Abstract

In this study we have analyzed the opinion articles published in the «Civic Education» section of the Catholic magazine Vitral, of the Pinar del Río Civic-Religious Center, from September 2002 to January 2004, with the objective of determining their role in strengthening civil society in Cuba. As a methodological tool we chose content analysis, both quantitative and qualitative. Based on the results obtained from the quantification of the selected information, we proceed to the study of their content, within the context of Cuban reality. Prior to that, we establish a theoretical framework, in order to clarify the concept of civil society and its main characteristics in Cuba, as well as the role of the Church and lay Catholics in its promotion.
