This sector of the Catholicism, the more committed with clandestine repressive methods, believed that human rights represented a new weapon of "subversion" to debilitate and discredit the image of the Military Board abroad. Starting from analyzing two particular junctures of those years -the document prepared by the Episcopal Conference of Argentina in May 1977 and the World Cup next year- this paper will attempt to show the positions taken by the catholic groups and the traditionalist bishops around allegations of human rights violations, and also will show the tensions within the interior of catholic Episcopate in regard of its first pronouncements on the subject. Durante los primeros años del “Proceso de Reorganización Nacional” (1976-1983) un sector del catolicismo argentino, los tradicionalistas católicos, emprendieron una “cruzada” condenatoria contra las denuncias sobre violaciones a los derechos humanos que se estaban cometiendo desde el Estado. Este sector del catolicismo, el más comprometido con los métodos represivos clandestinos, consideraba que los derechos humanos representaban una nueva arma de la “subversión” para debilitar y desprestigiar la imagen de la Junta Militar en el exterior. A partir de analizar dos coyunturas particulares de aquellos años ­–el documento redactado por la Conferencia Episcopal Argentina en mayo de 1977 y el Mundial de Fútbol del año siguiente– el presente trabajo intentará dar cuenta de las posturas adoptadas por los grupos laicos y por los obispos tradicionalistas en torno a las denuncias de las violaciones a los derechos humanos, además de mostrar las tensiones al interior del Episcopado católico ante sus primeros pronunciamientos acerca de la temática.  Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
