Default Argentine Jew may be barred from office by Christian oath
An Argentine Jew Runs for Office -- and Smack Into a Christian Proviso

Quote:
Article 80 [of the provincial constitution enacted under Gen. Antonio Bussi, a right-wing politician and key figure in Argentina's "dirty war" against government opponents in the 1970s and '80s] says the governor must swear fealty to "God, the Fatherland and the Christian saints." Msgr. Luis Villalba, Tucuman's Roman Catholic archbishop, launched the controversy just before Christmas when he said the constitutional provision means that the governor must be Catholic.
