Abstract
In this article, our goal is to construct a mapping of Dom Helder Câmara's intellectual production between 1964 and 1970, a period marked by both the early years of his administration at the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Olinda and Recife and the civil-military dictatorship. At this time, which preceded the creation of Liberation Theology, the religious leader in question defended development projects based on a perspective guided by the Church's social doctrine. With this approach, we will enable a discussion of his moments of greatest activity, themes, interlocutors, target audience, and the difficulties imposed on the archbishop by the Catholic Church and the government during the first years of the dictatorship in the country. For the development of this work, we analyzed the speeches presented by Dom Helder in lectures and some works published by him throughout the 1960s.
