Resumen

Despite the complex challenges of the 19th century, various secularist measures, and the impact of global integration, Catholicism remained the majority religion in Latin America in the following century. This was evidenced by the Church's active presence in the social and political spheres, underscored by the fact that patronage and other diverse ties with the state were maintained in most countries of the region. Catholicism and its Church renewed their influence among rural and urban popular sectors, as well as among political parties and leaders, to name a few examples.
