There are charismatics there, but a lot of them are part of the Catholic charismatic movement, which has really taken hold in Brazil. I read just a couple of days ago that Brazil is actually one of the few places in Latin America where Protestant charismatic groups have made relatively few inroads.

I don’t particularly like or feel comfortable with Catholic charismatics. But most of them are very orthodox, and Latin Americans seem particularly attracted to this. Brazil is probably the leader, which I would assume is why the Pope is going there. In addition, Brazil has a very active Traditionalist movement...

“I don’t particularly like or feel comfortable with Catholic charismatics.”

But God commands us (not suggests us to) that we love one another as Christians in spite of our differences. To disobey a command is rebellion and sedition.
