The catholic newspaper De Pie. Church, education and peronism during the Revolucion Libertadora

The Catholic press can be questioned in various ways: as a cultural product, political actor or historical source. The objective in this article is to demostrate the political positioning of a Catholic newspaper in the city of Comodoro Rivadavia called "De Pie" through the educational theme, although not exclusively, in the context of the overthrow of Peronism and the international framework of the "Cold War", where anti-communism articulated with anti-Peronism. It will be explained why, for the newspaper, education becomes essential for the defense of democracy, in condemnation of what had been the "dictatorship" and as a barrier against the intrusion of totalitarianism, at the same time as the "freedom of education" that puts an end to the state monopoly and allow greater projection of Catholic educational institutions.
