| Sumario: | The process of changes that took place in Argentina during the 1960s implied, among other aspects, transformations in daily life, family models, gender roles and sexual morality. In this regard, this article analyzes the way in which two lay groups of Catholic Church self–defined as traditionalists linked their counterrevolutionary strategy with the defense of “natural” family and paternal authority. To achieve this goal, it focuses on the discursive representations of men in the magazine Crusada –who later constituted the Argentine Society of Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP)– and Verbo, organ of Catholic City (CC). This comparative analysis highlights its reactive posture to modernity which did not occlude the creation of innovative counterrevolutionary devices. The paradoxes generated by the role of the laity in the process of Catholic secularization- and at the same time, in undermining ecclesiastical authority- have not been left out. This also refers to the complexities and ambiguities of the processes of change that have usually been identified with modernization. |
