Description
Summary:As Escrivá de Balaguer -Opus Dei founder- proposed, everyone can reach sanctity through work and daily activities. In Argentina, many people answer to this call by doing social work. By a multi-situated ethnography I try to understand the conceptions and actions that its members offer in regard to poverty. There can be distinguish two different ways of doing this: one focuses on those involve in the activities (found-raising events for socializing or those that try to “educate” youth) and another that attends to the receptors (spaces for “integration” and “moral recovery” of the poor). Also, I consider “poverty” besides its material side, as the idea of “spiritual poverty” is key to understand Opus Dei and its place inside Catholicism.
