Abstract

The creation of CEHILA [Comisión para el Estudio de la Historia de la Iglesia en Latino América], in 1973, in Quito, Ecuador, is inextricably linked to the birth to Liberation Theology in which it presents itself, doubly, as theoretical support and expression. Taking into account this premise the present article aims to discuss and demonstrate the relationship between Liberation Theology and the new history of the Catholic Church written by historians of CEHILA, mainly in the articles of REB (Revista Eclesiástica Brasileira), particularly about the concept of Romanization of Brazilian Catholicism - a key concept of historical production of CEHILA with significant national and international impact. Finally, there is a characterization of the meanings attributed to the concept of Romanization, the reasons for its adoption by the historians of CEHILA and the defense of the thesis that new history of the Catholic Church can be considered one of the most important expressions of Liberation Theology in Latin America.
