the Catholic Church says about Prof. Plinio and TFP?

I found this, but I don't know the standing of the source.

TFP] upholds the need to recover the values of the privileged classes, of the families of high lineage, families of good origin, due to their titles and their traditions."  

(Cardinal Bernardino Echevarria Ruiz in Cristianità, January 1996, p. 17

About Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira


A Man of Faith, Thought, and Action


LETTER A- A+




Catholic thinker, writer, university professor, journalist and lecturer – all of these describe the life of Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira. However, such a description is somehow incomplete.

Indeed, he is a man who must be seen in light of the times in which he lived. Born in São Paulo, Brazil in 1908, the founder of the TFPs is a figure that stands tall in a tempestuous century where he emerged as a man of faith, thought and action.

If he is to be defined at all, Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira must first be understood as one who valued his Catholic Faith above all else. The Faith marked his entire life. He turned his back on a promising political career, and put himself at the service of the Church.

This central focus began from his infancy when his mother, Lucilia Corrêa de Oliveira, imparted to him a love of Catholic Church. That early formation and later his Jesuit education was the foundation of a life of zealous Catholic action.

In 1928 he joined the Marian Congregations of São Paulo and soon became a principal leader and orator. In 1933 he helped organize the Catholic Electoral League and was elected to the nation’s Constitutional Convention. As the youngest congressman in Brazil´s history, he garnered the largest number of votes and served as a distinguished leader of the Catholic bloc.

The rest of his life is a long list of service for the Catholic cause. He assumed the chair of Modern and Contemporary History at the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo. He was also the first president of the São Paulo Archdiocesan Board of Catholic Action.

From 1935 to 1947 he served as director of the Catholic weekly Legionário, which attained prominence in the Brazilian Catholic press under his tutelage especially for its opposition to nαzιsm. In 1951 he began his direction of the monthly paper Catolicismo. From 1968 to 1990 he wrote a column for the Folha de São Paulo, the city’s largest daily newspaper.

However,Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira was more than just a man of faith and action. His profound analysis of history and world events gave rise to a pole of Catholic thought that opposed communism and Catholic leftism as it rocked Latin America and the world.

 An avowed Thomist, he was the author of 15 books and over 2,500 in-depth essays and articles. His works include: In Defense of Catholic Action, Revolution and Counter-Revolution, The Church and the Communist State: The Impossible Coexistence, Nobility and Analogous Traditional Elites in the Allocutions of Pius XII and many others (See Philosophical Self-Portrait ).

Finally, Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira was truly a crusader of the twentieth century, a man who was the very embodiment of his thought. To put his ideas into action, he founded the Brazilian Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) in 1960 and served as president of its national council until his death in 1995. His penetrating treatise Revolution and Counter-Revolution inspired the founding of autonomous TFPs and TFP Bureaus worldwide.

As a civic organization of Catholic inspiration, the TFP served as a platform for carrying out this crusade. Whether in public campaigns, newspaper advertisements or book publications, Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira carried out peaceful and legal actions that addressed the burning issues of the day. Scholars reviewing his role in events testify as to his efficacious action.

None of his works would be possible without an intense interior life. What impressed those who know Prof. Plinio Correa de Oliveira was his profound confidence in the Blessed Virgin who was the source of his courage and allowed him to carry on the struggle for Christian Civilization with the absolute certainty of the final victory of good over evil. He was the twentieth century crusader who firmly believed in the words of Our Lady at Fatima: Finally My Immaculate Heart will triumph!

A number of years back, Bishop Castro de Mayer wrote a booklet stating his displeasure with the organization



From a letter published in the Campos daily, La Folha de Manhà in 1991. The original text is dated 1984, two years after Bishop de Castro Mayer's break with TFP.

Quote
Dear XXXXX,
I owe a response to your grieving letter of September 24, which, as the postmark indicates, you sent me on September 25.

In this case, I can only offer the sole advice: pray, pray much, above all the Rosary or at least the five decades of the Rosary, asking the Virgin Mother, Mediatrix of all graces, to enlighten your son and make him see that TFP is an heretical sect because, in fact, although they do not say or write it, TFP lives and behaves in accord with a principle which fundamentally undermines the truth of Christianity, that is, of the Catholic Church.

Who are the Heralds of the Gospel?

 
Heralds of the Gospel was founded by Plinio slave, João Clá Dias Scognamiglio after the death of the cult leader.

The following declaration was registered at the Public Archives (August 24, 1984) and published on March 14 1985 in the newspaper La Folha de Manha.


Quote

I, the undersigned, Filipe de Freitas Guimarães Ablas, RG (General Registry) 3706587, SP, marital status - unmarried, living in Curitiba (Brazil), Manoel C. so Ribas, No 418, swear to be true that when I belonged to the TFP, Brazilian Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property, in 1967 I entered into a secret society of that association, known as "Sacred Slavery" [Sempre Viva], also known by its members as "Still Living".

