Abstract

During most of its history, the Brazilian Catholic Church has been closely allied with the dominant classes and the state. Conversely, the Church traditionally has had tenuous linkages with the popular classes, and its practices with these classes generally have been paternalistic and authoritarian. This situation began to change somewhat in the 1950s as the institution made new efforts to reach the popular sectors.
