No. of bitstreams: 1 2010 - Sergio Prates Lima.pdf: 3168857 bytes, checksum: 3aab9483252128c9499aa634ef69ee25 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-08-19 / This paper analyzes the changes that occurred in the social-political and religious panorama of the Brazil Empire, in the period between 1855-1876, from the activities of the Scottish doctor and missionary, Robert Reid Kalley (1809-1888) in Brazil. The emphasis of this research revolves around the attempt of exercising Protestant religious practice in the Portuguese language and the resistance formed in the political-religious scope against such a right in a Roman Catholic country. The research also focuses on Kalley?s stay and activities in the Island of Madeira (1838-1846), which came to be the stage between Catholic and Protestant ideologies, culminating with the exodus and persecution of thousands of people, Kalley being the main target. Then, the sermons in Portuguese and the medical care that he accomplished in Madeira arrives in Brazil in 1855. This research also reveals specific Kalleyan methodology, how he worked independently of any church or missionary organization, even financially, unlike other missionaries at the time, although exercising the same practices of those. This examination of Protestantism informs and discloses the process that culminated with the acquisition of the civil right to registry (birth, marriage and death) by non-Catholics, citizens who did not practice the Common Religion. This paper also examines, the reaction of Kalley's Protestant speech, and reveals details of the resistance of the Catholic Church to allow freedom of worship along with the attempts to discredit the d Protestant practice and ideology. The survey also covers the discussions brought about by the Protestant mission in the Brazilian society, without forgetting to co-relate the factors going on within the Catholic Church who faced various difficulties, such as discussions about the republic, the abolitionist propaganda, foreign immigration, the patronage and the religious question, among other things, episodes that were essential to understanding the role of Robert Reid Kalley and of other missionaries who came after him. / Este trabalho analisa as mudan?as ocorridas no panorama s?cio-pol?tico-religioso do Brasil Imp?rio, no per?odo entre 1855-1876, a partir das atividades do m?dico e mission?rio escoc?s Robert Reid Kalley (1809-1888), em terras brasileiras. A t?nica da pesquisa gera em torno da tentativa do exerc?cio de pr?ticas religiosas protestantes, em l?ngua portuguesa e da resist?ncia formada no ?mbito pol?tico-religioso contra tal direito, num pa?s Cat?lico Romano. A pesquisa tamb?m enfoca sua perman?ncia e atua??o na Ilha da Madeira (1838-1846), que veio a se tornar cen?rio entre as ideologias cat?lica e protestante, culminando com o ?xodo e a persegui??o de milhares de pessoas, sendo Kalley o principal alvo. Em seguida, os serm?es em Portugu?s e os cuidados m?dicos que ele realizara na Madeira chegam ao Brasil, em 1855. A pesquisa revela especificidades da metodologia kalleyana, pois trabalha de forma independente de qualquer organismo mission?rio ou denominacional, inclusive financeiramente, diferente dos demais mission?rios aqui chegados, embora utilizando a mesma metodologia e pr?ticas daqueles. O exame do protestantismo de miss?o aut?ctone informa e descortina o processo que culminou com a aquisi??o do registro civil (nascimento, casamento e ?bito) pelos acat?licos, cidad?os n?o praticantes da religi?o majorit?ria. ? discutida a rea??o ao seu discurso protestante, revelam-se detalhes da resist?ncia da Igreja Cat?lica ao exerc?cio da liberdade de culto e as tentativas para desacreditar a pr?tica e a ideologia protestantes. A pesquisa abarca ainda as discuss?es trazidas pelo protestantismo de miss?o na sociedade brasileira, sem esquecer-se de co-relacionar os fatores que v?o agindo no seio da Igreja Cat?lica, que enfrentava dificuldades variadas, como as discuss?es sobre a rep?blica, a propaganda abolicionista, a imigra??o estrangeira, o Padroado e a Quest?o Religiosa, dentre outros temas, s?o epis?dios essenciais para compreender a atua??o de Robert Reid Kalley e dos demais mission?rios que chegaram depois dele.
