The Apostolic Nunciature to the Argentine Republic is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Mexico, with the rank of an embassy. The nuncio serves both as the ambassador of the Holy See to the President of Mexico, and as delegate and point-of-contact between the Catholic hierarchy in Mexico and the Pope.

History

Before 1992 the office was an Apostolic Delegation, without diplomatic status: its head was accredited to the Catholic Church in the country but not to the government. Pope John Paul II established the Nunciature to Mexico on 22 September 1992.[1]
