Abstract: This work analyzes the political options that some influential
Chilean Catholics chose from the late 1930s to the late 1960s. This is a study of the joint

history of how ideas influenced the actions and options of Chilean Catholics, and how they
expressed themselves in the Chilean political scene. In political terms, it is about a

through Social Christianity and the reformist Christian Democratic party, and ends in the
left-wing Movimiento de Acción Popular Unitario or MAPU of
Salvador Allende's Popular Unity coalition.
