The article aims to relate the course of Moral Theology, existing at the University of Évora in the 16th century, with the Portuguese society formation process of in the respective period. The Moral Theology course, also called Cases of Conscience, was designed to the formation of the diocesan clergy and, therefore, intended to prepare religious who would work in parishes with their faithful. The research has a qualitative approach and is documentary and bibliographical. Norbert Elias' theory of civilizing processes served as support for the analysis carried out here, enabling a dialogue with society and the reading of a given reality. Through our analysis, we were able to identify that the higher institution, administered by the Companhia de Jesus (Society of Jesus), played the role of construction of the psychogenesis of that society through the formation of religious who needed to know the Church's moral rules for the proper guidance of their followers.
