Antijesuitism in Montevideo at the beginning of the 20^th century: Brochures published by the Association of Liberal Propaganda (1900-1905)

In the early 20^th century a new push of secularization took place in Uruguay. The Jesuits represented a real support for the Church and a worthy adversary for anticlerical centers. The Association of Liberal Propaganda gained prominence as a promotional center dedicated to the publication of brochures. The series that appeared between 1900 and 1905 included an anti-Jesuit campaign that put the accent on three stereotypes: Machiavellianism, commercialism and despotism.
