Christianity is the most widely professed religion in Argentina, with Roman Catholicism being its largest denomination.

The Movimiento Nacionalista Tacuara was an Argentine far right, orthodox Peronist, and fascist movement. While officially established in 1957, its activities started in 1955, and continued through the 1960s, being integrated in Juan Perón's right-wing "Special Formations". Linked to the more radical sectors of the Peronist movement and directly inspired by Julio Meinvielle's Catholic pronouncements, Tacuara defended nationalist, Catholic, anti-liberal, anti-communist, antisemitic, and anti-democratic ideas, and had as its first model José Antonio Primo de Rivera's fascist Falange Española. In the years 1960–1966, the movement incorporated neo-Nazi elements.

In fact, it was started as a successor of another Spanish language magazine of the Congress, namely Cuadernos. Mundo Nuevo stopped in 1971 after 58 issues.
