The paradigm of the modernity has determined a new format in the social organization. The basic institutions began a long race to accompany the deep changes that influenced the humanity, and among them the Catholic Church, which was directly reached by the phenomenon of the secularism. The Catholic Church needed to review the posture of estrangement to the world to get enchant it again. The decline of the Brazilian Catholicism, verified from the census of 1940, became the Catholicism as an object of countless studies for the social sciences and kindred areas. Cândido Procópio Ferreira de Camargo made himself remarkable in that singular subject when presented a typology of Catholics from differentiated faces: traditional and internalized. Camargo's researches expresses the constitution of two individuals that live together, although in antagonistic positions, in the same Brazilian Catholic space. The present investigation has located in the Roman Apostolic Catholic Church in Brazil, in the attempt of answering to the reflexes of the modernity, above all in the combat to the secularism and the process characterized by Weber as disenchanting of the world ", which has oscillated between proximity practices and estrangement of the own " world ". The answers have generated ambiguous positions inside of the own hierarchy determining social and subjective directions that express two differentiated types of subjects. In this singular point, it was explored the concept of individual-in-constitution, considering that the people have been moved by the desire of life look for new forms of composing its self-image and, by means of identification with social practices that are capable of rescue them in its dignity. Hereby they project its lives in the continuous construction of a new social space in order to live well and happy. A citizenship in construction which is resulting of new collective individuals and, because of the identification of common social projects, has assumed the condition of temporary and in each new challenge may constituted as new social individuals moved by the desire which is "meaning of life ". To bring it up themes as the modernity, secularism, high modernity, subjectivity, individual-in-constitution and citizenship, it was prepared a structure of research that, while being focus on the Catholic Church in Brazil, define itself in the time and consider the ambiguities among the decades of 40 and 70. Starting from this historical period, we thought about us as high modernity in the process of self- reflection capable to notice the continuity of the paradoxical directions inside the Catholic Church, by means of the study in two ways of organization of the action of the Church: (CEBs) Base Ecclesiastic Community and the (MRCC) Movement of Catholic Charismatic Renewal. Both of them expresses the composition of two types of individuals characterized by a political participation returned to outside (social) and another for a mystic participation (subjective). The ideological discussion among the two social and subjective directions inside the Brazilian Catholic Church comparing, analyzing and discussing these two organization forms, and the intention of verify the individuals that emerge from them, and to what extent they go away or they are attracted as necessary and complementary, are the main objective of the present study. By means of the bibliographical and of the empiric researches , the investigation accomplished in CEBs and MRCC presents itself as necessary for the understanding of the Catholic Church in its current phase, becoming important for the social sciences.
