Enrique Angelelli was an Argentine Catholic bishop who served the Diocese of La Rioja during a period of intense political unrest. Born in Córdoba in 1923, he became known for his commitment to the poor and his support for labor unions and rural cooperatives. His advocacy for social justice and the rights of marginalized workers led to significant friction with local authorities and the military junta. This political involvement eventually resulted in his assassination in 1976 during Argentina's Dirty War, an event that later led to his recognition as a martyr.
