As Pope St. Paul VI said, "Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses."

The collapse of Catholicism in Brazil over the last 30 years indicates these calls from the bishops may ring hollow on their home turf.

Ugh. The Church in Brazil is collapsing, and their union with just terrible, backward, corrupt governance (of which Da Silva is a poster child) is undoubtedly a part.

Alas, alas, poor Brazil.
