PINTO, Lucas Henrique. The Influence of the Pastoral Land Commission (CPT) in the Constitution of the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST): A Brief Theoretical-Documentary Analysis of the Role of Religion in the Social Conflicts of Brazil (1954-1984). rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2015, n.51, pp.76-88. ISSN 0123-885X.  https://doi.org/10.7440/res51.2015.06.

This article seeks to relate the influence of the Pastoral Land Commission with its ties to Liberation Theology in. organizing the Landless Rural Workers of Brazil in 1984. That ecclesial model was one of the basic variables in the constitution of said social movement and its distinctive scale of national representation and socio-political coordination, which was to influence the methodology of rural collective action in Latin America in the decades that followed. The aim of the present project is thus to situate the debate regarding the agrarian issue in Brazilia during the military dictatorship, emphasizing the role of the Catholic Church in the process.
