ARRANJOS COMUNITÁRIOS ALTERNATIVOS CATÓLICOS NA REGIÃO DO GRANDE ABC: ANÁLISE SOCIOLÓGICA DE UM TIPO DE CATOLICISMO NA MODERNIDADE CONTEMPORÂNEA

Esta tese analisa quatro comunidades leigas católicas na região do Grande ABC e que denominamos Arranjos Comunitários Alternativos Católicos. São comunidades extra paroquiais constituídas a partir de um fundador e organizadas autonomamente no que diz respeito a um sistema moral, cúltico, símbólico e de networks. Sintonizadas com a modernidade contemporânea e sob a fiscalização do clero local, os arranjos católicos caracterizam-se por uma vida regrada, hierarquizada, voltada ao atendimento de um público-alvo específico recompondo, adaptando, combinando a doutrina religiosa católica com práticas de glossolalia, de cura e libertação da alma. Analisamos por meio de uma pesquisa etnográfica as estruturas organizacionais dos arranjos, os antecedentes sócio-religiosos dos seus membros e sua capacidade de adaptação frente ao entorno social. Constatou-se que os arranjos católicos são espaços que permitem às suas lideranças exercerem com maior autonomia sua catolicidade de caráter mais intimista e espiritualizada. Entendemos que os arranjos católicos são um tipo de catolicismo de consultoria auxiliando os seus clientes na chamada cura interior , ao mesmo tempo que, dispositivos ou braços auxiliadores da ICAR, a fim de mantê-la estrategicamente na modernidade contemporânea. Os elementos que dão coesão e força simbólica às comunidades em questão são analisadas com categorias durkheimianas e bourdianas. Tais elementos, como os sites, emblemas e os santos baluartes, tornaram-se importantes referenciais que direcionam o cotidiano dos arranjos católicos.

How Teresa and Maria Margaretha migrated to Nordstrand: Translation of Relics and Transformation of a German Island into a Catholic Dutch enclave in the 17th century

When on 26 May 1662 the founding first stone was laid for a new church on the island Nordstrand at the coast of Schleswig, relics of Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) and of the Dutch Carmelite abbess Maria Margaretha ab Angelis (1605-1658) were inserted. This church was built for Dutch dyke builders who were called to reconstruct the island after its destruction by flood in 1634; coming from a Catholic background and from the Dutch Republic which was at war with Spain at that time, the dyke builders and their families were guaranteed religious freedom in the Lutheran duchy of Holstein. In this paper, the reasons for the choice for the Spanish mystic Teresa of Avila and for the Dutch Carmelite abbess Maria Margaretha are discussed. The latter patroness was never beatified but had died in the smell of holiness; after her death several miracles were ascribed to her. It is understandable that migrants brought relics of their appreciated holy persons who would remind them of their homeland. The paper will first shortly introduce the two patronesses of the church. In the second part, the reasons for this choice will be discussed. Behind this translation of relics not only spiritual reasons played a role. The function of the translation of the saints was first to keep up geographical and political connections with the old country (both Spain and the Netherlands), secondly to perpetuate personal-familial relationships (esp. with Maria Margaretha), thirdly to strengthen the confessional identity in a non-Catholic environment. Fourthly the transfer brought a certain model of Christian life and reform to the new place of living, which in the second part of the 17th century became marked as “Jansenist”. The paper shows the transformation of the island into an enclave of Dutch Catholic culture.
