Abstract

From 1972 to 1978, Catholic weekly newspaper O São Paulo was subjected to prior censorship. With its private archive of material vetoed by the military dictatorship (1964-1985) now available online, it has been possible to analyze the perspective of Catholicism linked to Liberation Theology in a new light. Based on contributions from the Mannheimian sociology of knowledge and a socio-historical analysis of documents, the aim was to study the political concepts of Libertarian Catholicism in the censured pages, in order to determine its style of thought. A link was perceived between the Catholic media and a strand of liberal thought limited by the vision of the religious world.
