According to Aparecida Archbishop Orlando Brandes, 75, Brazil, "the right" is violent and unfair.
This was the content of a "homily" Brandes delivered to 40,000 Catholics at the Feast of Our Lady of Aparecida (October 12).
Instead of preaching the Gospel, Brandes lashed out against a “dragon of traditionalism” which according to him is “shooting the Pope, the Synod and the Second Vatican Council.”
Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro, a lapsed Catholic, was present and received Holy Communion. In the past, Bolsonaro was "re-baptised" by a Protestant. Twice divorced, he attends now a Baptist service with his Protestant concubine, also a divorcee.
Media interpreted Archbishop Brandes’ "homily" as an attack against Bolsonaro. Brandes immediately denied, saying that he meant “ideologies” not political governments.
He however renewed his attack against “many (sic!) people" who hold "traditionalist views” and don't accept Francis and the Francis Church.

It's nice to be noticed. We are making progress by occupying Brandes' mind.
