Abstract
La Escuela Científica Basilio y la Iglesia Católica se enfrentaron abiertamente durante el gobierno peronista (1946-1955). Este conflicto entre espiritismo y catolicismo es un capítulo más de la puja entre los referentes del campo esotérico argentino y los miembros de las Iglesias cristianas. En el debate académico actual sobre el problema de la relación entre esoterismo y política, este estudio de caso introduce precisiones pertinentes para profundizar nuevas investigaciones. The Basilio Science School and the Catholic Church clashed openly during the Peronist government (1946-1955). This conflict between spiritism and catholicism is another chapter of the collision between the referents of the Argentine esoteric field and the members of the Christian Churches. In the current academic debate on the problem of the relationship between esotericism and politics, this case study introduces pertinent details to deepen further research.
