Resumo: | Founded in 1732 in Scala by Afonso Maria de Liguori, the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (Redemptorists) became one of the most important Catholic missionary congregations to work in Europe in the 19th century, both in the consolidation of ideals ultramontanos, as in the religious action with the faithful Catholics of the peripheries and rural areas. In Germany the Redemptorists experienced until the 1860s an intense moment of missionary activity and parochial care, especially in Bavaria, whereby they became especially known for their rigorous confessionals activities. From the 1860s to the 1870s, however, some transformations in the national and international political context led the Catholicism (especially the ultramontane and with it the Jesuits and Redemptorists) to be linked, especially by some groups linked to Protestant liberalism, to an image of backwardness and superstition, something necessary to be overcome by a newly forged nation that wished to align itself on the paths of progress and modernity in consolidation in Europe. In addition to these imagery constantly reinforced by the liberal press, the Redemptorists and Jesuits were accused of threatening national sovereignty in favor of the papacy and, from the so-called Kulturkampf, were expelled from the German empire in 1873. However, one of the direct consequences of these 21 years of exile imposed on the German Redemptorists was the acceptance by them of the founding of a vice-province in Brazil, specifically in the states of Goiás and São Paulo. There, the same congregation that had once been a sign of backwardness and superstition in Germany, at the beginning of the 20th century became the main promoter of the progress and modernization of Goias, legitimating itself in the Brazilian religious field through the construction of the self-image of Catholicism as a rational, national and modern religion, much in contrast to the ultramontane discourse of the previous century. In view of this discussion and context, this dissertation aims to investigate the Bavarian Redemptorist who migrated as missionaries from Germany to Brazil between 1894 and 1930. Our central objective is to investigate how the experiences of the Redemptorist congregation in Germany in the 19th century conditioned the expectations of the missionaries who belonged to it on the future and progress in Goias in the 20th century, and how such expectations influenced the strategies adopted for Catholic legitimacy in the modernity under construction in Brazil. |

Na Alemanha, os redentoristas experienciaram até a década de 1860 um intenso momento de atividades missionárias e atendimentos paroquiais, especialmente na Baviera, por meio das quais tornaram-se especialmente conhecidos por seu rigorismo nos confessionários. Da década de 1860 ao final dos anos 1870, entretanto, as transformações no contexto político nacional e internacional levaram o catolicismo (especialmente o ultramontano e, com ele os jesuítas e redentoristas) a ser vinculado, especialmente pelos grupos ligados ao liberalismo-protestante, à imagem de atraso e superstição, algo necessário de ser superado por uma nação recém-forjada que desejava alinhar-se nos trilhos do progresso e modernidade em consolidação na Europa. Aliado a este imaginário constantemente reforçado pela imprensa liberal, os redentoristas e jesuítas foram acusados de ameaçar a soberania nacional em favor do papado e, a partir do chamado Kulturkampf, foram expulsos do império alemão em 1873. Todavia, uma das consequências diretas dos 21 anos de exílio imposto aos redentoristas alemães foi a aceitação por eles da fundação de uma vice-província no Brasil, especificamente nos estados de Goiás e São Paulo. Ali, a mesma congregação que outrora fora tida como sinal de atraso e superstição na Alemanha, no início do século 20 se tornou a principal promotora do progresso e modernização de Goiás, legitimando-se no campo religioso brasileiro por meio da construção da autoimagem do catolicismo como uma religião racional, nacional e moderna, em muito contrastada com o discurso ultramontano do século anterior. Em face desta discussão e contexto, a presente tese de doutorado tem por objeto de investigação os missionários redentoristas bávaros que migraram em missão da Alemanha para o Brasil entre 1894 e 1930. Nosso objetivo central é investigar de que modo as experiências da congregação redentorista na Alemanha no século 19 condicionaram as expectativas dos missionários a ela pertencentes sobre o futuro e o progresso em Goiás no século 20, e como tais expectativas influenciaram nas estratégias adotadas para a legitimação católica na modernidade em construção no Brasil.Editora PUC Minas2018-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTítulosapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/article/view/P.2175-5841.2018v16n50p944HORIZONTE - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religião; v. 16, n. 50, maio/ago. 2018 - Dossiê - Conferência de Medellín: 50 anos; 944-948HORIZONTE - Journal of Studies in Theology and Religious Sciences; v. 16, n. 50, maio/ago. 2018 - Dossiê - Conferência de Medellín: 50 anos; 944-9482175-5841reponame:Horizonte - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religiãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)instacron:PUC_MINSporhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/article/view/P.2175-5841.2018v16n50p944/13577Copyright (c) 2018 HORIZONTE - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religiãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGomes Filho, Robson Rodrigues2020-12-23T09:50:30Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/18311Revistahttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonteONGhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/horizonte/oaihorizonte.pucminas@gmail.com2175-58411679-9615opendoar:2020-12-23T09:50:30Horizonte - Revista de Estudos de Teologia e Ciências da Religião - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)false |
