Abstract

This article results from a critical reading of the book A Igreja dos Quatro Séculos de São Paulo - 1554-1954. In its historical approach, this book expresses two characteristics of a historiography and representation of the past associated with São Paulo's elite: the bandeirante spirit and the Paulistas' role in shaping the nation. The book constructs São Paulo's Catholic past in relation to a selection of specific historical moments and elements, emphasizing the presence of Jesuits during the early colonial period and especially their role in the official establishment of the city. During subsequent periods, this approach selects facts and actors that do not contradict the general representation, which seeks to show the perennial force of Catholicism in São Paulo and in Brazil.
