With a sometimes ambiguous stance, the Catholic Church has, over the centuries, demonstrated an immeasurable capacity for renewal and adaptation to the current historical context, something that can be observed, for example, in its attitudes towards military dictatorships. Whether it is in support or questioning this type of regime, the Brazilian clergy as well as Sergipe experienced moments of tension in the second half of the twentieth century. During his episcopate (1960-1987), Bishop José Brandão de Castro, the first bishop of the Diocese of Propria - se, was involved in a series of accusations of communist practices due to his change of attitude of condescension towards the defender regime of social causes and human rights. In this context, we aim to analyze the performance of Dom Brandão during the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship, emphasizing the period in which he was accused of communism, trying to understand the circumstances surrounding the episode, its repercussion in the religious, social and political scenario, but also attentive to the discourses built around the fact, especially in the press. To that end, the sources used in the production of this paper include newspapers such as A Defesa, Jornal de Sergipe, Gazeta de Sergipe, among others, and official sources (encyclicals, documents of the State Commission of Truth-SE), highlighting the fields of research in Church History and Press History. We thus understand that Dom Brandão's performance at the head of the diocese of Propriá displeased some sectors of society, a determining factor for having been raised the condition of constant vigilance by state security organs, as well as the Catholic Church itself which was part.
