MA C Abrera the CHURCH in BRAZIL M.A. Cabrera THE CHURCH IN BRAZIL: A CHURCH ON THE ROAD TO LIBERATION (Part I: 1968-1971) FOREWORD In the late seventies and early eighties the Brazilian church has arisen as a great hope for the churches and peoples of Latin America and of the entire world. Since the second Vatican Council the Brazilian church has entered an accelerated process of change and renewal and has increasingly supported the rights of the oppressed people and their struggle for liberation. In this study we want to follow this development of the Brazilian church. We shall examine various documents which are important in this context. We shall limit ourselves to those documents in which the Brazilian church (bishops, priests, members of orders, lay-people and parishes) takes a stand in the Brazilian situation. These documents have reference either to the Brazilian situation in general or to specific political and social facts. Many of these documents arose out of tensions and conflicts between the church and the economic, political or military powers. This unpretentious study is not the result of extensive research. Instead it seeks to point out new areas of research and at the same time offer theologians, missiologists, and pastoral workers materials and information which can serve as a source of inspiration. We shall take the year 1968 as a starting point. 1968 was an important year in the history of Brazil and of the Latin American church. There is also a practical reason for taking the year 1968 as a starting point. Since that year there exists an important documentation service, the SEDOC, which provides direct access to documents and writings of the Brazilian church.

The most important inducement for the coup d'etat was the presidential decree of March 13 by which the government of Goulart wanted to nationalize the private oil refineries and implement limited agricultural reforms. In this manner the government sought to continue its policy of "Reformas de base" (basic reforms). The aim of the coup d'etat was to impose a new model of economic development under the guise of combatting "the communist threat and the chaos". Behind the military coup stood the international coup and the United States. With the Constitutional Act No. I (Ato Institucional) of April 9, 378 politicians were deprived of their political rights for ten years and 10,000 civil servants were dis- missed from the state administration. The repression was especially severe among students and in the university environment. The MEB (Movi- miento de Educacion de Base), in which Paulo Freire worked, and the JUC (Juventud Universitaria Catolica) were the Catholic organizations which were the most harassed. The Brazilian bishops did not meet to assess the new situation until May 27. Only 26 (of the more than 250) bishops were present at this special meeting of the CNBB (Conferencia Nacional dos Bispos do Brasil). The statement issued began with an unconditional approval of the coup which had saved the nation from "imminent ruin". But the text as a whole is not coherent. It is a compromise between two different trends who inserted contradictory assertions into the text. According to Charles Antoine these two groups consisted of "ceux qui applaudissent le nouveau regime et ceux qui rappelent les exigences de la justice sociale. Deux visions de 1'Eglise et de la societe s'affrontent: 1'une, centree sur le moralisme et la necessite imperieuse de garantir 1'ordre social; 1'autre, attentive avant tout aux problemes de la justice sociale". The only points of agreement in these two trends were an expression of trust in the new president, Marechal Castelo Branco, and in a concluding appeal for national concord . As a result the government was able to extract many quotations from the statement which indicated approval of the coup d'etat and which assured the military government of support from the church.

