The research, based on the notions of a net of intellectuals, connections, and cultural support, evaluated the articulation of elementary school teachers from a Catholic thesis expressed in pontifical documents, specialized literature and periodic press. Results indicated that circles of Public Teaching, under the leadership of Backheuser, took their chance on the enforcement of a Catholic urban ethos able to guide school actions in a fierce educational debate.
