Alexandre Nascimento: um sacerdote católico angolano na transição do colonialismo português para a independência de AngolaD. Alexandre Nascimento (1925-), Bishop of Malanje (1975), Metropolitan Archbishop of Lubango (1977), Cardinal (1983), Archbishop of Luanda (1986-2001), is analyzed in the double perspective of understanding the dynamics of the relations between the State and the Catholic Church in the colonial period, the transition to independence and the first years of independence, as well as the agency of a personality involved in the transformation of these relations.

Alexandre Nascimento (1925-), bispo de Malanje (1975), arcebispo Metropolitano de Lubango (1977), cardeal (1983), arcebispo de Luanda (1986-2001), é analisado na dupla perspetiva de compreender a dinâmica das relações entre Estado e Igreja Católica no período colonial, transição para a independência e primeiros anos da independência, e a agência da personalidade em causa na transformação destas relações. Testemunha do seu tempo, D. Alexandre Nascimento foi também um agente religioso e social, geralmente discreto, cuja ação, de contornos ainda pouco estudados, é aqui analisada. A sua simpatia pelo nacionalismo angolano, formada no final da década de 1950, nasce da consciência das injustiças sociais do colonialismo português e leva-o a estabelecer contactos com os nacionalistas angolanos e com os oposicionistas católicos portugueses ao Estado Novo, durante o período de exílio na metrópole, entre 1961 e 1971. A sua imagem de crítico do colonialismo português dá-lhe um reconhecimento junto dos nacionalistas angolanos que lhe permite dispor, durante o período de transição para a independência, de uma margem de manobra para estabelecer mediações entre a Igreja Católica e o poder político, entre a hierarquia católica e os padres mais identificados com a vanguarda revolucionária, que outros elementos do episcopado não possuem. Nos primeiros anos da independência afirma-se como defensor da autonomia institucional da Igreja Católica e dos direitos humanos em Angola.Universidade Católica Portuguesa, Centro de Estudos de História Religiosa2023-01-06info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34632/lusitaniasacra.2022.11805https://doi.org/10.34632/lusitaniasacra.2022.11805Lusitania Sacra; No 46 (2022): Cristianismo na contemporaneidade: sociedade, política e cultura; 149-174Lusitania Sacra; n. 46 (2022): Cristianismo na contemporaneidade: sociedade, política e cultura; 149-1742182-88220076-150810.34632/lusitaniasacra.2022.n46reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/lusitaniasacra/article/view/11805https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/lusitaniasacra/article/view/11805/11311Direitos de Autor (c) 2023 João Miguel Almeidahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlmeida, João Miguel2023-02-04T04:56:03Zoai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/11805Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:46:07.524317Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
