"the misguided litany that young members of the Brazilian TFP made"

That's a loaded sentence. Far from being "misguided" it was blasphemous and heretical. We know that it is attributed to "young members of the Brazilian TFP" but there is no proof of such an attribution. Moreover, the use of the term "Brazilian TFP" implies that this was small wayward branch of the organization. In reality, the Brazilian TFP was about 90% of the organization at that time. The Brazilian TFP was personally created by Oliveira. Where did these supposed authors of the blasphemous litany get their ideas? In what context did they think this was appropriate to use? In an organization so dedicated to hierarchy and loyalty why are we to believe this was an aberration? Is it possible that these "young members" took a bullet for the real author, their beloved Oliveira?

Nope, that's not what I had in mind. Most people who know he personally started the Brazilian TFP and that it was a big organization.

Now, you're getting conspiracy minded. I felt I had to speak up because I've had dealings with the American TFP for years now, and as much exposure I've had to them, I've never seen anything like what their detractors have accused of them. Yes, they have an unusual apostolate in these modern times, but that's what makes them stand out.
