| Sumario: | The establishment of the Republic of Brazil in 1889 intensified discussions of anticlerical content that were fostered, among others, by freethinkers, freemasons, socialists, and anarchists, mainly due to the arrival of religious congregations in the country, identified with ultramontane catholicism. Therefore, in this article, we will deal with the propaganda to combat the Church promoted by the anarchist press with the labor movement, which, through the newspaper A Lanterna (1901-1904; 1909-1916), also brought anti-religious propositions in its framework. So, the anarchists played an essential role in the press and in the creation of fighting entities that instigated the social debate about the interference of the catholic clergy in civil society (clericalism), followed by solid criticism of religious institutions (and religion itself) that, according to the libertarian perspective, freedom of thought and social transformation were seen as obstacles. |
