A recepção de Nietzsche no Seminário Maior Nossa Senhora da Conceição em Viamão/RS.

Uma recepção marcada pelo conservadorismo ultramontano.

Abstract

In continuation of this series of articles that we have published about the Nietzsche Reception in religious formation environments in Southern Brazil, one could not miss is that was considered between the 50's and 90's the largest seminary in Latin America: The Major Seminary of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, in Viamão/RS. Since its beginnings, the design of this Seminary has brought important elements to understand what kind of reception the writings of the German Philosopher have in it. The result of a set of situations marked by disagreements, freak, misunderstandings and disaffections, the Seminar of Viamão bears in its DNA the mark of a type of formation for future ordained ministers of the Catholic Church, characterized by orthodoxy and conservatism. Unlike what even before the formation of this Seminary, the Jesuit Seminary in São Leopoldo, as we have already had the opportunity to analyze in another article, the Viamão Seminary, by its characteristics, it will shape a type of reception of Nietzsche's writings, marked by ultramontane conservatism.
