Descrição
Resumo:This article aims to analyze the inauguration of the monument Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, at that time the federal capital of the Brazilian Republic. Using two covers of the Brazilian newspaper, O Globo, the present article seeks to reveal an understanding of the discursive manifestation of the Catholic Church during the inauguration, as a response to the effects of the secularism implemented in the early republican era. Based on that, we use authors of historiography for bibliographic research and the discourse analysis as way to obtain the results. The research showed that the monument Christ the Redeemer represented an attempt by the Catholic Church to break some precepts of the legislation that made Brazil a secular country, highlighting the relationship between the catholic faith and the Brazilian State policy in the first half of the 20th Century.
