| Sumario: | The article investigates the dynamic between the Assemblies of God and the Catholic Church in Brazil during the 1980s, highlighting how the "Messenger of Peace" was used to create a demonized image of the Catholic Church, criticizing Liberation Theology and ecumenism. It discusses the strategy of the Assemblies of God to strengthen its identity and political influence by portraying Catholicism as a strategic enemy, reflecting on the impact of these narratives on the Brazilian religious and political landscape of the time. Additionally, the article emphasizes the political instrumentalization of faith by the Assemblies of God, using anti-Catholic sentiment to mobilize followers and secure political representation. This study reveals the pivotal role of print media, particularly the "Messenger of Peace," in shaping public perception and inter-religious relations during a critical period in Brazilian history. |
