The text looks at how catholic intellectuals realized and faced the emergence of scientific psychology in Brazil between 1920 and 1960.The source was "A Ordem" magazine, created in 1921 by members of that group aiming to recover the hegemony of the Catholic Church in the country.A survey of articles published between decades referred before was made, through selecting and analyzing those which could have something to do with psychological themes.The moral content is constantly present, although in the 1920s Thomism appear as the only possibility to explain psychic powers, and later, to acknowledge the existence of a science which, in turn, must respect and not to oppose the catholic truths.
