Abstract
A relação entre o Estado e a Igreja Católica ao longo do período do Estado Novo atravessou diferentes momentos, especialmente no 3º quartel do século XX, quando se verificaram diferentes tensões no plano das relações institucionais. Para além destas, o texto analisa outros níveis de observação que importa conhecer, nomeadamente, a importância das práticas culturais expressivas
associadas à música. Nesse sentido, e partindo do cruzamento do poder do Estado com a presença de temáticas religiosas na música ligeira desenvolvida propositadamente para os festivais de música, este texto procura discutir o papel desta categoria musical como elemento de propaganda religiosa na sua interligação com o poder político.

this text analyzes other observation levels that may contribute to knowledge-gathering, specifically expressive cultural practices associated with music. Thus, starting from the intersection of state power on the one hand, and the presence of religious themes in so-called popular music, specifically
developed for music festivals, on the other, this text aims to discuss the role of this musical categoryas a tool of religious propaganda in its interconnection with political power.
