O problema da pesquisa surge da experi?ncia pastoral como presb?tero na diocese de Inhambane, em Mo?ambique. O tema engloba de modo transversal as ?reas da Religi?o Tradicional Africana (RTA) e da teologia cat?lica na dimens?o lit?rgico-pastoral do Sacramento da Ordem; concretamente no grau presbiteral. O estudo apresenta a rela??o entre o ?sacerdote tradicional? dos vatshwa1 e o presb?tero cat?lico no concernente ?s fun??es exercidas na ora??o pelos defuntos, pelas duas figuras em destaque no presente trabalho. Aborda-se, brevemente, a historiografia eclesiol?gica de Mo?ambique, desde a primeira presen?a dos mission?rios at? a fase atual. Em seguida, faz-se a descri??o das fun??es do ?sacerdote tradicional? no rito das ex?quias no contexto dos vatshwa. Ali?s, ? fundamental que se tenha presente que este sacerdote faz parte do cl?; n?o ? um desconhecido. A sua ascens?o a esta categoria n?o ? por voca??o, mas por direito ou por indica??o dos antepassados. Descreve-se, outrossim, o minist?rio presbiteral na sua extens?o e depois se focaliza o mesmo como homem chamado a rezar pelos defuntos. Assim, a pesquisa mostra semelhan?as e diferen?as entre o ?sacerdote tradicional? e o presb?tero cat?lico. Nesta pesquisa concluiu-se que os problemas pastorais relativos ? ora??o pelos defuntos devem-se, em grande parte, ?s falhas da primeira evangeliza??o no que diz respeito ? compreens?o da cultura africana por parte dos mission?rios cat?licos. The issue of this research arises from the pastoral experience as a priest in the diocese of Inhambane, Mozambique. The theme encompasses, in a transversal way, the areas of African Traditional Religions (ATR) and Catholic theology in the liturgical-pastoral dimension of the Sacrament of Order; specifically in the presbyteral degree. The study presents the relationship between the ?traditional priest? of the vatshwa and the Catholic priest regarding the functions performed in the prayer for the dead, by the two characters highlighted in the present work. The ecclesiological historiography of Mozambique is briefly discussed, from the first initial presence of the missionaries to the current phase. Next, there is a description of the functions of the ?traditional priest? in the rite of the funeral in the context of the vatshwa. In fact, it is essential to keep in mind that this priest is part of the clan; it is not an unknown person. His ascension to this category is not by vocation, but by right or by indication of ancestors. The priestly ministry is also described in its scope and then focused on a man called to pray for the dead. Thus, the research shows similarities and differences between the ?traditional priest? and the Catholic priest. In this research it was concluded that the pastoral problems related to prayer for the dead are largely due to the failures of the first evangelization regarding the understanding of African culture on the part of catholic missionaries.
