description The article deals with the participation of the Catholic Church in the political life of Brazil, particularly centered on the process of deterioration of its fragile democracy that led to the 1964 coup d'état and the establishment of a dictatorship, the fruit of an unquestionable social coalition. It certainly had military members in its composition, but it also included other actors, such as businessmen, traditional politicians, technocrats and members of the clergy. We know many of its details from sources bequeathed by the Instituto de Pesquisas e Estudos Sociais (IPÊS), one of its most important rams coordinating one of the groups with the greatest performance, through which we seek to show a core part of that participation. These documents illustrate how this interweaving was intense, often more direct and sometimes more opaque, firm evidence that there was a real project behind it all. Thus, we can see how the Institute made use of the discourse of the Catholic Church, of its cadres and even of specific institutions for this purpose, in a process that was neither linear nor homogeneous, since they also show us tensions and oppositions.

El artículo aborda la participación de la Iglesia católica en la vida política de Brasil, particularmente centrada en el proceso de deterioro de su frágil democracia que llevó al golpe de Estado de 1964 y a la instauración de una dictadura, fruto de una incuestionable coalición social. Ciertamente, ella tenía militares en su composición,pero también incluyó otros actores, como empresarios, políticos tradicionales, tecnócratas y miembros del clero. Conocemos muchos de sus pormenores a partir de las fuentes legadas por el Instituto de Pesquisas e Estudos Sociais (IPÊS), uno de sus arietes más importantes coordinando uno de los grupos con mayor actuación, a través de las cuales buscamos mostrar parte medular de esa participación. Estos documentos nos ilustran acerca de cómo esa imbricación fue intensa, muchas veces realizada de modo más directo y en otras más opaco, evidencias firmes de que hubo un verdadero proyecto por detrás de todo ello. Así, podemos ver cómo el Instituto se valió del discurso de la Iglesia católica, de sus cuadros y hasta de instituciones específicas con ese propósito, en un proceso que no fue lineal ni homogéneo, ya que también nos muestran tensiones y oposiciones.
