O redefinir das fronteiras dos poderes políticos e religiosos após a Independência do Brasil

o Seminário de Mariana-MG como espaço de conflito

Abstract

Between the 1820s and 1830s, the Seminário Nossa Senhora da Boa
Morte, located in the home of the Bishop in Minas Gerais, was seized
as the focus of political, religious and educational disputes. Two main
subjects with great social projection in the province of Minas Gerais
performed as leading figures in such conflicts: the Bishop Dom Frei José
da Santíssima Trindade and the priest, teacher and politician Antonio
José Ribeiro Bhering. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how
the disputes around Mariana Seminar, most importantly the ones concerning
the settling of its regency Statutes, had been bound to the re-adequacy
regarding political and religious authorities’ fields of practice
in the years following the independence of Brazil.