The members of this secret society have made a consecration of themselves as slaves of Dr Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira in the same sense in which St. Louis de Montfort Grignion recommended it be done for the Madonna. For this consecration, as a slave to Dr. Plinio, was used the same text drawn up by St. Louis for the consecration to Our Lady, with some adaptation. We proceeded in this manner because Dr. Plinio was considered to have the same spirit as the Madonna, because his spirit was one with the Wisdom and Immaculate Heart of Mary. The members of that society prayed every day using the following prayer of "Sacred Slavery", composed by Dr. Plinio himself:

"Immaculate Heart of Mary and Wisdom, in the atmosphere of our days when all men are free, are drunk on freedom, I offer myself to you, a slave, to be like the last of the men referred to by My Lord [Plinio]. I offer myself in the atmosphere of these days in which everything speaks of naturalism, so that my life is entirely supernatural.

I am not the one who is alive but it is My Lord [Plinio] that lives in me. From him everything comes to me, his spirit is living in me, and I can imitate in this union of  slavery, everything that he is. In the climate of our days, without greatness, without horizons, given over to optimism and mediocrity, time will bring great events to us, with great horizons, in which I will have to live as a hero of the same magnitude as My Lord [Plinio]. Looking inside myself and seeing a lot of smallness, I know that faith requires me to imitate My Lord [Plinio], and I will make of myself a perfect Apostle of the Last Times, according to the prophetic prayer of St. Louis de Montfort Grignion. In all this I ask My Lord [Plinio] to help my unbelief. "

Prayers were also recited to him [Plinio], as a parody of the Ave Maria, which incorporate the prophecies of St. Louis, St. Elias and himself:

"Hail, Luigi Plinio Elia (official name of Plinio in the Holy Slavery), full of love and hate, the Blessed Virgin is with you. You are blessed among the faithful, and the fruit of your love and your hatred, which is the counterrevolution, is blessed. Oh holy Luigi Plinio Elia, father and admirable leader of counterrevolution and the Kingdom of Mary, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. "

Also recited was the rosary using the adapted 'Ave Maria'. Even the meetings began with the same 'Ave Maria', the official prayer of the Holy Slavery and with the ejaculation: "Hail, Luigi Pliny Elia, father and admirable leader of counterrevolution and the Kingdom of Mary! Hail, Luigi Pliny Elia, the faithful slave, Immaculate Heart of Wisdom and Mary!" There was also a Litany for him, the 'Doctor', and they said that the prayers had been composed by Marcos Ribeiro Dantas (slave Plinio Paul).

In one of these ejaculatory prayers to Dr. Plinio it was prayed: "The forerunner of Elijah, pray for us!"

Dr. Plinio imparted the blessing to his slaves. Sometimes, when they received it, they were stretched out on the floor, face upwards, and then Dr. Plinio laid his right foot on the face and gave his blessing, saying: "Benedictio Matris et Mediatricis descendat super vos et semper maneat ".

The slaves of Dr. Plinio had the habit of confessing to him, confessing their failings and even their sins. After the accusation, if the slave asked for a penance, Dr Plinio had the habit of giving three slaps to the face of the slave. Following this, he would impart the blessing.

The entry into "Sempre Vivente" took place by means of a ceremony that lasted several hours, in Via Alagoas, on the second floor of the house, and sometimes in other places.

Dr. Plinio sat on a small throne with the habit and the mantle of the Third Order. The assistants used a habit without the mantle. The person who was about to be introduced to that company relaxed, as if dead, prostrate upon the ground in front of Dr. Plinio. At this point, from Dr. Plinio, was received the order to stand up to receive a new life and he [Plinio] intoned: "Exsurge." This meant that the person had died and was born a new man, a slave of the prophet, an Apostle of the Last Times.

The person then fulfilled his consecration as a slave and delivered his whole being, material and spiritual, to Dr. Plinio. Symbolic objects were used. Dr. Plinio acquired an absolute right, as with the old slave of the Roman Law, except for the right to life and death. That is why they call it "Dominus Plinius."

The ceremony continued with the feet and hands of the Prophet [Plinio] being kissed by the slave. Then, Dr. Plinio left the throne and there sat his new slave, since he was a new Plinio. Dr. Plinio kissed the feet and hands of his new slave.

So, the effect was of a transforming union that took place between them; one living in the other. The slave was a new Plinio. For this reason was adopted the name of Plinio composed with that of another, of a patron and a title of Our Lady. For example, I chose to become Plinio Bernardo Dimas Longinos of Our Lady, Queen of the Holy Apostles of the Last Times. I was known as Plinio Dimas.

