The growing political influence of evangélico Christians in traditionally Catholic Brazil has caught the attention of social and political scientists as well as theologians. What are the reasons for two thirds of the mainly Pentecostal and Neo-Pentecostal electorate voting for Jair Messias Bolsonaro, the representative of an extreme right? This article explores traditional positions aligned with Bolsonaro’s morality, but also those that are contrary. The government’s blatant failure to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic has given, and indeed should give, rise to what the author calls an “evangélico sense of shame” as a consequence of the incompatibility of many of that part of the electorate that explicitly identified its faith convictions with Bolsonaro’s stances and actions. At the extreme end of an uncritical adherence is idolatry, visible, in the president being anointed by Edir Macedo, the supreme bishop of the Universal Church of God’s Kingdom. A genuinely theological dialogue and criticism is needed that would evaluate not only cognitive, but also affective and spiritual arguments and aspects.

Evangélicos 中没有羞耻感吗？博尔索纳罗的偶像崇拜与福音的约束

日益增长的政治影响力福音派传统天主教巴西的基督徒引起了社会和政治科学家以及神学家的注意。以五旬节派和新五旬节派为主的选民中有三分之二投票给极右翼代表贾伊尔·梅西亚斯·博尔索纳罗的原因是什么？本文探讨了符合博尔索纳罗道德观的传统立场，但也探讨了与之相反的立场。政府公然未能应对冠状病毒-19 大流行已经而且确实应该引起作者所说的“福音派羞耻感”，因为许多明确表示其信仰信念与博尔索纳罗的立场和行为不相容的选民不相容。在不加批判的坚持的极端是偶像崇拜，可见，总统由上帝王国普世教会的最高主教埃迪尔马塞多任命。需要真正的神学对话和批评，不仅要评估认知，还要评估情感和精神的论点和方面。
