History IA: Part A; To what extent was the Catholic Church the cause of the loss of support for, and rise in opposition to, Juan Perón leading to his downfall in 1955?

IA Question: identify two appropriate sources for Part A, preferably one contemporary and one modern-day. Breakdown each to origins, purpose, and limitations and evaluate against values and limitations respectively, in order. Begin with values, follow with limitations. ex:Source B: [biography] Alexander. Robert J. “Juan Domingo Perón: A History.” 1979 Originating from Robert J. Alexander, an established American academic who is knowledgeable owing to his interviews conducted with contemporaries including Perón, the source has authority in conveying narrative and is extremely valuable in assessing the career of Perón. The book’s purpose is biographical. On the one hand, this provides an informed recount of the Peronista political movement and is therefore valuable to historians. On the other, the book’s focus on Juan and Eva Perón’s life limits discussion about the church-state conflict, with no evaluation of significance to Perón’s downfall. The content and style of writing is valuable – Alexander makes the chronology of the regime clearly accessible. However this value is limited since Alexander’s writing is notably left-leaning, with distinctly sympathetic assessments of Perón’s actions. This does not invalidate the information conveyed, however his judgements should be considered alongside other accounts by relevant historians. Clear explanation of the source set out, with an evaluation of the value and limitation of each of the origin, purpose, and limitation. List of common examples given for value and limitations of origins and purpose.
