Abstract
This article aims to contribute to the anthropology of the Catholic « institutional habitat », combining the ethnography of an urban Catholic parish in Portugal, with the study of two theoretical archipelagos by Michel de Certeau : his politics of belief and his anthropology of everyday life. The study seeks to show that the institution process of belief in the Catholic parish, in a context of ultra-urbanisation, depends on an institutional elasticity which is emerges in the interval between strategic power and the tactical practices, including : « patchwork », juxtapositions, oscillations and hybridism.
