Needs of the Heart: A Social and Cultural History of Brazil's Clergy and Seminaries - Kellogg Institute Series on Democracy and Development
Kenneth P. Serbin
Traces five centuries of conflict and change in the life of the clergy in Brazil. This book examines how priests participated in the colonization of Brazil, educated the elite and poor in the faith, propped up the socioeconomic status quo, and reinforced the institution of slavery, all the while living in relative freedom from church authority.
