 Eventually the idea lost its momentum, but in 1908 the first Congress of Catholic Youths underlined the importance of a well-rounded, integral education and promoted the foundation of a catholic university "in which students are trained to excel in liberal professions and are taught the core of catholic doctine".The Argentine Episcopate finally decided in favour of this initiative by founding the Catholic University of Buenos Aires in 1910.The bishops proceeded with the conception of this first university regardless of the poor legislation on private institutions of higher education that the country had at the time.
