This paper analyzes the transnational relationship between European Catholic clerics and the Brazilian working class during the military dictatorship in the 1960s and 1970s. It focuses on "worker priests (padres operarios/curas rojos)," who were part of an international movement of priests who worked in factories and ministered to working-class communities. In Brazil, worker-priests created ecclesiastical communities on the industrial outskirts of Sao Paulo and in Santos, a port region of Sao Paulo state. They were severely persecuted by the military regime.
