Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the representations about faith and politics, present in Renewal Magazine in 2018, a periodical produced by the national directorate of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) and intended for prayer groups, training, projects, and targeting, aiming at the unity of the movement. The choice of this magazine as a study object comes from the observation of the growing presence of charismatic politicians elected in various public positions, always ready to defend conservative agendas. And the engagement of the CCR in the majority elections at the federal, state, and municipal level against the center-left parties. Having a theoretical and methodological reference the studies about printed media and periodicals and supported by studies of several authors related to the themes of faith and politic, we seek to understand how the Ministry of Faith and Politics, through Renovation Magazine, engaged in the 2018 election in support of the candidate Jair Messias Bolsonaro
