Under the idea that a deep articulation between religious fundamentalism and misogyny played a significant role in legitimizing gender-based repressive actions, we will approach Mendoza’s catholic intellectuals, as part of a broader conservative bloc, and their action on different fronts during the years prior to the last military dictatorship, and also during it. This analysis will be carried out based on interviews and publications of the time. We start from the idea that the construction of the notion of internal enemy had a gender dimension linked to the key place assigned to women in the conservation of the established order. We understand that their involvement was inscribed in the ideal of preserving the "national being and the Western and Christian bases of the nation" in a context of intergenerational and intergender relation changes. Both the defense of their god -threatened after the Second Vatican Council and the emergence of the Movement of Priests for the Third World- and the protection of nuclear family in which women were placed as its guardians, prompted them to face this "crusade” which had multiple derivations.

Keywords : rights; internal enemy; gender relationships.
