He headed the research group “Church Social Ethics” of the Organización de las Universidades Católicas de América Latina (ODUCAL) and the Theological Commission of the Argentine Religious Conference ( Conferencia Argentina de Religiosos y Religiosas , CONFAR). He was an advisor to the Latin American Bishops' Council (CELAM) and the Latin American Religious Conference ( Confederación Latinoamericana de Religiosos , CLAR). From 1969 he was a member of the editorial board of the magazine Stromata , from 1975 to the editorial committee for fundamental theology of Concilium .
