“CATÓLICO SEM JORNAL É SOLDADO SEM ARMAS”: O PROTESTANTISMO NAS PÁGINAS DO CORREIO RIOGRANDENSE

Abstract

analisado, caracterizando Abstract: This study analyzes the religious conflict, involving Catholics and Protestants, in southern Brazil, published in the newspaper Correio Riograndense, in the 1940s. It is possible to observe, through this case study, the attempt at Catholic supremacy in Brazilian religious life. The analyzed journal, although characterized as a local publication, portrays the hierarchy of religious relations in the first half of the 20th century. It also makes it possible to identify the hegemonic discourse of the Catholic Church in Brazil and Latin America, with its intolerant aspect and the fight against the faithful of other Christian currents.
