Even This Has Happened – Folha de S. Paulo, February 27, 1985
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira At the old Law School on São Francisco Square, where I graduated, it was fashionable for professors to describe themselves as eclectic.

Hopes for the Papal Visit – Folha de S. Paulo, January 21, 1985
I eagerly anticipate His Holiness John Paul II’s visit, which will start in Caracas on the 26th. Certainly, the fate of these nations and all of Latin America is currently in the hands of the Pontiff.

The Fire Hose, a Wish, and Duty – Folha de S. Paulo, December 10, 1984
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira DIVERSE circumstances have thus far prevented me from writing about the Instruction on Certain Aspects of the “Theology of Liberation,” by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

Brazil Is Not a Fiction – Folha de S. Paulo, November 13, 1984
To win, candidates must not try to craft their election campaigns around the fictional image of a socialist-communist Brazilian public. Instead, they should speak with a clear, honest, and courageous voice, using language that appeals to centrists and even to reactionary sectors of the public. Polls will then show that the candidate who genuinely connects with the real Brazil will come out ahead, not the one who panders to an unreal, fictional Brazil—a paradise for communists and their ideological allies.

Irreducibility and cunning – Folha de S. Paulo, July 9, 1984
Alessandro Natta, the secretary General of the Italian Communist Party affirmed, in an interview requested by Vatican Radio, that he did not see the Catholic Faith as an “obstacle,” but on the contrary, a “possible point of support” for the “perspectives” that, in his judgment, the Italian Communist Party (PCI) and the Catholic Church have in common.
