The Archbishop of Ho Chi Minh – Folha de S. Paulo, October 9, 1977
Toward communists, collaboration, submission, and dialogue. Toward non-communists, injustice, vituperation, and incendiary fury.
A Political Tidbit – Folha de S. Paulo, September 26, 1977
Some characteristics of a neo-pagan Leviathan democracy.
For a Place in the Sun – Folha de S. Paulo, August 28, 1977
Two essential attributes of the specific dignity of those who write for the public: strong arguments and respectful language.
Bread, Butter, and Honey – Folha de S. Paulo, September 20, 1977
Panama, USA, Cuba
Aspects of the Lefèbvre “Case” – Folha de S. Paulo, August 17, 1977
My consistent stance on civic and religious matters of all kinds, both national and international—many of which have been expressed in articles in Folha de S. Paulo over the last few years—renders my intervention in theological matters inappropriate, as such matters are more suited to a clergyman than to a layman.
34-75-77 – Folha de São Paulo, July 25, 1977
These are three significant dates in the parliamentary history of the indissolubility of marriage in Brazil: 1934, a resounding success; 1975, a defense secured by a feat of bravery; 1977, divorce!
Rome’s Communist Daily Applauds Paul VI – Folha de S. Paulo, July 16, 1977

“No, No, No!” – Folha de S. Paulo, May 28, 1977
Yet any Catechism student knows that, individually, a bishop can fall into heresy and, therefore, be a communist. Moreover, any person moderately informed about Church history knows of numerous cases—I insist: “numerous”—of bishops who have fallen into heresy over the centuries.
