Very little of the catholic social discourse has been studied at the academic level, but the deep influence of the Catholic Church on western culture and its institutions is undeniable. The basis of this research is the hypothesis that the principles of catholic social teaching, when part of a social initiative, offer important input at a personal and community level, with regards to the development of the individuals they impact. This thesis also includes wide-ranging bibliographical research in order to attempt to describe and understand the philosophical and social bases of these principles. A case study is presented involving the Landless Workers Association of São Paulo, a popular housing movement that operates in the northwestern region of the city of São Paulo, which has aided 20,000 families who did not own their own homes and who previously lived in precarious conditions. This research takes a qualitative approach, with on-the-ground analyses of the dynamics of this association undertaken during visits to the areas where it operates, as well as analysis of the responses to semi-structured interviews with the founders and members of the movement about their own life stories and those of the movement itself. Questionnaires were also applied to other members in order to corroborate the elements that emerged from the interviews. It can be observed that the principle of the dignity of the human person, solidarity and subsidiarity are present in the bases of this movement, reflected in the concern the founders have for their members, taking into account all the aspects that constitute individual people and, consequently, their families, from the freedom to build their own homes in the way they desire, to the strengthening of communitarian aspects and the establishment of partnerships with local authorities and with other groups in society. The initiatives taken by the association are solutions whose criteria are the fundamental desires that constitute the human person and the fundamental principles of the Church s Social Doctrine / O objetivo do trabalho é investigar as ligações existentes entre os princípios permanentes da Doutrina Social da Igreja e como eles podem se manifestar concretamente nos dias de hoje, pelo exemplo de uma obra brasileira: Associação dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra de São Paulo. Pouco se estuda, em nível acadêmico, o discurso social católico, mas é inegável a profunda influência que a Igreja Católica tem sobre a cultura ocidental e suas instituições. Partimos da hipótese de que os princípios do ensino social católico, quando presentes em uma ação social, oferecem respostas importantes em nível pessoal e comunitário para o desenvolvimento das pessoas atendidas. É feita uma ampla pesquisa bibliográfica em que se busca descrever e entender as bases filosóficas e sociais desses princípios. É feito um estudo de caso na Associação dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra de São Paulo, movimento de habitação popular que atua na região noroeste da cidade de São Paulo e atende 20 mil famílias que não tinham casa própria e viviam em condições subumanas. Essa pesquisa tem uma abordagem qualitativa, com análises do que pudemos observar de sua dinâmica e das visitas às áreas da associação, além da análise das respostas dos fundadores e associados do movimento a entrevistas semiestruturadas sobre suas histórias de vida e do movimento. Foram aplicados também questionários com outros associados para corroborar ou não elementos que apareciam nas entrevistas. Percebemos que os Princípios de Dignidade Humana, de Solidariedade e de Subsidiariedade estão presentes na origem de atuação desse movimento e na atenção dos fundadores com seus associados, levando em conta todos os aspectos que constituem a pessoa, e consequentemente, sua família, desde a liberdade de construir a casa do modo desejado, até o fortalecimento de aspectos comunitários e o estabelecimento de parcerias com o poder público e com outros grupos da sociedade. As ações tomadas pela associação são respostas dadas tendo como critério os desejos fundamentais que constituem a pessoa humana e os princípios fundamentais da Doutrina Social da Igreja

