Abstract

Expressive figure of nineteenth century politics and catholicism, Francisco de Azevedo Teixeira de Aguilar, 2 nd Count of Samodaes, attains particular importance in the re-emergence of the catholic movement in Portugal from 1870 to the Republic. In this circumstance, the core of the question here presented aims to examine the count's main lines of thought towards some of the great political and religious questions dominating at that time, in the context of the relations between catholicism and liberalism. Leader of a catholic group, which searched, with success, to separate the political objectives from the religious one, opens an «proper porce» in the political and religious question of the period. By thought and action, Samodaes affirms itself as one of the most significant defenders of the conciliating speech between catholicism and political liberalism.
