The Church where Pope Francis served when young in Cordoba: Compañía de Jesús UNESCO World Heritage
Pope Francis, when he was still known as Jorge Bergoglio and was a priest in Argentina, was stationed in Córdoba, in a Jesuit Church called La Compañía de Jesús (Society of Jesus Church).
Jesuits arrived in Córdoba, Argentina in 1599 and then in 1606 they started building what would eventually become the Jesuit Square (Manzana Jesuita) downtown, and between 1606 and 1646 they built this beautifully constructed church, as well as the University of Cordoba (where now Law School is located) and the Colegio Monserrat, the oldest high school in the State.
In this Church, you can also visit the quarters where Pope Francis used to stay in while working.
An important visit when traveling to Cordoba, Argentina if you are interested in religious tourism.

Jesuit Estancias of Córdoba, Estancia de Jesús María & Jesuítica Santa Catalina, Argentina
Jesuit Estancias of Córdoba, Estancia de Jesús María & Jesuítica Santa Catalina, Argentina
Jesús María is a place that has very old roots and a remarkable cultural richness. At the beginning it was an indigenous town called Guanusacate, dead or bathed water, which over the years was developed with the settlement of the order of the Jesuits. In 1618, the Jesuits acquired for eight thousand pesos, the twenty thousand vines strains, the mill, 250 cows, 25 oxen and 30 pigs from the Chaco de Guanusacate, the name by which the Sanavirones indigenous people designated those lands. In the colonial time it was developed not only as Estancia de la Compañía de Jesús, but also as an obligatory route of the road called Camino Real, a strategic corridor that communicated the Atlantic ports with the mining areas of the Alto Perú at the time of the colony. Since 2000, she was declared Patrimoine of Humanity by UNESCO
The Estancia de Jesús María-Museo Jesuítico offers a journey through the history of the old Jesuit ranch through testimonies that recreate the productive spaces of the time, for example, the places where the grapes were milled to make the wine consumed by the religious and the cellar where it was later stored. Inside the house, in which the Jesuits lived, are treasured religious objects-crucifixes, reliquaries, religious images from the colonial era-and a collection of archeology that is also linked to the Jesuits.
In the old lands of Calabalumba la Vieja, within the present territory of the Province of Córdoba, the Company of Jesus bought the estancia known as Santa Catalina for four thousand and five hundred Pesos. Santa Catalina became the great center of cattle raising with thousands of cow, sheep and mule heads. Besides, items were woven in the loom, and tack was produced, as well as blacksmith and carpentry works. There also were two mills. Over once century after acquiring this estancia in 1754, the Jesuit missionaries finished the church works.
Its imposing façade, lined by two towers and a curved portal, boasts slender lines and ornaments, with curved pediments and pilasters. Inside, the harmony of proportions is fascinating. Only one nave in the shape of a Latin cross ends in the circular dome with windows on the vault. The great altarpiece of the main altar has been carved in wood and gold. A piece of canvas representing the patron saint of the estancia, a dressed image of the Lord of Humbleness and Patience as well as the polychrome carved image of crucified Christ stand out.
After the expulsion of the Jesuits, when Carlos III expelled the Jesuits from the Spanish dominions in 1767, the state was acquired by Don Francisco Antonio Diaz in an initiative promoted by the Board of Temporalities auction. Francisco Antonio Diaz, mayor of first vote of the city of Cordoba in 1774, to buy the commitment to sustain the church and worship. The Spanish Diaz, Colonel of the Royal Army, paid 90,717 pesos and 4 reales ½, and made his purchase proposal in these terms: I Allano to buy all the land, slaves, buildings and cattle under the following conditions: that the church you have to be at my disposal, recognizing it as an employer. I'll take care of the expenses. keeping all decency.
Its second owner, Colonel Jose Javier Diaz, was the first native governor elected by the people of Cordoba in 1815 and 1820. In his role as 2nd head of the regiment of three thousand men of Córdoba, participated in the reconquest of Buenos Aires, it was two time governor of Cordoba, promoter of Congress of Tucuman of 1816 and support of the liberating campaign of General San Martin with 100 Saddled mules and warm clothing produced in the Santa Catalina looms.
Its current owners (40) are organized as a family trust and managed with their own financial resources

2007 Argentina Cordoba, Iglesia La Compania De Jesus, La Plus Ancienne Eglise d' Argentine
La Plus Ancienne Eglise Du Pays, Celle de La Compagnie de Jésus (les Jésuites..AMDG).
WIKIPEDIA
L'église de la Compagnie de Jésus à Córdoba en Argentine a été construite entre 1645 et 1654, et achevée en 1671.
Elle fait partie de la Manzana Jesuítica (cité jésuitique : l'université, la résidence de la Compagnie de Jésus et le collège, avec les cinq « estancias »), classée au Patrimoine de l'Humanité par l'UNESCO en 2000.
Le plan de l'église est en forme de croix latine, avec deux chapelles latérales s'ouvrant sur la nef, dénommées chapelle des Espagnols et chapelle des Indigènes.
L'édifice est remarquable pour sa toiture: la voûte longitudinale de la nef et la coupole sont réalisées entièrement en bois. Ce travail exceptionnel a été réalisé entre 1667 et 1671 sous la direction d'un jésuite originaire de la province flandro-BELGE, le frère Philippe Lemaire (1608-1671), hispanisé en Felipe Lemer. Felipe Lemer a conçu la voûte comme une coque de bateau renversée ; l'ensemble est chevillé. Le procédé est inspiré d'un ouvrage de l'architecte français Philibert Delorme, qui le décrit dans son livre Nouvelles inventions pour bien bastir et à petits frais (1561). Le bois de cèdre utilisé pour ce travail provenait des Réductions, et fut acheminé sur le Paraná jusque Santa Fe, puis par voie terrestre à Córdoba.

The Catholic Church and Argentina's Dirty War
On August 3rd, 1976, in Córdoba, Argentina's second largest city, Fr. James Week and five seminarians from the Missionaries of La Salette were kidnapped. A mob burst into the house they shared, claiming to be police looking for subversive fighters. The seminarians were jailed and tortured for two months before eventually being exiled to the United States.
The perpetrators were part of the Argentine military government that took power under President General Jorge Videla in 1976, ostensibly to fight Communism in the name of Christian Civilization. Videla claimed to lead a Catholic government, yet the government killed and persecuted many Catholics as part of Argentina's infamous Dirty War. Critics claim that the Church did nothing to alleviate the situation, even serving as an accomplice to the dictators. Leaders of the Church have claimed they did not fully know what was going on, and that they tried to help when they could. Gustavo Morello draws on interviews with victims of forced disappearance, documents from the state and the Church, field observation, and participant observation in order to provide a deeper view of the relationship between Catholicism and state terrorism during Argentina's Dirty War.
Morello uses the case of the seminarians to explore the complex relationship between Catholic faith and political violence during the Dirty War-a relationship that has received renewed attention since Argentina's own Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis. Unlike in countries such as Chile and Brazil, Argentina's political violence was seen as an acceptable tool in propagating political involvement; both the guerrillas and the military government were able to gain popular support. Morello examines how the Argentine government deployed a discourse of Catholicism to justify the violence that it imposed on Catholics and how the official Catholic hierarchy in Argentina rationalized their silence in the face of this violence. Most interestingly, Morello investigates how Catholic victims of state violence and their supporters understood their own faith in this complicated context: what it meant to be Catholic under Argentina's dictatorship.
