1) @ciminacional means "Missionary Indigenous Council". To understand how and why the Catholic Church @Pontifex can play such an important and progressive role in South America while at the same time harboring fascist factions (which we reject), please go =>
2) ... to this thread here where I explain the role of Liberation Theology during the decades when we endured USA-sponsored bloody RW dictatorships in Latin America.

3) The @ciminacional has been doing important work with the Indigenous population in Brazil for many decades.
4) Warning: I write educational threads in part to explain Latin America to non-Latin Americans. Don't dare attack the Catholic Church based on your "gringo" ignorance.

Learn to learn before your share.
5) Brazilian atheists, like myself, are different from other atheists (that's part of the educational content of this thread). We live in a beautifully synchretic society where it is possible to be a little of everything but above all, enjoy the richness of the "other"s views.
6) We owe many lives to folks like D. Paulo Evaristo Arns and D. Helder Camara who offered sanctuary to anti-fascist activists. We love them. Don't touch that.
