Description
Summary:This article focuses the link that federal judges in Argentina have with Catholicism.To that end, based upon biographical sociology, ways of religious socialization, link with the institution, and modes of legitimatization are reconstructed herein.Thus, the authors aim at contributing to two discussions. On one hand, the discussion about contemporary socio-religious transformations and, on the other, the discussion about the features that characterize the state elites in such regard.That allows us to know, to some extent, both the features of a collective that is strategically positioned in the local level and the manifestation of certain global trends.
