Abstract

Where are the brotherhoods of the Patriarchate of Lisbon? Why
are these brotherhoods located in such spaces? The present work answers to
these two questions, being a pioneer attempt about the thematic, in Portugal.
Through the empirical validation recurring to logit models, this paper identifies
as determinants the human diversity of the spaces (parishes) and the related
tradition, not confirming the hypothesis of the purchase power of the resident
people. Therefore, it is confirmed that the resources constraint of this kind of
social groups considers the cultural and the traditional richness as fundamental
to the detriment of the exclusive budget restriction.
