Entre a política e a religião: os padres deputados na formação do Estado nacional brasileiro

Abstract

Analysis of the relations established between religion and politics in the Brazilian Empire, to begin from the participation of clerics in the process of construction of the legal bases of the State. It was considered the action of priests deputies in the Legislative Power during the Constitutional General Assembly of 1823 and the 1st Legislature of the Empire (1826-1829), in important disputes and debates that crossed the problematic of the distribution of power between center and periphery, Executive and Legislative, and limits between temporal power and spiritual power. From these questions are presented the social properties of the agents involved, binding regional, partisan, family and religious ties are presented, and how these elements have resulted in different positioning and coping dynamics. Also stand out the consequences of these parliamentary disputes on the effects of frontiers, jurisdictions, mixtures of logics and autonomization, and how these change over the period, also altering the relations between Church and State in their institutionalization processes.
