The goal of this article is to analyze the so called consensus of the Argentinean Episcopate about the military coup which has happened in Argentina in March 24, 1976 and which was called El Proceso (Proceso de Reconstrución Nacional). For that goal I have used as primary sources the bimonthly newsletter published by the Argentinean Catholic Informative Agency (AICA), particularly the numbers edited between late 1975 and early 1976. I have researched this newsletter trying to understand how the dynamics between the Catholic Church and the military were built in the pages of that publication, especially on how the Episcopate analyzed that political juncture and its relations with the military.
