The Traditional Catholic Revival in Brazil
The February 2020 report from the Cardinal Mindszenty Foundation features an article by a Brazilian journalism student who writes about the Catholic religious revival occurring in his country. Parishes offering the traditional Latin Mass in Brazil have risen from 13 in 1990 to at least 133 today.
there is a widespread turn toward Catholic doctrinal orthodoxy, the sanctity of life and religious vocations. Many Brazilians congregate in churches that celebrate the Mass in accordance with the Tridentine rite, also called the traditional Latin Mass. These people are in the forefront of a silent counterrevolution taking place all over the country, especially among the young. They are mostly men and women in their twenties or thirties, whose older family members are mostly in-nameonly Catholics or former Catholics who have joined the ranks of Protestant sects, paganism or religious indifference.
