The bishops received the Undersecretary of Worship, in another gesture of détente in front of tensions with the Government

Undersecretary Agustín Caulo met with bishops in an effort to ease tensions between the Church and the Argentine Government.

Undersecretary of Worship Agustín Caulo met on Tuesday with bishops of the Argentine Episcopate, presided over by Archbishop Marcelo Colombo. This meeting follows a prior engagement between Monsignor Colombo and Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, highlighting ongoing legislative and social dialogues. The Episcopate expressed that Caulo's visit was to greet them and to offer the support of the National Secretariat of Worship, suggesting cooperation and engagement with the Church's objectives. The meeting is viewed as a crucial step in reducing the previously escalating tensions between the Argentine government and the Catholic Church, which have been characterized by a noticeable distancing in their relations. Although the bishops did not discuss a potential audience with President Javier Milei, the gesture indicates a willingness on both sides to open channels of communication and foster dialogue during a period of political and social change in Argentina. This development comes amid broader discussions regarding the role of religion in Argentine society and the Church's influence on social policies. The ongoing relationship between the Church and the state may have significant implications for how cultural and ethical issues are addressed in government, especially in light of President Milei's recent initiatives and reforms.
