Abstract

The role of religion in modern societies is a matter that is part of the fundamental debates of the Social Sciences, and the Catholic Church emerges as a field of analysis with a particular interest in the sociological study of change in Portuguese society. This paper aims to analyze the influence of the Catholic Church in the Portuguese Criminal Code of 1886, also known as the Veiga Beirão Code. Methodologically we favored a historical-sociological approach from the perspective of contributing to the sociological knowledge of the evolution of criminal law and the influence of the Catholic Church in the construction of the Portuguese legal-criminal system.
