Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / A pesquisa tentará compreender as conturbadas e contraditórias relações entre a Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana no Brasil Colônia, oficialmente sob o domínio do Estado português sob o regime de Padroado régio, mas oferecendo-lhe resistência através das Ordens leias ao papa, vinculadas à Propaganda Fide. O que levou o Brasil Colônia a ter sob seu território duas Igrejas, uma sob o comando do rei, outra que respondia ao papa, será a problemática enfrentada no presente estudo. Levando-se em consideração que relações conflituosas e contraditórias, bem como alianças e convergências são uma constante na história da Igreja de Roma, procuraremos nossa compreensão não apenas na análise da época da vigência do Padroado português no Brasil Colônia, mas tentaremos encontrar as respostas em períodos históricos anteriores, como a Antiguidade Tardia e a Idade Média, onde as relações entre Igreja e Estado também alternaram momentos de tensão, convergências e conflitos, e as formulações ideológicas que deram à Igreja sua mentalidade perante o Estado tiveram sua origem e desenvolvimento, muito antes da Conquista da América. Não objetivamos aqui reescrever a história eclesiástica, porém alguns recortes históricos serão utilizados aqui para nos ajudar a esclarecer as questões propostas. Partiremos do pressuposto de que os conflitos verificados não são apenas disputas de poder entre Roma e Lisboa, mas abrigam mentalidades cristalizadas em ideologias, que deram origem a estruturas mentais que não foram abandonadas pela totalidade da Igreja, e sobreviveram sob uma perspectiva de muito longa duração. Como se formaram tais mentalidades e estruturas e como chegaram até o Brasil colônia, quais foram estas mentalidades e estruturas e como elas se enquadram na longa duração será objeto de análise neste estudo. Tais mentalidades e estruturas tiveram origem na Antiguidade Tardia, antes da Igreja se aliar ao poder estatal, e tiveram, com as devidas transformações, continuidade e desenvolvimento na Idade Média, até chegarem ao Brasil, colônia de Portugal. / This research will try to comprehend the troubled and contradictory relations in the Apostolic Roman Catholic Church in colonial Brazil, officially under the domain of the Portuguese state under the regime of Régios Patronage, but offering resistance through the Loyal Orders of the pope, tied to the Propaganda Fide. The problem that will be confronted in this study is what led Colonial Brazil to have in its territory two churches, one under the command of the king, and the other that responded to the pope. Considering that conflicting and contradictory relations, as well as alliances and convergences are constant in the Roman Churchs history, we will seek our comprehension not only in analyzing the period during the Portuguese Patronage in Colonial Brazil, but we will try to find answers in historic periods previous to this one, like in the Late Antiquity and in the Middle Age, where the relations between the Church and the State also exchanged periods of tension, convergences and conflicts, and the ideological formulations that gave the Church its mentality before the State had its origin and development, way before the Conquest of America. We do not have the objective of rewriting the ecclesiastic history, although some historical clippings will be used here to help us clarify the proposed questions. We will start from the understanding that the verified conflicts arent only power disputes between Rome and Lisbon, but accommodate mentalities crystalized in ideologies, which originated mental structures that were not totally abandoned by the whole Church, and survived under a very long term perspective. So, the object of analysis in this study is how these mentalities and structures were formed and how they got to Colonial Brazil, what were the mentalities and structures and how they can be framed in the long term. These mentalities and structures had their origin in Late Antiquity, before the Church allied itself to the States power, and had, with the due transformations, continuity and development in the Middle Age, until it got to Brazil, Portugals Colony.

The thesis is a study of the political relevance of the views of Karl Barth on Church and State as they relate to the apartheid State in South Africa. In other words, the thesis deals with the part that should be played by the Church in opposing the demonic power of apartheid. Barth's allembracing theology could be used as a catalyst to expose the evil of apartheid and the way in which this evil could be eradicated, in preparation for a democratic order. In Chapter 1, the investigator argues in favour of the use of a methodology which takes praxis as its focus. This suggests that praxis develops theory and the latter informs praxis. Praxis and theory affect each other, thus creating a circular movement wherein both theory and praxis are both individually necessary (or the development of the other). In Chapter 2, the investigator again describes Barth's early theology. A predominant characteristic of Barth's early theology is its concern about the Word of God as incarnated in Jesus Christ, and the attempt to focus its attention on the plight of workers in the employ of the capitalistic system. As the thesis develops in chapter 3, the researcher further shows Barth's contributions to the struggle between the Church and National Socialism and between the Church and communism, more especially in the countries falling within the communistic bloc. In Chapter 4, the investigator focuses strongly on the struggle of the Church against the tenets of apartheid ideology, using Barth's theology as a mediating voice. At the end of the thesis in chapter 5, the investigator deems it necessary to make suggestions and recommendations to round off the argument begun in the first chapter. The suggestions and recommendations are subjected to what obtains in Barth's theological ethics on the relations between the Church and State. By so doing, the investigator suggests ways and means by which South Africans can successfully work out a constitution which will enable all people in South Africa to prepare themselves for a new dispensation. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / D.

A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com o intuito de compreender um pouco da inserção dos evangélicos nas instituições políticas brasileiras, em uma tentativa de articular tal fenômeno com o debate sobre a representação partidária. Por que um \"Partido Evangélico\" não foi formado, embora tal grupo eleja uma quantidade expressiva de representantes em grande parte das eleições desde a última Constituinte? O trabalho empírico consistiu no teste da hipótese de inexistência de uma identidade entre os evangélicos que justificasse o fato de um partido político não ter sido criado. Através de um conjunto de dados sobre os eleitores e outro sobre os deputados estaduais de todo o país, não foi observada a presença de posicionamentos distintos, de uma identidade política que tornasse, tanto os eleitores quanto os deputados evangélicos singulares, diferenciados dos demais grupos. Também foi constatada a fragilidade do modelo de formação de partidos a partir de identidades políticas no caso brasileiro, caracterizado pela alta fragmentação partidária e por uma falta de distinção na maioria dos partidos. / This research was developed with the purpose of understanding the insertion of the evangelicals in the Brazilian political institutions, an attempt to articulate such phenomena with the debate on the partisan representation. It\'s puzzling that an \"Evangelical Party\" was not formed even after the expressive amount of elected representatives this group has had since the last Constituent Assembly. Why is it so? The empirical work consisted in testing the hypothesis that there is no common identity among the various evangelical groups that would justify the existence of a political party. Through a data set of the voters and another one of the representatives of the whole country, the presence of distinct positions was not observed. There isn\'t a political identity that would turn the evangelical voters and representatives distinguished from the others groups. This work also evidenced the fragility of the political parties\' formation model based on identities. In the Brazilian case, this is characterized by a high partisan fragmentation and a lack of distinction between most of the many political parties.
