This 1997 study explores one of the most dramatic current
interactions between religion and politics: the development of
progressive Catholicism in Latin America. In particular, it
examines economic, social and religious obstacles to progressive
theology in Brazil. This 'popular' church built a utopian vision of
social emancipation, drawing on Catholic social thought, humanistic
Marxism and existentialism. It was a major democratizing force as
Brazil emerged from dictatorship in the late 1970s. In the 1980s,
however, the popular appeal of progressive Catholicism came under
threat. Focusing on a Catholic community near Rio de Janeiro,
Manuel A. Vasquez's incisive study shows how economic and political
changes have affected religious practices, and argues that the
plight of progressive Catholicism in Brazil forms part of a wider
crisis of modernity and of humanist discourses.
