Abstract

To feel with the Church in Brazil is to think with our mind turned towards the poor people, as the theological Locus of God’s presence in the world in which we live. The poor and discarded people are the mean victims of the globalization process in “liquid times”. This article dares to confront reality, even though in a summary form, in its global Latin –American and Brazilian contexts, to reect how to sentire cum ecclesia in Brazil, highlighting the ecclesiology of the preferential option for the poor, and pointing towards love as the unum necessarium for the sentire cum ecclesia today.
