| dc.description.abstract | The main objective of this study is to explain the
interaction between the Roman Catholic Church and the State
in the case of the Republic of Argentina. It explores the
pervasive influence of the Church at the historical, legal,
political and social levels.
The political role of the Catholic Church has varied
from nation to nation. In most Western democratic countries,
since voters support political parties on grounds that have
little to do with religion, the Catholic Church has lost its
political salience. The Argentinian case, however, presents a
unique scenario. It is a Catholic country with 95% of its
population being Catholic. The democratic process which has
started since December 1983 reinforces the separation of the
spheres of influence of the Church and the state and
guarantees individual freedom of worship. Yet, the Church
still retains a pervasive and influential role in Argentina,
not only in society and community behavior, but also in the
political decision making process. | en_US |
