Editor's Note:
A Velhice do Padre Eterno é uma coleção de sátiras contra os dogmas e os ritos do catolicismo, [...] dedicada à memória de Guilherme de Azevedo e a Eça de Queirós, publicada em 1885. Na composição inicial, «Aos Simples», [Guerra Junqueiro] esclarece que apenas pretende atacar os dogmas e o clero, e não os que têm fé, e proclama a sua própria «crença robusta»: «Mas também acredito, embora isso vos pese, / E me julgueis talvez o maior dos ateus, / Que no universo inteiro há uma só diocese / E uma só catedral com um só bispo - Deus.» Ao longo do livro, o autor censura violentamente a deturpação do ideal cristão primitivo (veja-se «A vinha do Senhor»), o fanatismo religioso, o ritualismo oco, o jesuitismo, as superstições obscurantistas e o Vaticano (a que chama «bordel da Igreja»). Pela sua violência, inusitada nos [...] meios literários [de Portugal], a obra foi e vem sendo ainda censurada pelos sectores cristãos. No entanto, juntamente com A Morte de D. João, ela destinava-se a ser inscrita num tríptico, projetado pelo autor, e que este não viria a concluir, em que, depois de demolidos D. João e o Padre Eterno, se deveria glorificar Prometeu e Jesus Cristo.A Velhice do Padre Eterno. In Infopédia [Em linha]. Porto: Porto Editora, 2003-2012. [Consult. 2012-04-11]. Disponível na www: Em seguida à Morte de D. João, comecei a escrever um novo poema - A Morte do Padre Eterno (A Morte de Jeová era o título primitivo.), cujo plano completo, até aos mínimos detalhes, estava de há muito elaborado no meu espírito.Mas, em tôrno dessa ideia principal, germinou um grande número de ideias acessórias, donde nasceu um livro novo. A Velhice do Padre Eterno, colecção de 50 poesias, que são 50 balas, que partindo de diversos pontos, vão todas bater no mesmo alvo.Guerra Junqueiro - A Velhice do Padre Eterno. Julho de 1885Neste livro [Guerra Junqueiro] dispara balas contra a Igreja, mas não contra Deus. O anticlericalismo de [Junqueiro] manifesta-se forte aqui, com críticas ferozes aos curas e aos papas, sua gula, avareza, ganância e todos os defeitos possíveis. Mas aparece também o sentimento de religiosidade, já que o autor não nega a existência de Deus, apenas a validade e moralidade da Igreja Católica. Este livro foi ilustrado por Leal da Câmara, que reflete em suas aguarelas os sentimentos e impressões de [Guerra Junqueiro], com padres bonachões e imagens como Jesus conversando com Voltaire e Deus escarrando. [Sob o] aspecto técnico, [Junqueiro] usa rimas em todos os versos, apesar de não se perder exageradamente a metrificação. http://www.pobrevirtual.com.br/defaul...
