Vulnerabilidade e pandemia

: estudo das dinâmicas católicas na Europa do sul (2019-2021)

Abstract

The study is fundamentally based on the Pandemic caused by COVID-19 that has devastated all levels of society. The epicenter of our focus on this topic will focus on the countries of Southern Europe: Italy, France, Spain and Portugal. But we cannot forget the information experienced and shared in different corners of the globe. The search for answers in the face of an unknown virus gives rise to several insecurities that raise questions that require quick responses from various government and religious institutions. It is important to keep in mind the questions about the consequences that arose, the policies used as guidelines, the impacts and inequalities. In the face of the pandemic climate and, in addition to the search for solutions, it is necessary to look at vulnerability and fragility as important themes that end up contributing to the study of tensions and responses in the various sectors, in the economy, in politics, in society, in religious institutions. In a world where globalization enters our doors, we are subjected to paradigm shifts between the physical and digital worlds, in politics at the national and supranational level and in society between freedom and control.
