Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar a atuação de diferentes agentes da Igreja Católica para reverter a situação de desprestígio que o Governo Provisório tentou lhe impor, ao instaurar o Estado laico no Brasil. São analisado o jornal O Apóstolo, órgão da imprensa católica, documentos oficiais, como a Pastoral coletiva do episcopado de 1890 e as reclamações dirigidas pelos bispos às autoridades republicanas, e a atuação destacada de deputados e senadores defendendo no congresso constituinte de 1890-1891 os interesses da Igreja Católica. Desta forma, procuraremos demonstrar que a atuação integrada dos diversos agentes interferiu nos planos de laicização do governo, tornando as leis daquele período menos prejudiciais à Igreja do que inicialmente se projetara, o que levou à uma acomodação de interesses entre esta e governo. / The main goal of this research is to analyze the performance of different agents of the Catholic Church, to revert the situation of discredit that the Provisional Government tried to impose, in order to establish the Laic State in Brazil. These performances are analyzed through the newspaper O Apóstolo, linked to the Catholic Press, official documents, such as Pastoral Coletiva do Episcopado from 1890 and the complains made by the bishops to the republicans authorities, in addition to the highlighted performance of congressmen and senators that defended the interests of Catholic Church in the constituent congress from 1890 to 1891. Thus, we intend to demonstrate that the integrated performance of the several Catholic agents interfered on the plans of laicization from the government, making the laws of that period more comfortable for the Church than initially projected.

O estudo investiga a matriz protestante norte-americana que servia de inspiração tanto para as críticas às relações entre Igreja Católica e Estado no Brasil quanto para a defesa de uma ideia de progresso e civilização para o país na segunda metade do século XIX. Pretende-se ainda compreender a crítica à formação católica brasileira esboçada pelo jornal e sua relação com o projeto de modernização do Brasil proposto pela “geração de 1870”. / This paper analyzes the proposals of the secularization of the Brazilian society made by José Carlos Rodrigues, editor of the periodical O Novo Mundo – Periódico Ilustrado do Progresso da Idade, between 1870 and 1879. The study investigates the North American Protestant matrix that served as inspiration for the criticisms of the relations between the Catholic Church and the State in Brazil, as well as the defense of an idea of progress and civilization for the country in the second half of the nineteenth century. It is also intended to understand the criticism of the Brazilian Catholic formation outlined by the newspaper and its relation to the project of modernization of Brazil proposed by the “generation of 1870”.

À partir des études récentes démontrant l’importance des élites catholiques dans la foulée des changements et de la modernisation de la société québécoise entre les années 1930 et 1970, nous tentons de mieux comprendre ces élites, leurs motifs et leur destin. Issues des jeunes générations de laïcs contestataires des années 1930 et 1940, nous montrons d’abord que les élites catholiques laïques ont été influencées par des courants philosophiques de renouveau chrétien et par leur formation dans l’Action catholique spécialisée. En contestant le cléricalisme et le conservatisme présents au Québec entre 1930 et 1960, elles ont développé une pensée réformiste se situant dans l’esprit du concile Vatican II et de la Révolution tranquille. Un trait caractérise ces élites: même en étant critiques envers l’Église catholique, elles sont tout de même demeurées loyales envers le catholicisme. Nous proposons de nous réapproprier la sociologie de Max Weber afin de mieux comprendre l’implication des élites catholiques laïques à la modernisation de la société québécoise et, par là, de saisir le type particulier de sécularisation qu’a connu le Québec des années 1950 à 1970. Pour ce faire, nous retenons les parcours de vie et le discours de trois représentants de ces élites: Guy Rocher, Jacques Grand’Maison et Claude Ryan. À partir de ces acteurs, nous délinéons trois « voies » distinctes empruntées par les élites catholiques laïques pour s’engager dans la société. Ces trois « voies » relatent certes des types d’engagement différents, mais elles renvoient aussi à un ancrage catholique commun. En considérant le point de vue de ces élites face aux transformations du paysage religieux au Québec, nous examinons enfin l’utilisation du concept de sécularisation par rapport à la laïcisation et la déconfessionnalisation ainsi que les enjeux actuels liés à la religion. / Based on recent studies acknowledging the importance of Catholic elites in the changes leading to the modernization of Quebec society between 1930 and 1970, this master thesis try to provide a better understanding of these elites, their motives and their destiny. Stemming from the young generations of lay protesters of the 1930’s and 1940’s, the lay Catholic elites were influenced by philosophical tendencies within the Christian renewal and their formation in the “Action catholique”. Questioning the clericalism and the social and political conservatism prevalent in Quebec between 1930 and 1960, they put forward a reformist thought tuned with the “spirit” of the Vatican II council and of the Quiet Revolution. One characteristic of these elite: even if they were critical of the Catholic Church, they retained a loyalty towards the Catholicism. I propose to “reappropriate” the sociology of Max Weber in order to better understand the involvement of lay Catholic elites to the modernization of Quebec society and, thus, grasp the particular kind of secularization that take place between 1950 and 1970 in Quebec. In order to do so, I study the life trajectories and discourses of three actors from these elites: Guy Rocher, Jacques Grand’Maison and Claude Ryan. With these actors in mind, I describe three distinct “ways” taken by the lay Catholic elites to get involved in their society. Those three “ways” certainly relate three different types of involvement, but they also refer to a common Catholic feeling of belonging. Considering the point of view of these elites together with the transformations of Quebec’s religious landscape, I can question the use of the concepts of secularization, laicization, and deconfessionalization and, thus, describe the way religious issues are dealt with.
