission, which took place Saturday, November 6, and brought together political leaders from the region of Buenos Aires. Among the participants were also the Bishop of Merlo-Moreno and President of Caritas Argentina, Bishop Fernando Bargalló, and the Bishop of San Justo, Bishop Baldomero Martini.The Bishops of Argentina are, starting today November 8, through Saturday, November 13, their 100th Plenary Meeting of the Bishops' Conference, which will be chaired by the Archbishop of Buenos Aires and Primate of Argentina, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio. The sessions will begin with a "pastoral exchange" on the situation of the country and at 7:30 pm with the opening Mass. The central theme of the Assembly will be "The Mission and Priestly Life," proposed by the Bishops' Commission for Ministries. http://www.fides.org/aree/news/newsdet.php?idnews=27761&lan=eng
