Abstract

Catholic church, state, marriage and divorce are keywords of the reflections that follow. But the central character of the interpretations is to understand, in the first decades of nineteenth-century in Belém, the strategies of the Catholic Church and the State regarding the dialogues around the Civil Code of 1916. More specifically, the study sought to interpret marriage, family and divorce when they sought to steady them to the republican law. However, it is emphasized that both the State and the Church had the same views regarding the triad, then, marriage was indissoluble, the family he established the foundations of society and divorce established "only" separation of bodies and goods; if so, where they were located the bickering between the two? It is argued that the fights corresponded whom compete the official jurisdiction over the institutes, as church and state thought were instances of power that played incisive force in society and that "owners" of morals and good customs.
