La Santa Sede: La dignidad de los ancianos no se desvanece con la fragilidad

In brief

Archbishop Ettore Balestrero stated that the dignity of elderly people does not fade with fragility. Speaking during the 63rd ordinary session of the Council, the Holy See's permanent observer to the United Nations and other international organizations in Geneva emphasized the need for dialogue, understanding, and accompaniment.

Balestrero noted these measures are necessary so that older people can remain active members of society, capable of both receiving and contributing.
