SILVA, Marcos José Diniz. Freemasonry, religion and civic service at Euclides de Vasconcelos César acting in Ceará 1920s. REHMLAC [online]. 2016, vol.8, n.1, pp.51-71. ISSN 1659-4223. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rehmlac.v8i1.24280.
This article studies Euclides de Vasconcelos Caesar's performance as a writer, teacher and journalist, on the public stage of Ceará in the1920s, highlighting, on the one hand, his intellectual role through the press, as a defender of religious freedom and equality, and supporter of a republican and secular state, on the other hand, analyzing his performance as a cultural agitator through the creation of Polimática Academy, promoting public education, civic service and the defense of universal brotherhood. As a Freemason and spiritualist as well as having a solid positivist culture, Euclid Caesar will also promote the networking element of intellectual solidarity among spiritualist of different character, enabling them to cope with the fierce opposition of the local Catholic clergy.
