Sociedade Brasileira de Defesa da Tradição, Família e Propriedade

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sociedade Brasileira de Defesa da Tradição, Família e Propriedade ( TFP ) (German: Brazilian Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Private Property ) is a Brazilian conservative organization with a Catholic character. Such organizations with corresponding names and goals have also been established in other countries.

history

The TFP was founded by the publicist Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira together with Archbishop Geraldo de Proença Sigaud u. a. founded in 1960. Correa de Oliveira and Archbishop Sigaud, together with Bishop Antônio de Castro Mayer and the economist Luiz Mendonça de Freitas wrote the book Reforma Agrária: Questão de Consciência (German: Land reform: A question of conscience) in 1960 . This book took a stand against the land reform that was being debated in Brazil at the time and argued on the basis of the social doctrine of the Catholic Church of Pope Gregory XVI. until John XXIII. The TFP distributed the book and participated in national debates on the subject. Thus, the TFP belonged to the conservative wing of the deeply divided and politicized Brazilian Catholicism of the 1960s. The discussion about the land reform remained the main topic of the TFP for decades. Various books have been published on this subject. The TFP also took a stand against liberation theology through several publications , for example through the books Tribalismo Indígena, ideal comuno-missionário para o Brasil no século XXI. (1977) and As CEBs: Das quais muito se fala, pouco se conhece (1982) . After the instruction on some aspects of the “Theology of Liberation” of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on September 14, 1984, the dispute subsided, although land reform remained on the political agenda. In 1990 the then existing TFPs collected the record number of 5,218,520 signatures worldwide, which supported Lithuania's aspirations for independence . After the death of Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira in 1995, there was a split. Since then, the Brazilian TFP has been separated from the TFP groups in other countries and is largely inactive.

Other countries

Outside of Brazil, organizations of the same name were founded, some with significantly different focuses of activity. Today, the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property is particularly active. Associations with corresponding names exist in Germany and since 1999 in Austria. Since the split, these associations have not worked with the Sociedade Brasileira de Defesa da Tradição, Família e Propriedade , but with the “Fundadores” ( Portuguese for founders ) in Brazil.

For Germany, two people in connection with the Society for the Protection of Tradition, Family and Private Property (TFP) should be mentioned: Mathias von Gersdorff , a long-time TFP fighter and first chairman of the German TFP section, who attacked the youth magazine Bravo , and Paul from Oldenburg . He represents a number of organizations related to the TFP in Brussels. She advocates a return to the “Catholic hierarchy”. She campaigns against the “ideology of equality”, be it the equality of employers and workers, manual and mental work, that of women and men, of homosexuality and heterosexuality.
