Church-State Relations in Brazil
BY CHRIS STARR
(SECOND IN A SERIES)
The work toward a common goal for the Church in Brazil and the
military-controlled government has a long way to go, but great strides have been
made according to Cardinal Agnelo Rossi, prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for
the Evangelization of the Peoples.
The changes needed to clarify Church-State problems in Brazil are “taking place,”
Cardinal Rossi said during a press conference held after he met with Brazilian
President Ernesto Geisel, a Protestant.
The Brazilian Bishops’ Conference has consistently criticized violations of human
rights by the Brazilian military government. The bishops of the impoverished
northeast region, led by Archbishop “Dom” Helder of Olinda and Recife, have
scored the unequal distribution of wealth due to the military’s economic policies.
Dom Helder, the subject
of a recent article in TIME
magazine, has been dubbed
“Pastor of the Poor”. He has
been so ignored by the
censored press in Brazil,
TIME reports, that many-
educated Brazilians were
surprised to find him still
alive.
Named Archbishop of
Olinda and Recife in 1964,
Dom Helder has been a leader
in projects to help the poor
of his native country. The
projects include a no-interest
lending institution,
apartments for the poor, and
other social services. In an act
demonstrating his solidarity
with the poor he moved out
of his episcopal place and
now lives in a two-room
apartment adjacent to a local
parish Church.
The actions of Dom
Helder, his fellow bishops and
priests are meeting a need
that has been described by
Father J. Bryan Hehir as the
“threat of Third World
developing nations.”
Father Hehir, head of the
Division of Justice and Peace
of the U.S. Catholic
Conference, has called on
U.S. foreign policy makers to
give equal weight to the
concerns of underdeveloped
nations as well as the
economic and military
powers.
For the United States, he
explained in a recent editorial
for the NEW CATHOLIC
WORLD, this means giving
equal weight to the relations
with the Third World as well
as to our allies.
“The moral imperative to
confront the consequences of
our economic, political,
corporate and military
actions in the Third World,”
Father Hehir said, “can be
met only through and with an
understanding of and interest

Why tie up your money buying when you can rent a fully-equipped cottage like you
want 'at Lake Lanier Islands. These two bedroom, one or two bath cottages are com
plete with a fireplace, sun deck, carpeted bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, and central
air and heat. And — there's also plenty to do at Lake Lanier Islands — golfing, swim
ming, fishing, boating, and relaxing on the white sand beach. Plan to come any weekend
this summer for only 1138 for a 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage sleeping 4. Reserve your
cottage early before everybody else finds that it's easier to rent than buy. (We're only
35 miles north of Atlanta.) For a fantastic weekend, write:
LANIER ISLANDS RENTALS, P.0. Box 1213, Buford, Ga. 30518, OR
CALL (404) 945-8331.
•That's only $11.50 per person per day for o 3 day weekend if 4 people come.
in the fabric of policy as it is
shaped in the strategic and
economic triangles.”
Father Hehir further
observed that if this concern
was not shown a threat would
materialize in the same
manner as happened during
the Arab oil embargo.
Brazil controls more than
half of South America’s land
area and population and
possesses vast untapped
natural resources and an
unlimited supply of cheap
labor. Its role as a rising
contender in world affairs
seems eminent. This “new
nation” continues to emerge
although the gap between the
very rich and the very poor
countries continues to widen
and some of the new capital
investment has eliminated
jobs instead of creating them.
Although no major
breakthroughs in
Church-State relations have
been reported in Brazil, and
allegations of some arbitrary
arrests and torture continue,
the conflict has been toned
down and the military
government has performed
some acts of good will to the
Church. The recent release
and return to France of
French Father Francois
Jentel, who have been
condemned to 10 years
imprisonment for alledged
subversion, was one such act.
The government of
President Geisel has steadily
improved its relations with
the Church. The outspoken
criticism of the government
and harsh repression of lay
leaders, priests and a bishop
had brought Church-State
relations to the point of crisis
during the last months of the
administration of former
president Emilio Garrastazy
Medici, a Catholic. Medici left
office in March after the
military voted President
Geisel a five-year term.

The time is now when the people of DeKalb County can begin making some
changes in the way their government handles their business. With Manuel
Maloof sitting on the County Commission as Commissioner - at - Large, the
public can be asure they have a representative who cares about them.
Inflation is one of the most serious problems that now presses on each in
dividual citizen. Manuel Maloof believes that government should lead the way in
fighting inflation and the skyrocketing cost of living. It is time for the DeKalb
County government to quit spending money unnecessarily, which causes more
inflation. Wasteful projects such as the building of unneeded buildings for more
county offices and more government - such schemes as the study that lets
government tell you where to live in our county - such outrageous practices as
continuing to hire high-priced bureaucrats to serve the self-aggrandizement of
the present county administration - all these must be stopped.
We need to be spending the public's money only for necessary reasons. We
need more policemen to help fight the rising crime rate in our county. We need to
spend some of the money now being spent on bureaucrats to give our policemen,
fir>. nen and the other county employees who work for our benefit every day a
dec 1 standard of living. Our public servants are feeling the pinch of inflation
ji'sf like everybody else. Instead of hiring more bureaucrats, we need to give -
those who truly serve us a justified rate of compensation.
Manuel Maloof knows and cares about the people of DeKalb County. He knows
that reckless spending on the part of government hurts all of us. He is deter
mined to stop the needless throwing away of money.

NOT QUITE
Too Much Success?
Success never has killed anyone but it can
make things difficult at times. This is the
dilemma presently faced by Atlanta’s St.
Vincent de Paul Society. They are on the
verge of being overwhelmed with material
donations according to Joseph Flanagan, the
Executive Secretary of the society in the
Archdiocese of Atlanta.
Since 1965 the society has been in the
thrift shop business in Atlanta. They collect
used clothing, furniture and appliances which
are then sold in the shops. The idea is not to
sell for profit but to provide a service to the
people in the neighborhood. Often articles are
simply given away for nothing.
Things had been growing at a steady pace
for the last nine years; donations were
increasing and the shops were growing. Then
suddenly, as the result of local television
coverage, everybody seemed to know about
the society’s work. Donations of clothing,
furniture and appliances have been pouring
into the Parkway Drive warehouse.
There are presently two thrift shops located
on McLendon Avenue and on Edgewood
Avenue. They can’t begin to handle the
volume. The society is now searching for more
room. They feel that they need at least 1500
square feet of retail space in a needy
neighborhood. In June alone the two stores
made nearly 2000 sales and gave free articles
to benefit 200 people. The Atlanta St.
Vincent de Paul Society is involved in
numerous other charitable works, but it is the
thrift shop program which presents the
greatest challenge at the moment in
Flanagan’s opinion.
