Abstract
This paper studies the particular form of relations between the laicity State and the Catholic Church during the early years (1979-1981) of the “Sandinista revolution” in Nicaragua. We review the concept of laicity and its relationship with secularization in texts from prominent authors selected. After, we use these concepts to analyze how the Nicaraguan government and the Catholic Church understood, antagonistically, relations between religion and politics. Finally we analyze religious reactions to the State “laique”, rehearsing a conceptual proposal of laicity that allows thinking the political practice of religious inspiration. We support our analysis of the case of Nicaragua in official documents on speeches and practices of political and religious actors and, too in bibliographic information about intervention of Ronald Reagan government in Central America in general and particularly in Nicaragua.
