PATTIN, Sebastián. Dios en la ciudad. El eco de la Iglesia en los debates de la Convención Constituyente de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (1996). Rev. hist. derecho [online]. 2021, n.62, pp.113-145. ISSN 1853-1784.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the drafting process of the Constitution of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires from the concept of laicism. For this purpose, the Journals of Sessions of the Constituent Convention, documents of the Episcopal Conference and the national press are examined. First, we define the concept of laicism and its usefulness for the field of religious studies in the Argentine case. Then, secondly, we review the position of the Church regarding the reform of the National Constitution in 1994, the immediate antecedent of the Constitution of the City of Buenos Aires. Thirdly, we focus on two issues, on the one hand, health and gender equality and, on the other hand, the invocation of God in the preamble.

Palabras clave : Catholic Church; Constitution; laicism; Catholicism; Religion and Politics.
