| description | This article analyzes the production of a concept of Latin America in the ambit of the central government of the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic/Roman concept of Latin America that was disseminated at the end of the nineteenth century closely synthesizes the region’s colonial and later republican experience and deeply involves tensions associated with the rise of unprecedented divisions between politics and religion in the Catholic world at the time, thus expressing a series of expectations that were a product of secularization processes. This article thus centers on the way in which the pontifical discourse appropriated an expression created and disseminated elsewhere and gave it a content that provided a particular reading of the region’s history, as well as a specific horizon of expectations. Its reflection is based on the exploration of widely-disseminated pontifical documents, published between 1816 and 1892, in which the concept of America plays a central role. This exploration is accompanied by a contextualization of the political problems of the Atlantic world over the course of the century. The production of a concept with its own nuances speaks to the dispute over naming regions of the world in the context of an intense geopolitical readjustment and struggles over political and economic dominance, which also had a religious aspect. |

Este artículo analiza la producción de un concepto de América Latina en el ámbito del gobierno central de la Iglesia católica romana. El concepto católico-romano de América Latina que se difunde a finales del siglo XIX sintetiza apretadamente la experiencia colonial y luego republicana de la región, a la vez que está fuertemente atravesado por las tensiones asociadas al surgimiento de fronteras inéditas entre lo político y lo religioso en el mundo católico de la época y en esa medida expresa un conjunto de expectativas producto de los procesos de secularización. Así, estas páginas se centran en la forma en que el discurso pontificio se apropió de una expresión creada y difundida en otros medios, la dotó de contenidos que dan cuenta de una lectura particular de la historia de la región, pero también de un horizonte de expectativas específico en torno a ella. La reflexión parte de la exploración de documentos pontificios oficiales de amplia difusión, publicados entre 1816 y 1892 y dentro de los cuales el concepto América tiene un lugar central. Esta exploración se acompaña de una contextualización de la problemática política que recorre el mundo Atlántico a lo largo del siglo. La producción de un concepto con tintes propios da cuenta de la disputa por nombrar regiones del mundo en un contexto de reacomodo geopolítico intenso, de contiendas por el dominio político y económico que también tienen un rostro religioso.
