Title in Portuguese
Reflexões sobre economia e religião: seus principais pensadores e a igreja católica brasileira.

Abstract in Portuguese
O presente trabalho inicia com a elaboração de uma ampla revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema economia e religião, inclusive analisando trabalhos empíricos recentes que pretendem testar as idéias de Weber, como a da secularização e a da relação entre o desenvolvimento capitalista e o Protestantismo. Essa revisão constatou que a tese de Weber tem se mostrado consistente, apesar de algumas falhas, ou seja, a religiosidade diminui à medida que a sociedade evolui e o protestantismo teve um papel importante, sim, no desenvolvimento do capitalismo moderno. Após essa ampla revisão bibliográfica, que serviu para amadurecer o conhecimento sobre o assunto em questão, este trabalho passa a enfocar seu objetivo principal, que é analisar o comportamento da Igreja católica brasileira, como instituição, frente a questões seculares, principalmente de cunho econômico, político e cultural. Para isso, são analisados o comportamento da Igreja católica frente ao processo de transição do Império para a República, o impacto do aumento da concorrência direta e indireta sobre a Igreja católica brasileira, ao longo do século XX, a situação do sacerdócio católico e seu impacto sobre a Igreja católica, assim como o impacto de questões financeiras sobre essa instituição. No geral, toda essa análise apresenta fortes indícios de que questões seculares de cunho econômico, político e cultural acabam influenciando amplamente essa instituição. Com isso, pode-se observar que não apenas questões doutrinárias influenciam essa instituição. Por último, analisa-se a situação atual da Igreja católica e apresentam-se possíveis motivos de a Igreja católica brasileira ter perdido expressiva quantidade de fiéis, ao longo dos últimos vinte anos.

Abstract in English
The present work begins with a broad bibliography review about economy and religion, analyzing recent empirical works that intend to test Weber’s ideas, like the secularization and the relation between capitalistic development and the protestantism. This review evidenced that Weber’s thesis has been shown consistent, although it has some shortcomings. The consistency refers to the fact that religiosity diminishes as the society develop, and to the fact that the protestantism played an important role in the development of the modern capitalism. After this broad bibliography review, that served to mature the knowledge about the subject in discussion, this work starts to focus his main objective, that consists in analyzing the behavior of the brazilian catholic church, as an institution, vis a vis secular matters (economical, political and cultural mainly). To achieve this objective, it was analyzed the behavior of the catholic church in the process of transition from the Empire to the Republic. It was also analyzed the impact of the increase of the direct and indirect competition that the brazilian catholic church faced in the XX century, and it was analyzed the situation of the catholic priesthood and the impact of it in the catholic church, as well as the impact of financial matters in the same institution. Through the analysis of all these points, it could be observed that not only doctrine matters influences this institution. Lastly, it was analyzed the actual situation of the brazilian catholic church and exposed the likely reasons that may be driving this institution to lose an expressively sum of followers in the last twenty years.
