Historian Roy Hora analyzes why Argentina lacks a sustained tradition of Catholic businessmen. He examines if figures like Enrique Shaw and Julio Steverlynck are exceptions. The study also looks at the conflict between Perón and the Church. It explores which side maintained influence over popular sentiment and social justice. Hora observes that high ranks within the Argentine Church often have Italian surnames. Meanwhile, he suggests that the men of the elite remained distant from Catholicism.
