Description
Summary:This work seeks to highlight the trajectories of three priests who cured with homeopathic medicine in Southern Brazil between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century: Father João Pedro Gay (1815-1891), Frei Rogério Neuhaus (1863-1934) and Father Roberto Landell de Moura (1861-1928). The pastoral, therapeutic and scientific practices of these religious are related to different contexts and historical periods of affirmation of homeopathy in Brazil. From a documentary research centered on the analysis of manuscripts and biographies of the three priests, we seek to understand how relationships between homeopathy, Catholicism and society were established from their different ways of dealing with healing. In the paths traced by the healer priests, religion, health, politics and science meet under the prism of homeopathy. With the legal incorporation of homeopathy in the medical field and the progressive restrictions on its practice by non-doctors, there was a gap between Catholicism and homeopathy in Brazil.
