This dissertation is concerned with rhetorical analysis of religious discourse, specifically the discourse produced by Catholic “Brazil Charismatic Renewal”. For that, a piece of preaching and a homily by orator Father Fabio de Melo delivered respectively in December 2001 and December 2017, at the Cancão Nova Community, in Cachoeira Paulista, a town in the Paraiba Vale, countryside of São Paulo State. The said community has strong links to Brazil Charismatic Renewal. That priest’s discourse was chosen for this dissertation due to his media notoriety, with followers in social networks and sales of discs that reach the thousands. The justification for the chronological selection of two speeches, the first shortly after the priest’s ordination and the second a very recent homily was to observe, through discourse analysis, possible rhetorical similarities or differences after sixteen years of priesthood and pulpit experience. The research general objective is to understand how discourse construction within the Charismatic Renewal Movement takes place. To make it possible, it was necessary to identify the construction of discourses, the orator's preference for rhetorical loci, rhetorical figures and Aristotelian passions presented in the dispositio. Such rhetorical elements enhance the rhetorical proofs (ethos, pathos, logos) predominant in the persuasive process. First it was sought, in order to contextualize, support by authors dealing with religious discourse, followed by the elaboration of a brief historical overview with characteristics of the Charismatic Movement. Theorists of Old and New Rhetoric, essentially Aristotle (384 - 322 BC, 2012), Perelman & Tyteca (2014) and Meyer (2007) provided subsidies for discourse analysis. The information thus collected fulfilled the initial purpose of the research and revealed that the oratory genre chosen by Father Fabio was predominantly deliberative, that is, to place the audience in the assembly position and advise them to adhere to the convenient and useful. Persuasion focused on positive scrutiny of ethos and careful pathos control; the loci preferred by the priest were the condition, quality and value of the person; the most remarkable arguments were model, example and illustration. The most important Aristotelian passions were courage, trust, shame, anger, love and emulation. Finally, it should be noted that both speeches had a somewhat jocular character, revealed by the humorous tone that orator sometimes used
