El catolicismo social en la Semana Trágica de Buenos Aires (1919)

The Tragic Week on January 1919 triggered different social tendencies which were acting in Buenos Aires during the first postwar period. In a specific political polarization context, the Catholic Church and Catholicism took on an active role in order to defend the social order. Particularly, this article analyses the perspectives with which Social Catholicism of Buenos Aires –especially the one organized by Workers Circles (1892)– acted during the late First World War, which was the attitude towards state and non-state violence used in the general strike and what kinds of initiatives they promoted thereafter.
