Abstract

Recently, in the conservative wave in Latin America, the political participation of the conservative Pentecostal Church has been highlighted. This article analyzes the impact of this political participation on democracy and its development, based on the case of Brazil. First, the Pentecostal churches contributed greatly to religious pluralism, but show an exclusive and aggressive attitude toward other religions and ideologies. Also, in the process of selecting official candidates, most members of the churches are politically mobilized according to the unilateral decisions of the leadership, and these elected candidates serve the specific corporatist interests of their own denomination or church rather than the public interest. In addition, the purpose of political participation to obtain public offices is also a stumbling block to the development of democracy in Brazil by placing it in the direct realization of a specific religious interests or values of the rebuilding of the Christian kingdom.

최근 라틴아메리카의 우경화 과정에서 보수적인 오순절교회의 정치 참여가 크게 부각되고 있다. 이 글은 브라질 사례를 중심으로, 이러한 정치 참여가 민주주의와 그 발전에 끼치는 영향에 주목한다. 먼저 오순절교회들은 성장과 확산을 통해 가톨릭 중심의 독점적 구도를 무너뜨리고 종교적 다원화에 크게 기여했지만, 자신과 다른 종교나 이념에 대한 배타적이고 공격적 태도를 보인다, 또한 주요한 참여 형태인 공식 후보와 관련하여 지도부의 일방적인 결정에 다수의 신자들은 정치적으로 동원되고, 이렇게 당선된 후보자는 공익보다는 지도부의 지도하에 자신의 교단 또는 교회의 특수한 조합주의적 이해관계에 복무한다. 그리고 국회의원, 주의원 등 공직을 획득하려는 정치 참여의 목적도 그리스도교 왕국 재건이라는 특수한 종교적 이해나 가치의 직접적인 실현에 둠으로써 브라질의 민주주의 발전에 걸림돌로 작용한다.
