Three Brazilian bishops-- Bishop Luiz Gonzaga Bergonzini of Guarulhos, Bishop Benedito Beni Dos Santos of Lorena, and Bishop Nelson Westrupp of Santo André-- have received anonymous death threats after urging Catholics not to vote for Dilma Rousseff, the frontrunner in the October 31 presidential election. In 2007, Rousseff called for the legalization of abortion in the world’s largest Catholic nation.

But if we say that there are worrying signs of growing intolerance against the Church worldwide, we're paranoids.

Fabrizio,

Yes, but here's the really disappointing bit:

Quote:
The three are bishops of the conference’s South Region 1, whose prelates have urged Catholics not to vote for Rousseff, prompting a remarkable reaction from the justice and peace commission of the National Conference of Brazilian Bishops (CNBB). “The CNBB does not suggest any candidate, and recalls that the choice is a free and conscious act of each citizen,” the commission stated two weeks ago.

Do I need to repeat what I think of Bishops Conferences and their costly and extremely harmful commissions?

Bureaucracy (not surprisingly) run amok. No surprise really. Catholic bureaucrats are still bureaucrats.
