TY - EJOUR AU - Fernando Tavares Pimenta T1 - La Chiesa Cattolica e l’Estado Novo nell’Africa Portoghese: tra cooperazione istituzionale e dissenso politico TT - AB - In this article we address the issue of the political relationship between the Estado Novo regime and the Catholic Church in Portuguese colonial Africa. We will thus consider forms of institutional cooperation, embodied in the 1940 Missionary Agreement, but also cases of tension and even dissent between members of the Catholic clergy and Portuguese colonial authorities. In the end, we will show that the Catholic Church was far from representing an accessory of the Estado Novo in Africa.