According to the theologian and historian Riolandi Azzi2) there are -three views of the church which exercised influence in the period under examination: the concept of the church as Christendom (Iglesia-Cristiandad) the concept of the church as the societas perfecta (Iglesia-Sociedad Perfecta) and the concept of the church as the people of God (Iglesia- Pueblo de Dios). These three diverging views of the church must be under- stood in the specific concept of Brazilian history. The "Iglesia-Cristiandad" had been developed since the sixteenth century and dominated the entire colonial period (1500-1822). The "Iglesia-Sociedad Perfecta" was introduced in Brazil in the nineteenth century, came into conflict with traditional Catholicism in the imperial period (1822-1889) and has dominated the entire republican period up to the present. The "Iglesia-Pueblo de Dios" has begun to take shape primarily since Vatican 11(1964). In the concept of IgZesia-Cr2stianaad nation and faith are identified with each other. There is one society, which is Christian and monarchical. Holy war is exercised against external enemies, ..the infidels. Against internal enemies, the heretics, use is made of the Inquisition. The monarchs are the religious leaders of the people and appoint the bishops. The bishops, who belong to the nobility, watch over the orthodoxy of the faith. Being a good Christian demands faithfulness, love and obedience to the ruler Evangelisation is practiced with a crusade mentality, as holy war against the non-Christians. The Indians are not only enemies of the white people, but also of faith and the empire. Faith is imposed on everyone, by force if necessary. - In the conception of IgZes2a-Sociedad Perfecta, which was formulated by the Council of Trent, "the church is the 'societas' of all believers who confess the same faith and receive the same sacraments under the authority of legitimate pastors and of the pope". The church exists as 'societas perfecta' alongside the state, and the freedom of the church is affirmed. The bishops are to be the true spiritual leaders of the people. In this case the Brazilian people are governed by 'two parallel but independent powers, the clerical authority and the civil authority. The mission of the church is conceived in terms of external salvation: "Save your soul!" The State must provide for the body and material matters. The rights of the Downloaded from Brill.com10/05/2021 07:23:47PM via free access church are defended with an apologetic mentality against protestantism, spiritism, the "macumba" (Afro-brazilian religions), sects, etc. With the same apologetical spirit the church fights against Free Masonry, liberalism, positivism, and socialism. In the concept of Iglesia-Pueblo de Dios it is initially emphasized that "the lay people are also the church", even if in practice they are a pro- longation of the hierarchy. The Catholic Action is a result of this participation by lay people in the hierarchical apostolate of the church. Through the Catholic Action an opening in the church for social problems is created in an attempt to rewin the lost influence on society. The most dynamic sectors of the Catholic Action were the JOC (Working Catholic Youth), JAC (Rural Catholic Youth) and JUC (Catholic Students). This view of the church was effectuated at Vatican II. The church is understood as the people of God and its commitment to the poor. This elan moves the church to identify itself with the poor and to establish base communities. 2. Riolando Azzi, having analyzed various documents of the period in question, indicates the important position which each of the three concepts of the church advocate. Following the concept of the IgZesia-Cr2st2andad a Christian Brazil and a Christian society are promoted. There is a battle against communism on behalf of Christian civilization and this battle takes on the character of a holy war. Within the church a return to the orthodoxy of the "Catholic principles" is demanded. In Brazil the movement Tradition, Family and Private Property (T.F.P.) has become an incarnation of this spirit. The T.F.P. (Tradicion, Familia y Propiedad) has led a large scale campaign against the agricultural reforms and has played a significant role in the establishment of the military dictatorship. Following the concept of the IgZesia-Sociedad Perfecta effective cooperation between church and state is pursued. Economic and political leadership belongs to the competence of the state and spiritual leadership to that of the church. The church accepts the powers that be and the status quo. The maintenance of a harmonious relation with the state is considered to be of great value, and should be preserved even in times of tensions and conflict. The church exhorts the state to implement the promised social reforms, and in situations of conflict or violation of human rights the church can turn to the government in the hope that it will act justly. Downloaded from Brill.com10/05/2021 07:23:47PM via free access In the concept of the IgZesia-PuebZo de Dios the theology of liberation plays a central role. The struggle for human rights is viewed in a social dimension, i.e. in relation to the economic and political structure of the country. The church denounces the capitalist structure of the country, which perpetuates the oppression of the people under the guise of the battle against communism. The church chooses the side of the oppressed and in this way breaks the traditional ties to the established powers.

    International Marian Association Letter to Cardinal Mueller 31 May 2017 Eminence, Gerhard Cardinal Müller Prefect, Congregation for the Doctrine on Faith Piazza del S. Uffizio, 11 00193 Roma, Italy Your Eminence: We, Executive Members of the International Marian Association, which consti- tutes over 100 theologians, cardinals, bishops, clergy, religious and lay leaders from 5 continents, wish to, first of all, thank you for the many excellent and courageous articulations and defenses of our holy Catholic Faith, as contained in your recently released, The Cardinal Müller Report. At the same time, we are obliged to express to you our grave concern regarding your comment from the text when you state: “(for example, the Church … does not call her [Mary] “co-redeemer,” because the only Redeemer is Christ, and she herself has been redeemed sublimiore modo, as Lumen Gentium [n. 53] says, and serves this redemption wrought exclusively by Christ… (p. 133). You unfortunately refer to this term as an example of false exaggeration: “falsely exaggerating per excessum, attributing to the Virgin what is not attributable to her” (Ibid.). Your Eminence, in making this statement, albeit as a private theologian since a public interview carries no authoritative or magisterial status, you have publicly stated: 1) a theologically and historically erroneous position, since the Church undeni- ably has and does call Mary a co-redeemer; and 2) a position which, in itself, materially dissents from the repeated and authoritative teachings of the Papal Magisterium, the historical teachings from your own Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith (Holy Office)and other Vatican Congregations; the pre- and post-conciliar teachings of the Magisterium as expressed through numerous cardinals, bishops and national episcopal conferences; teachings of the broader Church, inclusive of multiple can- onized saints and blessed who all do, in fact, assent to and theologically expand upon the authentic Magisterial teachings of the Church concerning Mary as a co- redeemer.

