Brazilian priests defend Bishop Adair José Guimarães

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Priests from the Formosa clergy in Goiás issued a statement on October 14 repudiating insults directed at Bishop Adair José Guimarães. The priests, who serve in six municipalities, condemned the attacks as unworthy calumnies and lies.

The backlash follows a video posted on social media by a resident of Posse, Goiás. In the recording, the man calls the bishop a demon and a representative of Satan, while also accusing him of engaging in politics during his preaching.
