Resumo: The object of study and research of this dissertation is to analyse the advance of the pentecostalism and the reaction of the arguments declared in some Catholic Church s documents, mainly in three sources: the Vatican, the CELAM and the CNBB, aiming at those that have more concern on the whole situation of the moment, that lead, as a consequence, to the necessity of dialogue toward religious pluralism. The questions of the research are as follow: How is it that the pentecostalism has historically spread up in Brazil? What are its causes and results? How the Catholic Church s word is placed toward the advance of the pentecostalism? What sort of interpretation we should give to the Church s thinkings, that try to reflect on the problem, specially in what is refered its attitudes concerning to dialogue and religious pluralism? The main hypothesis shows the Catholic Church in Brazil s concern to pentecostal growing, that produces strategics reactions, the recognition of the religious pluralism as well, and the seeking for dialogue, as the documents s contents expose in all theirs levels. The Church s thoughts are ambivalents: now an exclusivistic eclesiocentrism mark, than an inclusivistic cristocentrism position, or pluralistic teocentrism. The Church s praxis, mediated by discourses, change according to these positions. In the first chapter we work on the history of pentecostalism evolution by through several informations from census, different research sources, wich show the exodus of catholics to pentecostalism. In the second chapter we study some a few documents of the Church with its defensive discourse, of dialogue and the perplexity in front of religious pluralism and the advance of pentecostalism, the dialogue s trials with both evangelic and pentecostal people. In the third chapter we try to make clear the Church s position before the advance of pentecostalism, wich flows into the recognition of the religious pluralism and the necessity of dialogue. To interpret the discourses s position of the theology before religious pluralism we took in account three theological patterns: the exclusivist, the inclusivist and the pluralist. These are three paradigms with theological nature that let us to the knowledge of the Church s thoughts, in three levels: the Vatican, the CELAM and the CNBB, that aim at the pentecostalism s advance and place the problem on how to face this challenge , through dialogue with the creeds s diversity
