Braschi responded to the message of the Second Vatican Council, the 1968 Conference of Latin American Bishops, and the growing charismatic movement by pioneering a new, informal, interpersonal form of mission, modeled on the basic ecclesial community associated with liberation theology. An experimental church - Santa Ana - started in Buenos Aires in 1975 became, in 1978, the Catholic Apostolic Charismatic Church of "Jesus the King." With this move, Braschi publicly distanced himself from the Roman Catholic Church, whose alleged collusion with the Argentine Military Junta was a widely debated aspects of the "Proceso" (Dictatorship) between 1976 and 1983. Parts of the Church also formed the vanguard in the fight against repression, and subsequently endured the persecution, detention, torture and even assassination of their own "dissident" members, such as the late Bishop Enrique Angelelli, bishop of La Rioja, in 1976.
