Item type:Publication, Les oxymores religieux latino-américains. Étude sur l’enchantement et les processus de sécularisation au Pérou(SAGE Publishing, 2020-09-01)Le champ religieux péruvien (catholique et évangélique) se caractérise par la ferveur, la créativité et le dynamisme. Les spécialistes le considèrent comme spécifique d’une cosmovision enchantée. Cependant, certains d’entre eux, en particulier Casanova et aussi la hiérarchie catholique, notent des signes d’essoufflement et de transformation qu’ils considèrent comme un processus de sécularisation. Cet article se propose d’interpréter ces signes en contexte et de montrer comment ils révèlent un changement dans la relation fidèles-institutions religieuses. Celles-ci gardent leur présence et leur prestige et jouissent d’un pouvoir redéfini dans un environnement social et politique fragilisé, en mutation, mais elles ne structurent plus les rythmes vitaux individuels et les normes communautaires. Entre ferveur très souvent hors institution et brouillage de sphères, un processus de sécularisation est donc peu adéquat pour rendre compte des transformations religieuses en cours. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Catholic Church in fragile democracies: An influencer, a moral guide, or a judge? A case study from the Peruvian Catholic Church(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-03-01)This paper navigates the complex roles that the Catholic Church assumes in fragile democracies, exploring whether it functions as an influencer, a moral guide, or a judge in shaping public policies and societal values using the Peruvian context as a focal reference. The authors begin by providing an overview of the global religious landscape, highlighting the diverse and polarized trends within the ecclesial institution. In the second part of this paper, this study delves into the homilies of two influential Peruvian prelates, Mgr. Cipriani and Mgr. Castillo, representing opposing theological currents within the Catholic Church, offering a pertinent exploration of how religious institutions engage with evolving international and local trends in the context of democracy. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Iglesias y el estallido social peruano (2022–2023)(Arturo Prat University, 2024-06-05)Este artículo se propone discutir el involucramiento de las iglesias cristianas en el estallido social peruano (final de 2022 hasta 2023). Para compensar la pérdida de credibilidad del campo político fragmentado y polarizado, los políticos buscan legitimidad en lo religioso. En el campo religioso católico y evangélico también impera, pero por otros motivos, la fragmentación y la polarización, lo cual debilita la capacidad de acción. Sin embargo, las corrientes de (extrema) derecha logran ocupar un lugar preeminente en ambos campos por su cohesión, su populismo, su alianza entre ciertos políticos y religiosos, sus conexiones transnacionales y su agenda moral y autoritaria. Argüimos que los católicos de esta corriente se mimetizan en su actuar político con los evangélicos. Abordamos el estudio de la interacción entre los campos político y religioso a partir de las noticias de los eventos relatados en la prensa escrita y las publicaciones en las páginas oficiales de las entidades religiosas. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Messianic Fraternity: Anticommunism in the General Conferences of the Latin American and Caribbean Episcopate(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2025-01-01)This paper analyzes the development and consolidation of anticommunist discourse in the General Conferences of the Latin American Episcopate (CELAM), from Rio de Janeiro to Aparecida. It adopts a critical perspective to examine the construction of the “messianic fraternity” myth—an ideological narrative contrasting Christian ideals of community and redemption with Marxist principles of class struggle and revolution, which served as a central axis for the Church's rejection of communism in Latin America. Grounded in a critical analysis of the CELAM's final documents, this study identifies the theological, political, and social underpinnings of this stance, situating it within the historical and geopolitical dynamics that positioned the Church as a key counterforce to Marxism in the region. It also examines how anticommunist positions shaped pastoral strategies, particularly in relation to social movements like liberation theology, and reinforced an episcopal identity centered on defending Christian values against a perceived global ideological threat. This analysis highlights the Church's internal tensions and contradictions and the broader impact of its anticommunist stance on Latin America's sociopolitical and religious dynamics in the twentieth century.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, In the Same Spirit. Looking for Political Legitimacy: Conservative Christian Alliances in Contemporary Peru(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025-01-01)The relationship between religion and politics in recent decades has seen new actors, new strategies, and new objectives. In a global scenario marked by the empowerment of the political far right and the decline of democracy, the emergence of authoritarian religious leaders in politics stands out. In the last decade, this phenomenon has been evident in several Latin American countries, including Peru. This study analyzes the relationship between the political and religious fields, emphasizing the convergence of Catholic and Evangelical actors whose practices and discourses seem to be driven by the same "spirit." Although the roots of such relationships lie in the 1990s, this study focuses on the last decade. Faced with a severe political crisis and deep distrust of social institutions, far-right political leaders seek to regain legitimacy in the religious sphere, whose institutions are the only ones that still have significant credibility. Conservative religious authoritarianism in Peruvian politics has a serious impact on the weakening of democracy. This article examines this phenomenon of de-democratization linked to the erosion of fundamental elements of classical democracy. Theological resources and technical effects of new media are reviewed to understand their effect on transforming political adversaries into illegitimate "enemies." The study considers the importance of religion for the majority of the population, the specific weight of Catholics and Evangelicals, and the effect of the recent election of Pope Leo XIV on the balance of power—progressives versus conservatives—in Catholic leadership.1
