This text analyzes the impact of the connection between the repressive policies deployed by the last argentine military dictatorship (1976-1983) and the actions of the ecclesiastical hierarchy on the religious diversity that existed in the 1970s. In this sense, it offers an approach that addresses the way bishops and other voices positioned themselves vis-à-vis different religions that were considered "sects" that challenged the catholic presence. The main hypothesis maintains that the positions and discourses that circulated in catholicism during the dictatorship regarding religious diversity are linked to two different but connected processes. On the one hand, the dictatorship itself, with its self-representation as a defender of the church and catholicism and, in general, its repressive deployment, established the framework within which demands proliferated for order to also be translated into the religious space, reconfiguring the forms of regulation. On the other hand, on a broader level, catholicism developed a self-critical view of its social presence and called for an evangelization that included, among its dimensions, the fight against what was considered an "invasion" of a space that was assumed to be its own due to history and culture
The consolidation of Muslim communities in European multicultural societies has transformed Muslims' views on the role of Islam in Europe and, by extension, their vision of public space. This study examines some of the ways in which Islam takes on meaning within the collective imaginaries of Muslim individuals and communities. It also explores the contribution of contemporary Islamic thought, linked to a subaltern class consciousness, to the management of the problematic of space, through an investigation focused on the demands related to funeral services in the Autonomous Community of Madrid.

The objective of this article is to analyze the vision of the written press of Tarapac & aacute; about the Fiesta de La Tirana between 1891 and 1937. Through the critical analysis of Van Dijk's discourse and its contextual relationship, we seek to identify the importance of the press as a shaper of representations and of the religious system of the Tamarugal area, evidencing the change in the narratives, which went from a critical view to a positive one. This process was influenced by the consolidation of the festivity, the rapprochement between the Catholic Church and the religious dances, and the disappearance of some newspapers. Likewise, two fundamental axes can be identified in these narratives: a nationalist one, which in its first discourses characterized the festivity as a pagan practice, and an enlightened one, which conceived it as an obstacle to civilization and economic interests.
This article examines the Catholic Church's involvement in armed conflicts in Honduras between 1821 and 1872, using Jerzy Topolski's pragmatic methodology of history. The study identifies a recurring pattern: during periods of sede vacante, local church provisors promoted civil wars to influence the secular government, while during episcopal governance, the Church tended to cooperate with the government against external threats and internal rebellions. The analysis draws on primary sources such as 19thcentury official newspapers, ecclesiastical proclamations, and documents from the Honduran National Archives, along with specialized historical literature. It concludes that the Church's gradual loss of political influence resulted from both military defeats and institutional reforms, culminating in the formal separation of Church and State in 1880. The article contributes to the study of political religion, clerical authority, and state formation in Central America.
