O problema da cultura na Igreja Católica contemporânea

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze in which ways culture became a political and ideological problem for the Catholic Church, in that it is faced with the hard task of projecting its Christian image to all the people of the world. It broaches the way this institution assumes the role of unifyng the cultural diversities and creating imaginary units among all the antinomic tendencies towards the globalization of cultures and the claiming of privative cultural identities.
