This 1974 book provides an institutional and historical analysis of
the Brazilian Church, focusing in particular on its political role
in relation to the state and society. There is a great interest in
the Catholic Church in Latin America, both as an institution and as
a progressive social force. The author pays special attention to
the part played by the Church in the 'Brazilian Revolution' before
1964. By analyzing its internal reactions to changes in the
external political order, he explains why the Church regressed
after 1964 and from this develops an explanation of how change took
place in the Church. The various threads of Professor Bruneau's
analysis are brought together in the final section of the book.
Here, it is shown that conflicts between Church and state are
inevitable, and that they promise to change the whole system of
which the Church has always been an integral part.
