This article describes and explains the activities of the Catholic Action to organize and implement the second Marian congress in Colombia. This research is part of the study of the colombian catholic church, approached from the sociology of religion, history of religion and religious political history. The methodology chosen is hermeneutic and descriptive. This work allows us to conclude that the catholic fundamentalism in Colombia attempt to cover all areas of daily life of catholics, breaking into them through the virgin Mary, and holding Marian congresses, with whom broke into the unconscious collective society to maintain social order (against liberalism, communism and Protestantism) and deal a new stage in the global political confrontation (The Cold War).

Keywords : Colombia; Catholicism; Virgin Mary; Social Control; Marian Congress; History.
