| Abstract | |
Toca de Assis is a Catholic community with proposed consecratedlife, originating from Campinas (SP) city since 1994. Based on fieldwork, I analyze the community's symbolic and ritual dimension from its proposal of rescue of the "true Catholic Church" by ways of personal and immediate experience with God. Following Toca de Assis since 2005, this research indicates a process of tension and changes in its relation with society and the hierarchical institution of Catholic Church. Based on its social relationships and religious habits, I show an ethnography that thinks the christian's myth actualizing machine from the limits of a local community in connection with the roman authority, as well from the limits of the personal experience in connection with the ecclesiastical institution (AU) | |
