Reader Reviews
Written by what I believe to be a historian, this book offers a very clear and organised account of the Catholic Church in Argentina from the 1800's until present day. The content is very true to its title, as the perspective of the analysis is very much those of political realities and implications. It deals very much with how the organisation within the church, with internal controversies and crisis, the different identities of the church and the constant struggle for power and position by the clergy. This is seen in relation to the political realities of every epoch, and consequently how different ideologies of rule have made the church respond or proact in various ways - and not least, how the church has experienced separation within. Do not expect to obtain alot profound insight into the social dimension of the church, i.e, the position it has held and holds today among the people of the different classes that make up this nation, or how it plays a role in daily life of individuals. Incidentally, Burdick uses theory by the social anthropologist Victor Turner in conceptualising and organising the different phases of change in the relationship between church and state. This has made the analysis more accessible and basically more enjoyable. Not at all overly academic in style, but well structured and seemingly very well researched. PS, Burdicks suggestions regarding Peron's brake with the Catholic Church seem better outlined and more plausible than those of Donna Guy in Sex and Danger in Buenos Aires, even though they treat different subject matters.
