Anel de tucum: a missão evangelizadora de Pedro Casaldáliga, bispo da prelazia de São Félix do Araguaia

Abstract

In this research, I pretend to analyze the evangelizing mission of Pedro Casaldáliga, Bishop of the Prelacy of São Félix do Araguaia, based on the apostolic exhortation of Pope Paul VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi. This document is a theological proposal for evangelization in the contemporary world. The intention is to analyze attitudes and positions of Casaldáliga in the Prelacy and in Latin America, highlighting their evangelization character in light of the papal document. Divided in three chapters, in the first chapter brings out the pre-historic and the history of the Prelacy, divided into five periods. In the second, a summary of Paul VI exhortation is presentation with additional commentaries. The theoretic reference of this thesis, Evangelii Nuntiandi, in third chapter, will be the basis for the analysis of Casaldáliga in the Prelacy and in Latin America. Thus there is dialectic, detailing what justifies or not the evangelizing mission of Casaldáliga. In the conclusion is discussed, based on history, the liberating utopia of the prophet, pastor and saint, Casaldáliga, within the reality of a church that has changed substantially making evangelization more complex.
