ADROVER ORELLANO, Fernando. Reception, re-readings and debates on catholic social doctrine in the Uruguayan church during Mariano Soler's episcopal government (1891-1908). Soc. relig. [online]. 2018, vol.28, n.50, pp.37-61. ISSN 1853-7081.

This article studies -from 1891 to 1908- the re-readingof the Rerum Novarum proposed by the Uruguayan archbishop Mariano Soler, dialoging with the multiple opinions about social issues of the clergy and laity. First, it analyzes the development of Soler's public discourse through his pastoral letters, and tries to explain his attenuation of the most progressive contents in the papal message, related with the complex dialogues and negotiations with his parishioners. This work attempts to explain how the local catholic organizations were influenced by the new church's social doctrine, paying attention to the catholic press and the Círculos Católicos de Obreros' debates on social issues. The study is based on primary documents of the local ecclesiastical archives, the catholic press and the pastoral letters written by Mariano Soler. The hypothesis that structures this work is that the necessary unity of all the catholic in the context of an intense secularization (openly anticlerical by the end of the studied period) favored the preeminence of conservative catholic thought about social issues and restricted Soler's and a portion of the laity's progressist thought in the local church.
