This Wikipedia article records that Article 2 of the Argentine constitution states that the federal government supports the Roman Catholic Apostolic faith, that Argentine courts have held this falls short of making Catholicism an official state religion, and that the government in practice provides the Catholic Church with subsidies and institutional benefits, including school subsidies and preferential broadcast licensing, that are not available to other religious groups. It also records that religious organizations register with the Secretariat of Worship to obtain tax exempt status and related benefits.

Assessment
Reliability Tier3
A crowd sourced encyclopedia article used here for a constitutional funding provision (Article 2's support clause and its associated subsidies), a straightforward legal fact independently corroborated by the Argentine constitution's own published text, hence the lowest tier rather than exclusion.
