Ideology
Nacionalismo supported a "return to tradition, to the past, to sentiments authentically Argentine, ... the reintegration of the nation with these essential values", these essential values included Roman Catholicism, claiming that to the Church "the Nation should be linked as the body to the soul". Nacionalismo opposed secular education, accusing it of being "Masonic laicism", and supported clerical control of education.
Nacionalismo based its twin policy of opposition to liberalism and socialism along with promotion of social justice on the papal encyclicals of 1891 (Rerum Novarum) and 1931 (Quadragesimo Anno). Nacionalismo supported improving relations between the social classes to achieve the Catholic ideal of an organic, "harmonious" society.
