Irmandades religiosas, devo????o e ultramontanismo em Porto Alegre no bispado de Dom Sebasti??o Dias Laranjeiras (1861-1888)

As manifesta????es de devo????o de tr??s irmandades religiosas porto-alegrenses, a de S??o Miguel e Almas, de Nossa Senhora da Concei????o e de Nossa Senhora do Ros??rio, que congregavam, respectivamente, irm??os brancos, pardos e negros, durante o Bispado de Dom Sebasti??o Dias Laranjeira (1861-1888), s??o o tema desta Disserta????o.
