Abstract
The article intends to analyze the way Tucumán’s Catholic Action (ACT) has disputed the public moral when Perón began his first term in Argentina government in 1946. It sustains that, facing the imperative of social morality, the catholic sectors influenced state agencies and defied police authority. Towards the end of peronists years, sensitive transformations were operated in the senses of moralization that the laity was trying to impart as well as in the ways of doing it. Finally the text points the changes that converted the catholic moral discourse in a political challenge against the government.
