Abstract

This is a critical report about the visit to the catholic goods market Expocatolica 2023, which happens annually in São Paulo city. From Material Religion methods, the main goal was to map religious-ideological tendencies materialized in the trade of liturgic objects, as well as secular objects added of religious symbolisms. As secondary goals, I tried to observe negotiations between religion and new technologies, as well as, to what extent religiosities have been commoditized.