  • A Tale of Two Priests: Three Decades Of
    A TALE OF TWO PRIESTS: THREE DECADES OF LIBERATION THEOLOGY IN THE BRAZILIAN NORTHEAST Jan Hoffman French Working Paper #328 - October 2006 Jan Hoffman French is an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Richmond. She earned her PhD in cultural anthropology from Duke University (2003) and her JD from the University of Connecticut Law School (1981). In addition to her fall 2005 visiting fellowship at the Kellogg Institute for International Studies at the University of Notre Dame, French has also held a Rockefeller Foundation fellowship in the humanities at Northwestern University and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park. A former practicing attorney in Brazil and the United States, French is currently writing a book manuscript, The Rewards of Resistance: Legalizing Black and Indian Identities in Brazil’s Northeast. Her articles have appeared in the American Ethnologist, American Anthropologist, and Political and Legal Anthropology Review. ABSTRACT This paper examines two successful rural struggles in the semiarid backlands of northeastern Brazil that were shaped by, and helped define, two generations of pastoral agents inspired by liberation theology. The first was the movement for recognition and land by a group of rural workers who were to become the Xocó tribe in the wake of the formation of the Indigenist Missionary Council of the Catholic Church and the implementation of the Indian Statute in the early 1970s. Their struggle began in 1971, during the darkest days of the military dictatorship, when Frei Enoque, a Catholic seminarian associated with Hélder Câmara, came to Sergipe to minister to the rural poor.

At the time the Patriarch of Venice, Cardinal Albino Luciani, in his last letter to his sister Antonia writes: «Ahead of me lies no danger». 26 August - By the fourth ballot the quorum is reached with an almost unanimous consent. Cardinal Albino Luciani assents to the election and takes the name of John Paul. At 19.20 the proto-deacon Cardinal Pericle Felici announces the Habemus Papam. At 19.30 John Paul I appears at the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica to impart his Apostolic blessing. The cardinals prolong their stay in the conclave area until the following morning. 27 August - At 9.30 Eucharistic concelebration together with all the cardinals: those to elect him and those over eighty, excluded from the conclave because of their age. His first Urbi et Orbi radio message outlines the six point programme, or ‘vogliamo’, of his pontificate. At his first Angelus appearance he says: «I hope you will support me with your prayers». Unexpectedly he renounces the traditional plural maiestatis, or royal we. Takes possession of his private apartment on the third floor of the Apostolic Palace accompanied by his secretary, Don Diego Lorenzo. 28 August - Names Cardinal Jean Villot as Secretary of State and reconfirms all other official curial posts. 29 August - Names Monsignor Giuseppe Bosa as apostolic administrator of Venice and sends a message to Venetians.

  • Latin Mass in Latin America
    LATIN MASS IN LATIN AMERICA by John Burke There is a corner of God's earth where not only are a good 400 Masses a week said reverently in Latin for the faithful but the entire traditional liturgy is followed as a matter of faith. Catholic doctrine and discipline, undiluted and unambiguous, are being taught in home and school under approved Brazilian priests for whom Vatican II might never have taken place. New churches continue to be built exclusively for the ancient rituals in everything from baptisms (1,354 last year) to funerals in this diocese with its own seminary to the north of Rio. Yet it would be feasible for an uninformed churchgoer from elsewhere, even one speaking Portuguese, to visit the area without realising that things were different from the rest of Brazil and beyond. Paradox and miracle, it is a reality. Most readers will know about the varied efforts to preserve and revive traditional liturgy. To appreciate the unprecedented Brazilian achievement, it is worth analysing what happens worldwide. TRIDENTINE MOVEMENTS The international federation, Una Voce, and its affiliates like the Latin Mass Society in England and Wales, work with priests who usually say the New Mass too. More often than not, they must borrow a re-ordered church for the relatively rare Tridentine celebration. The International Centre for Study of the Liturgy (CIEL), founded in France, does the same, even obtaining a sympathetic member of the hierarchy or a prelate from the Vatican. In 2003, however, its seventh annual Mass in London is to be said by the only traditional bishop in Brazil.