We could not communicate with other members of TFP the existence of "Sacred Slavery," because - of course - of the nature of this secret society.

The twelve first slaves were:

1) Caio Vidigal Xavier da Silveira - Plinio Mário.
2) Eduardo Barros Brotero - Plinio Eduardo.
3) Luiz Nazareno of Assunpção Filho - Plinio Luiz.
4) João Clá Dias Scognamiglio - Plinio Fernando.
5) Humberto Braccesi - Plinio Cirineu.
6) Fernando Siqueira - Plinio Bernardo.
7) Carlos Espírito Hofmeister Poly - Plinio Jose.
 Marcos Ribeiro Dantes - Plinio Paulo.
9) Mário Navarro da Costa - Plinio Elias.
10) Dom Bertrand de Orleans e Bragança - Plinio Miguel.
11) Atila Sinke Guimarães - Plinio Márcio.
12) Becca Cosme Varella Hijo - Plinio Lázaro.

Over time other people entered the "Still Living". They are:

13) Plinio Vidigal Xavier da Silveira - Plinio Elizeu.
14) Paulo Corrêa de Brito Filho - Plinio Jeremias.
15) Luiz Filipe Ablas - Plinio Dimas.
16) "X" - Plinio Inácio.
17) Dom Luiz de Orleans e Bragança - Plinio da Cruz.
18) Marcelino Antônio Pereira de Almeida - Plinio Francisco.
19) Edson Neves da Silva - Plinio Batista.
20) Fernando Antunes Aldunate - Plinio Longinos.
21) Leo Nino Doscolo Daniele - Plinio Tobias.
22) Fernando Furquin de Almeida Filho - Plinio Amen.
23) Martim Afonso Xavier da Silveira Jr. - Plinio Pedro.
24) Sergio Bidueira - Plinio Hildebrando.
25) Jose Lucio de Araújo Correia - Plinio Ezquiel.
26) Julio Ubeold - Plinio Tomaz.
27) Fernado Teles - Plinio Leofredo.
28) Roberto Guerreiro - Plinio Agostinho.
29) Afonso Becar Verella - Plinio Ambros.
30) Miguel Becar Verella - Plinio Domingos.
31) Carlos Viano - Plinio Godofredo.
32) The Argentine, Escurra - Plinio Leon.
33) Carlos Antunez Aldunate - Plinio Emanuel.
34) Jaime Antunez Aldunate - Plinio Gregório.
35) Gonzalo Larrain - slave Plinio Caetano.
36) Patricio Larrain - Plinio João.
37) Patrício Amunategui - Plinio Santiago.
38) Casté  - Plinio Joaquim.
39) Pedro Paulo Figueiredo - Plinio Jacó.
40) Carlos Alberto Soares Correia - Plinio Athens.
41) Aloisio Torres - Plinio Macabeu.
42) Roberto Esper Kalás - Plinio Bento.
43) Paulo Roberto Rosa - Plinio Tiago.
44) Paulo Cesar Nascimento - Plinio Henoch.
45) Lúcio Montes - Plinio Estevão.
46) "Y" - Plinio Afonso.
47) João Carlos Leal da Costa - Plinio Matatias.
48) Francisco Xavier Tosto - Plinio Isaias.
49) José Antônio Tosto - Plinio Sebastian.
50) "Z" - Plinio Clovis.
51) Guerreiro Dantas - Plinio Davi.
52) Rivoira - Plinio Hermenegildo.
53) Alejandro Bravo - Plinio Samuel.
54) Carlos Ybarguren - Plinio Antonio.
55) Nelsie Fragelli - Plinio Tomé.
56) Fernado Larrain - Plinio ?.

There were others who, at the time, were not received in "Still Life", but were still slaves of Dr. Plinio. For example: Antonio Candido Lara Ducci - slave Ducci and Carlos Eduardo Schafer - slave Schafer.

Speaking of his power and his slaves, Dr. Plinio asked: "What is the power of the pope in comparison to everything?"

It was said amongst the slaves that the "Secret of Mary", of St. Louis de Montfort, is probably the establishment of the "Sacred Slavery" in respect to Dr Plinio.

Dr. Plinio was then designated by the nickname of "Mary", because the slave of Mary was the slave of Plinio.

The slaves used to ask for the granting of petitions, kneeling in front of Dr. Plinio. For example, Cosme Becca Varella Hijo, in his consecration, urged "My Lord" the grace to become a widower.

I would also like to declare that I, myself, was consecrated to the son of Dona Lucilia [mother of Plinio], kneeling on her grave, in the presence of Dr Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira and his personal guards.

Either the man is innocent and should be exonerated or not.  There is always two sides to a situation.  Here is the situation.  Let's do something about it.

I have copied over your post to them so they can answer. Also to the links that they reference.  I would hate to be the cause of this if it is not true.
