David Ágape wrote that, weeks before the first round of the elections, More in Common Brasil and researchers from UFRJ downloaded and politically categorized about 7,500 broadcasts of masses and services, totaling nearly 14,000 hours of audio. According to him, the church channels were monitored for two months in search of political and electoral references. Ágape stated that the NGO claimed to have used its own resources, but documents indicated that Luminate, an organization funded by Pierre Omidyar, had allocated around R$ 1.3 million to set up the Brazilian operation. He also mentioned Open Society, founded by George Soros, as a supporter of another research project by the branch. According to the author, the cost of monitoring and the source of the resources had not been detailed, and those responsible for the organization did not respond to some questions. https://t.co/MzuOako95t #Eleições2023 #Transparência #Religião (translated)

Jesús Fernández-Villaverde argued that the average voter would never support a party that aimed to fix Spain, no matter how attractive, eloquent, virtuous, intelligent, skilled in negotiation, brave, prudent, persuasive, shrewd, strategic, tenacious, pragmatic, diplomatic, integral, cultured, and aware of its limits their candidate was. To illustrate these qualities, he mentioned Cary Grant, Lincoln, De Gaulle, Churchill, Adenauer, Leonidas, Marcus Aurelius, Cicero, Talleyrand, Caesar, Shackleton, Bismarck, Metternich, Thomas More, Goethe, and Socrates. He added that, in his opinion, fixing Spain would require telling voters that many problems would not be solved by demanding more from others, but by each giving up something. He also stated that he was beyond remedy. #España #Política #Voto (translated)

Jeje questioned why the Electoral Public Ministry had not yet requested the annulment of Flávio Bolsonaro's slate. He stated that the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) had a consolidated understanding that the use of churches and religious leaders to promote candidacies could constitute an abuse of power and lead to the annulment of the registration and the ineligibility of those involved. He cited a decision from the TSE as an example, according to which statements made from the pulpit during public worship and in front of a large audience indicated that the structure and religious authority had been used to promote candidacies, and not only for spiritual purposes (TSE. Rel. Min. Antônio Carlos Ferreira. AREspe 0600354-26.2024.6.26.0220). He also mentioned Article 24, Item VIII, of the Electoral Code, which prohibited parties and candidates from receiving donations, including through advertising, from charitable and religious entities. #Eleições2024 #JustiçaEleitoral #AbusoDePoder (translated)

🙏🏽 RESPECT OUR FAITHS! After the decision by Minister Flávio Dino, the Federal Police will investigate the wave of attacks on religious images and places of worship of the Catholic faith and religions of African origins. I celebrate this decision. Since the beginning of my political life, I have dedicated myself to valuing the religious diversity of our country and advocating against religious racism and in defense of the people of terreiro and the freedom of worship of our people, which is now threatened by an unprecedented wave of hatred and discrimination. That is why I have already dedicated R$ 3.5 million in parliamentary amendments for projects to protect our diverse religiosities and ancestries, and I am also the author of the proposal that includes spiritual leaders of traditional peoples in the list of religious authorities eligible for retirement through individual contributions to the INSS. Our country is diverse, rich in faith and culture, and cannot be taken over by a radical, hateful, and fundamentalist minority that disrespects the ground it walks on and the living history our people carry forward. #DiversidadeReligiosa #LiberdadeDeCulto #RacismoReligioso (translated)

Trecho do livro na mão do Flávio, escrito pelo bispo de sua igreja, J.B. Carvalho: “O historiador Will Durant descreve que o paganismo vencido procurou sincretizar-se ao cristianismo mediante o culto dos deuses pagãos disfarçados de santos católicos e por meio do pensamento e da filosofia grega. O inimigo inseriu sorrateiramente seu fermento falsificando a mensagem do Evangelho. Nossa versão adulterada tem como carro-chefe o gnosticismo. Essa foi a pior heresia do século primeiro que atormentou a igreja apostólica.” #livros #história #religião

🚨 Pastor de Flávio Bolsonaro diz: “Deus odeia o culto à Rainha dos Céus”, em crítica a Maria. Importante lembrar que Flávio declarou que “se for presidente, um dos meus primeiros atos será decretar que o Brasil é do Senhor Jesus Cristo”, afastando qualquer alusão à crença católica que vê a Rainha dos Céus como intercessora, o que motivou reações de fiéis do catolicismo nas redes.
