Monsignor Oscar Ojea, the president of the Argentine Episcopal Conference, made a harsh reflection on the occasion of July 9, in which he pointed directly to current issues and made reference to corruption in all spheres of society. He did not forget to mention, in this context, the political leadership: “It is far from the problems of the people.”
The weighty members of the Church have their ideology but tend to avoid forceful pronouncements: none wants to plunge into the crack and have their words interpreted in favor of or once morest some political faction. However, reality challenges them and forces them to take a position.
In the case of Ojea, in his reflection on the national date, he assessed the conditions of the country and the people with a reference to the complex economic conditions that are present. “At this moment with such high poverty rates and with inequality, such manifest inequality among Argentines, it is essential to value the immense effort to make ends meet,” he highlighted in his message, which was recorded.
Along these lines, the ecclesiastical representative indicated that “the people” are not valued as they should. And he remembered that when the pandemic went through there was support from the working class, which put his life at risk. Then, the Bishop of San Isidro has in his presentation words that generate noise in great proportions: “Corruption tires, which is the search for power for power itself, not the power to serve, not the power to provide an authentic service to the common good, but the power to survive, not even to transform; A leadership that is far from the concrete problems of the people is tiring”.
A message addressed to the Government? A concept dedicated to Together for Change or to Javier Milei? Not at all, clarifies a source from the Episcopal Conference before PROFILE: the representative, who is the bishop of San Isidro, refers to all corruption and in all sectors where it is present or may occur.
Finally, Ojea ended by praying to “recover our Thanksgiving for the country we have and not speak so badly of it.”
