A comment made by journalist Maria Cristina Fernandes has sparked debate on social media. In a Globonews program, the journalist spoke about the existence of a movement of evangelicals pressuring for a bill (PL) to remove the title of Patroness of Brazil from Our Lady of Aparecida, pointing out the possible political impact of the action. Pressured by Bolsonaro supporters, the broadcaster backed down and apologized for the statement, but the bill mentioned by Maria Cristina did indeed exist. Presented in 2007 and archived in 2008, the bill demanding the revocation of the title of Patroness of Brazil was introduced by deputy and pastor Victório Galli, who was appointed special advisor to the presidency by Jair Bolsonaro. For decades, the figure of Our Lady of Aparecida has suffered attacks in Brazil. One of the most well-known episodes of this phenomenon was the attack on the image of Our Lady of Aparecida, which occurred in 1978. An iconoclastic evangelical invaded the Basilica of Aparecida, removed the image of Our Lady from the niche, and hurled it to the ground, shattering it into more than 200 pieces. The restoration of the piece was done by the Museum of Art of São Paulo (MASP). The attack on Aparecida and the evangelical right's crusade against the Patroness of Brazil are the themes of our article today for @operamundi.
