TBH, Brazil has way more problems than this, and it's illegitimate judiciary is only one of them.
Same disease, multiple symptoms.
So are they going to arrest Priests or go after churches for having a biblical view of homosexuality?
Yes, they will. The Brazilian Worker's Party really wants to destroy evangelicalism. They also have full support from the liberal Catholic Clergy.
Catholic clergy in favor of homophobia laws? You're talking nonsense.
Clearly you have not been paying attention to the Catholic Church for the past... 20 years, at least.
Yes, I have. I'm a Peruvian Catholic. Latin America is where Catholicism remains the most fervent. The Brazilian clergy isn't going to be making heretical statements on homosexuality. It's not true.
Brazil isn't Germany.
Eastern Europe and Africa.
Brazil was lost a long time ago because of Liberation theology. Most Catholics in Brazil do not go to mass regularly nor follow the moral authority of the church. Brazil has the second worst mass frequency in the world.
Isn't the current Pope sympathetic to homos and trannies in the political sense?
I don't know what that means. The Pope is a religious leader.
That’s why I was surprised because I thought Latin American Catholics still haven’t bent the knee to lgbt stuff like some in other places.
I'm afraid most people either aren't Catholic or don't live the faith. Also, third world countries often are all too eager to adopt whatever is fashionable in the northern hemisphere. So the cancer gets here too.
One of the most influential priests in Brazil, Fr. Julio Lancelotti:

And be sure that many bishops are also supporting this, even if they are not so outspoken.
The situation of the catholic church in Brazil is terrible.
All he's saying is that discrimination against them is wrong, which is in the catechism. That's not the same as approving the homosexual agenda.
he literally said it is a crime. there are videos of him refusing to say that homossexuality i alsos a sin
Being gay itself isn't a sin. Fornication (with the same sex or otherwise) is a sin. Cultivating lustful thoughts is also a sin. The sin of scandal may also be relevant.
2357 - 2359 of the Catholic Catechism:
You didn't comment on the fact that he clearly proclaimed to be in favor of Homophobia laws, something you were denying in your first commentary.
I also appreciate that you showed us the canons of the catechism, but unfortunately, nobody here disagrees with the church's doctrine. Who disagrees with the catechism is Fr Lancelotti. Let's take a look at this specific fragment from the catechism:
Any moral teaching based on orthodoxy must remind lay people that homosexual acts and tendencies are a disorder and must be avoided and suppressed.
Now let's see what Fr Lancelotti has to say:
Is this the teaching of catechism? I don't think so! In my opinion he refuses to proclaim that homosexual acts are in fact a sin.
In fact, he even says that official declarations of the catholic church do not matter, and he even hopes that someday the church will change its doctrine to "accommodate LGBT people entriely".
Anyway, I just picked Fr Lancelotti as an example, because the Brazilian clergy is full of liberal traitors, like Fr Ticão who makes thematic masses dedicated to the "holy herb" Marijuana, or father Jose Pinto who liked to fight racism dancing vodoo songs in the middle of the sunday mass.
Well Catholics are fucktards.
Ohhhh. Earlier I thought it said homosexuality. Well fuck. Can't even have certain opinions anymore I guess. Brazil is gay.
It's pretty gay, ngl.
In a nation filled with so much unchecked crime already, this feels more like virtue signalling to Westerners and elites to give them that money and status for being woke than anything else.
No, Brazil really is that fucking gay. Did you know Brazil has more transexuals per capita than Thailand? Brazil is gay.
What? Do they just have a billion gender clinics over there or something?
Brazil also learning the costs of not crossing the Rubicon.
shit like this is what happens when your elections are stolen
Dishonest media tactic #425: It's 'landmark' when they approve and 'unprecedented' when they don't.
Anyway, this is what happens when communists are in charge.
It is, by nature.
This really isn't going to go like they planned. Knowing Brazilians this really just means "no witnesses".
You just can't let communists steal your elections.
Lots of blasphemy laws this week I guess.
Brazil's Supreme Court has been taken over by Socialists. They're the real government at this point.
Brazil, nooo!
I think every day is a bad day for a shithole as shitty as Brazil. Interesting to see that a country that sucks at everything and has far bigger problems, prioritizes this.
Brazil is resilient.
On the plus side, this might lead to the authorities actually locking up a few favela gangsters, because they certainly weren't using the gun laws, the racketeering laws or the laws on violent crime for that purpose.
what makes you think they would use this law against criminals? its always the peaceful people that they use these types of laws against.
Lula's electoral base is criminals after all.
to be more specific, it's an excuse to destroy religious institutes that they don't like.
If they weren't going to lock 'em up for that, what makes you think they'll lock 'em up for this?
