| Sumario: | The concept of secularization, that founds its most important origin in classic sociology, is a key to understand the history of catholicism on XIX and XX centuries. This concept allows to illuminate the transformations that took place in the relations between the Catholic Church, the society and the State during the last centuries. This concept refers to the presumed decline of religion during the development of the modern society. The purpose of this article is to discuss the significance of this concept for the study of the history of argentine catholi- cism, according to the most recent researches on this subject. The debate about this concept not only is related to a discusion about classic authors of sociolo- gical tradition, but also to other concepts that are frequent in the historiography of argentine catholicism. Specially, we will pay attention to relations between the concept of secularization and that of romanization. |
