“…It is telling that the young Ameghino wrote a short journalistic note mocking the image of the Virgin and her cult (Ameghino, 1936). As other authors have also observed, the small rural district of Luján became a territorial symbol disputed by secularists and Catholics (Di Stefano and Mauro, 2016). It was the town of the first of the country’s scientific notabilities, it hid paleontological treasures that would prove the theory of evolution (a Dominican friar had excavated there the skeleton of a megatherium in 1776), and it was at the same time Argentine’s most popular place of Catholic devotion.…”

This article considers the relationships between science and religion (Catholicism) in Argentina from 1820 to mid-20th century as a case of what David Martin has characterized as the French (Latin) pattern of secularization. It examines the role of science and scientific discourse in three episodes in which secularizing measures were discussed and in two cases applied by the state: restrictions to the activities of the regular clergy in 1822; legislation transferring church functions to the state and establishing of non-confessional elementary education in the 1880s; and the attempts in the 1910s at transforming Catholic centers of cult into secular shrines and investing secular images with sacred meanings. The analysis confirms the widely held view that science as such was not the engine of secularization and suggests that it was the pattern of secularization which shaped the relationships between science and religion in a given society.

“…“Likewise, the image of the Virgin Mary symbolized a feminine orientation which Catholicism imprinted upon its own specific conquest of the world during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Changes in gender relations, the ‘desertion’ of males from the rank and file of the Church, and the feminization of religion (a phenomenon also notable within Protestantism) had an influence on the pastoral strategies of the Church and gave incentive to new forms of association, of worship and charity whose protagonists were either secular or religious women who were inspired by the religiosity of Mary” (Di Stefano and Ramón Solans, 2006: 12).…”

After the creation of the Diocese of Viedma (1953), in Northern Patagonia, there took place the dedication to the Missionary Virgin, promoted by the Diocese’s second Bishop, Monsignor Miguel Hesayne (1975–1993). In the midst of the military dictatorship (1976–1983), he appointed her Patron Saint of Río Negro, a province that at the time belonged to the Diocese of Viedma. He followed the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, especially the Puebla Document, which considers the Virgin Mary as the patron saint of the Americas, with the dedication of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Hesayne sought to identify his Diocese with a female figure with indigenous features, like the Virgin of Guadalupe. In conceiving the Missionary Virgin deprived of ornaments and royal attributes, the bishop aimed to reflect his pastoral of the “option for the poor,” thus bringing attention to the marginalized groups and peripheral spaces of the province, and also attributing a new meaning to its social and territorial identity.
