Summary:This review analysis the contribution of Duncan Simpson’s book O Estado Novo e o Salazarismo to the historiography about the relationship between the Portuguese political regime and Catholic Church in Portugal since Salazar took office as minister of Finances in 1928, during the military ditactorship government, to his political death in 1968.
