Notes on the Christian Left and secularization in Argentina

This essay explores the relevance of the category “left” to identify a set of political initiatives, social movements, and theological discourses typical of Christianity in the 1960s and 1970s. At the same time, it investigates the pathways that connect the emergence of a Christian left with the process of secularization, especially with the so-called “internal secularization” of Catholicism. The work proposes a tour of the debates around the relevance of the dyad in Catholicism, justifying its use for two reasons. On the one hand, because it allows the confluence of studies on Catholicism with the rest of intellectual and political history, analyzing movements, publications and religious orders with categories similar to those used to think of other political groups of left and right. On the other hand, because the religious can be understood as a form of symbolization of the political, where ideological differences are theologized.
