Brazilian Spiritism innaugurated Conservative Era with its "Gospel's Nation"


"BRAZIL, WORLD'S HEART, GOSPEL'S NATION" AND "BRAZIL ABOVE EVERYTHING, GOD ABOVE EVERYBODY" ARE SIMILAR SLOGANS.

Francisco Candido Xavier (aka Chico Xavier) brought a slogan which say: "Brazil, World's Heart, Gospel's Nation".

It was inspired in previous Leopoldo Machado's slogan diffused at Brazilian Spiritist Federation (FEB) in 1934: Brazil, Cradle of Humanity, Nation of the Gospels.

Four years later, in 1938, Chico Xavier published a nationally boastful book, frivolously attributed to the spirit of brazilian writer Humberto de Campos.

The book, titled Brazil, World's Heart, Gospel's Nation, narrates the History of Brazil according not to alleged benefactor spirits' revelation, but to conventional and mythical scholar books then published.

In August 2017, brazilian spiritist newspaper, Correio Espirita, edited in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro, noticed that the Gospel's Nation was so started.

The period of the edition was understood into the context of the political coup of 2016 and the political rise of Jair Bolsonaro's presidential project.

The Brazilian Spiritist movement flagged to support the conservative manifestations rised into the crisis of Dilma Rousseff's second term's government.

Brazilian spiritists called the "Fora Dilma" marches the "begin of human regeneration launched in Brazil".

Likewise, spiritists considered the irregular judge Sergio Moro, from Opperation Car Wash, currently Jair Bolsonaro's minister of Justice, the "hero illuminated by spiritual benefactors and blessed by God to fight the corruption".

The Correio Espirita newspaper followed itself a very conservative position, supporting the sights mentioned above.

In its June 2016 edition, Correio Espirita defined the youngsters involved at "Fora Dilma" marches with these words:

"The increasing of the youth's active participation into politics would be a great step of Brazil in the path to the Planet of the Regeneration".

Correio Espirita refers to the acting of groups like Movimento Brasil Livre (right-wing organization whose members are Kim Kataguiri, Fernando Holiday and Bonde do Rolê's Pedro D'Eyrot) and Vem Pra Rua (founded by businessman Rogerio Chequer).

Their goals are to undo the progressive achievements of the Brazilian people since the Getulio Vargas' era and, maybe, to undo also the Golden Law's and Independence's legacy.

Although most of brazilian spiritists don't recognize, their religion, through Chico Xavier's legacy, got severely conservative positions, opposite to Allan Kardec's progressist positions.

Chico Xavier is deceptively considered as a progressist and left-wing activist, but he explicitally had ideas which are very conservative and identified to the right-wing movements.

The deceptive image of "left-progresist" is based on superficial appeals associated to poverty, peace and futurism, falsely associated to Chico Xavier's myth.

The facts prove that Chico Xavier's Spiritism flagged to conservative wind, plainly identified to the conservative manifestations in last years.



Chico Xavier as an arrivist like Jair Bolsonaro.

Bolsonaro rised under the plan of a bomb attack in Army quarters in Rio de Janeiro.

Xavier rised under the publishing of fake literature since Parnaso de Alem-Túmulo (Post Grave's Parnassus) book.

Both had similar profiles, they started causing so much confusions and then became popular idols under the tricks of conveniences.

Chico Xavier is considered a brazilian demigod, pretensely a symbol of "charity and dedication to the poor" and associated to love bombing appeals including memes published in social media with his face and quotes inserted to blue skies and flowered gardens.

Bolsonaro is now the Brazil's president, being a extremely conservative leader turned the federal governor since redemocratization in 1985.

By the way, the New Republic, started in the fall of Dictatorship Era and consolidated by the Brazilian Democratic Constitution of 1988.

This Constitution still exists, but it is being desfigured by little, and New Republic passed away in the begin of impeachment process to Dilma Rousseff in 2016.

The announcement of "Gospel's Nation" by Correio Espirita newspaper in August 2017 can't be separated to the conservative social-politic scene ongoing.

It makes part to a conservative content from Brazilian Spiritism that will be revealed, little by little, since Joao de Deus' sexist assaults.

And it will be, surely and inevitably, the now-forgotten conservative side of Chico Xavier's person.

He always was the right-wing stronghold guy, and his conservative ideas, based to defense of "suffering in silence without complain", a Theology of Suffering's principle, will be popularly recognized under an opportunate situation.

The slogans of Chico Xavier and Jair Bolsonaro are incredibly similar.

"Brazil, World's Heart, Gospel's Nation" predicted a teocracy which would reboot the Middle Age's Catholicism and the Roman Empire under the brazilian territory.

The Chico Xavier's slogan is not a dreamful project of a humanist nation with social justice that it's usually thought by most of brazilians.

Brazil would be just a religious empire, but will be a poor country, with most of its companies and treasures sold to foreign businessmen.

And the comprovation is brought by the election victory and innauguration by Jair Bolsonaro's government, at the year of Chico Xavier's "limit date".

So "Brazil, World's Heart, Gospel's Nation" is not a progressist prediction of a humanist-developed coutry.

It's only a sophisticated form to the Bolsonaro's slogan: "Brazil, Above Everything, God Above Everybody". Chico Xavier and Jair Bolsonaro are, in fact, potential soulmates.

As saying in portuguese: "É bom jair se acostumando" ("It's better to bolsonarize yourself", in a free translation).
