Integrating the research field of Politics and Culture, this thesis considers Religion as a symbolic power and as a phenomenon that permeates the politics and culture of a nation, establishes values, intervenes in the elaboration of juridical norms, determines and gives new meanings to customs and traditions. By means of an extensive documentation, this thesis states that the Catholic Church in Brazil has remained associated with the State and interfered in the country s political and cultural life until the 1970s. In this period and afterwards the attitude of the Church was to combat socialism and the leftists. Nevertheless, the Liberation Theology developed taking Marxist concepts and Political Sciences as its basis. The rupture of relations between the Church and the State in the 1970 together with the development of the Liberation Theology are analyzed in accordance with Antonio Gramsci s ideas, considering the Church as a civil society. In the 1990s, the disruption of the hegemony of Catholic Church towards the State propitiated the organization of popular and pastoral movements that tried to establish a new political order and a new hegemony for the Catholic Church in Brazil.
