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.

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.
