Catolicismos en perspectiva histórica. Argentina y Brasil en diálogo.

The article is a review of the book "Catholicisms in Historical Perspective: Argentina and Brazil in Dialogue," edited by Roberto Di Stefano and Ana Rosa Cloclet Da Silva. The book offers a valuable advancement in the religious history of Argentina and Brazil, highlighting the points of contact and divergences in the religious processes of both countries. It is divided into two parts: "Institutions and Ideas" and "Actions and Practices," addressing topics such as patronage, Church-State relations, the Second Vatican Council, religious orders and congregations, women in the Church, and regional devotions. The compilers highlight the adaptability and recomposition capacity of Catholicism in contexts of secularization, as well as the porosity between institutional Catholicism and religious experiences.