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The discussion limits in the application of the paradigm of the talent to the religious ambit, pointing out like him is understood in the context of the Catholic Christianity and also which the implications of the practical and theoretical point of view of the talent and of the religious person in the social phenomenon, above all, applied the social doctrine of the Church, present in "Deus caritas est". This work attempts to expose the likeness among the foundation of the Catholic social doctrine, present in "Deus caritas est" and the logic of the talent. He made it considering the Christianity as an economy of the grace and considering this an universality, a radicalism and an assimilation of the logic of the talent. In this sense, it was ended that, in "Deus caritas est", the foundation of the social doctrine of the Church tends to coincide with the logic of the talent and to reinforce it starting from the theological category of the charity. / A discussão se circunscreve à aplicação do paradigma do dom ao âmbito religioso, salientando como ele é entendido no contexto do cristianismo católico e também quais as implicações do ponto de vista prático e teórico do dom e do religioso no fenômeno social, sobretudo aplicado à doutrina social da Igreja, presente em Deus caritas est . Este trabalho intenta explicitar as afinidades entre o fundamento da doutrina social católica, nessa encíclica e a lógica do dom. Fê-lo considerando o cristianismo como uma economia da graça e esta como uma universalização, uma radicalização e uma interiorização da lógica do dom. Neste sentido, concluiu-se que, em Deus caritas est , o fundamento da doutrina social da Igreja tende a coincidir com a lógica do dom e a reforçá-la a partir da categoria teológica da caridade.

The title of this degree work is "Christians and Politics from the View of the New Testamental Texts". The main purpose is to identify various aspects of the view at the political power in the texts of the New Testament, to make a judgement about these texts on the background of its historical and literary context and to look for its common topics. In this thesis we went into details about relatively great number of passages with the goal to attain the global point of view. At the beginning we justified why to look for the inspiration in the life of Jesus Christ. Then we focused on Jesus' political principles. We treated conflicts between John the Baptist and Herod Antipas and conflicts between Jesus and political and religious leaders of his days. We focused mainly on the conflicts connected with the Jewish Law and paying taxes. Then we treated the conflict between Jesus and Pilate, which ended in Jesus' crucifixion. Then we briefly touched on the Paul's point of view and we mentioned several examples of the persecution of the Christians from the pagans. At the end we made an attempt to resume briefly what the New Testament says about the relationship of the Christians to the political power and we joined the short mention about the relationship between the Church and the state in the social doctrine of...

El pensamiento del Obsipo Maura sobre la Cuestión Social y la Democracia Cristiana ha sido fundamental para la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia y,en particular, para la Diócesis de Orihuela-Alicante. Al final del siglo XIX y principios del XX conectó con la ciencia y cultura de la época, asociándola a su educación tomista, en el tiempo que la encíclica Rerum Novarum del Papa León XIII hacía su aparición. Sus pastorales sociales y las dedicadas a la Democracia Cristiana, siendo Obispo de Orihuela, hablan de su sensibilidad social en el arduo problema de la cuestión social y su compromiso en su acción pastoral. / Bishop Maura´s thinking about the social issue the Christian democracy has been essential for the social doctrine of the Catholic church an , particularly, for the diocese of Orihuela. At the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, he connected with the science and culture of that time, and he associated it to his Thomistic education when the encyclical Rerum Novarum from the Pope Leon XIII appeared. HIs socials pastorals and those devoted to the Christian democracy talk about his social perception in the difficult problem of the social issue and his strong commitment in the pastoral action when he was Bishop in Orihuela.

This thesis is concerned with finding a relationship between the principles of Catholic social teaching and the written views of the Freedom and Direct Democracy - Tomio Okamura party as presented on the party's website. At the beginning of the thesis the reader is briefly introduced to individual principles of Catholic social teaching. For the purposes of this thesis five principles have been chosen which are mentioned in the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church. These are the principles of human dignity, the common good, universal destination of goods, subsidiarity, and solidarity. Then the reader is acquainted with the basic views of the Freedom and Direct Democracy - Tomio Okamura party (SPD). By way of indicative research on the particular views of SPD, three topics are then formulated, which are most often mentioned by SPD. These consist of the European Union, foreign policy and migration. Comparison of these most frequently mentioned topics with Catholic social teaching and other relevant resources creates a base for further confrontation between Catholic social teaching principles and the views of SPD. Equally important for this confrontation are also other positions of the SPD party relating to particular social topics and also values of truth, freedom, fairness and love, which...
