| Descripción: | Abstract: In this article, through a socio-historical approach, the Catholic religious context prior to the Pentecostal boom that has occurred since the 1960s in Costa Rica is analyzed. That is, a reflection related to the Catholic Church of the 20th century. It investigates where the roots are and the spirit that allowed it to maintain its influence, opposition and resistance to the entry of Protestantism. The main works consulted are: “The Costa Rican Church: between God and Caesar” by Miguel Picado published in 1988; and, “State and Catholic Church in Costa Rica 1850-1920: in the processes of control of geographical space and the creation of a Costa Rican model”, by José Sandí, published in 2012, plus unpublished publications from the 30s and 50s. From the theoretical, we turn to Pierre Bourdieu and his work on the religious field. It is concluded that the Catholic Church, faced with liberal laws, the social issue, the appearance of communism and Protestantism, knew how to accommodate itself to maintain its influence both politically, religiously and culturally, in such a way that, in the Constitution of the Second Republic (1949), continued to maintain the status of official religion. |
