Forgiveness is not permissiveness

The worst problem of Brazilian Spiritism is that even the authentic followers of Allan Kardec are hostages of the deviators like Francisco Candido Xavier and Divaldo Pereira Franco.

The both, popularly known as Chico Xavier and Divaldo Franco, always were the worst and worrisome deviators of the original spiritist teachings.

Their books, most of them allegedly attributed to dead authors' spirits, brought concepts and thoughts which antagonize severely the original lessons by kardecian literature.

Chico Xavier and Divaldo Franco's books has content that is too next to medieval Catholicism's faith, including old-fashioned moralism.

They made serious damage for breaking the real comprehension to original spiritist ideas, using as the pretext the "salutary appreciation of the religious values of Christianism".

Ridiculous and stupid apologies like "let's listen the voice of our hearts", "the reason ignores the real vision of the heart" are very diffused in its speech.

It was so bad, so injurious, so harmful, but brazilian people accept it so comfortably.

Moreover, it makes an appearance of "love messages", "fraternal advices" and "peace appeals".

But it's so harmful in a very cruel way.

The kardecian literature went ahead to the logical comprehension of the spiritual nature, never under the empire of the faithful and emotional sights.

We say it because the fight of the Spiritist deviation would always fail in Brazil.

The deviation is fought, but the deviators don't. And it's a big mistake and makes Spiritism to be downgrated as a mystical mess.

In the mid 1970s, former Brazilian Spiritist Federation (FEB), Antonio Wantuil de Freitas, who was the Chico Xavier's discoverer and his manager-like guardian, died. It was 1974 and Wantuil was retired four years before.

It resulted to a bigger crisis inside the Brazilian Spiritism movement.

Wantuil's heirs and the star-made "mediums" like Chico Xavier and Divaldo Franco were involved by a serious conflict.

The authentic Allan Kardec's follower, researcher and translator, journalist Jose Herculano Pires (nephew of legendary folk storyteller Cornelio Pires) denunciated the plans to radicalize the deviation of original french Spiritism.

Between the several plans, it included a new deviator translation of Kardec's books, to the level next to Jean-Baptiste Roustaing's The Four Gospels book.

It made a scandal in a backstage of Brazilian Spiritism movement.

In 1969, when Wantuil announced his retirement from FEB, he was denunciated for gaining money by Chico Xavier's books, including the FEB's own translation to english language.

Chico Xavier always known about that and he accepted secretly this agreement, but he smartly reacted declaring to be "so much sad" with it.

The astute Chico Xavier made us to believe that his books rent is focused to "charity" and to "dedication to the poor".

But it doesn't. Brazilian Spiritism has so much darkful aspects that would be so shocking, behind the varnish of "simplicity", "humility" and "love feelings".

The scandal, however, resulted to nothing, when the tendentious agreement made the alleged mediums to be circumstantially by the authentic spiritists side.

The pretext is that the alleged mediums were "overly catholic" and they promised to help to rescue the original postulates of the french Spiritism.

Chico Xavier and Divaldo Franco's promisses to "comprehend Allan Kardec so better" is in vain.

They became so overly catholic as before, sometimes more intensively.

The authentic spiritists accepted Chico and Divaldo, based on the worst idea of forgiving mistakes.

They believed about the pretext that the alleged mediums would only unite the original kardecian lessons with the brazilian concepts of divine faith, christian fraternity and charity works.

It was a biggest hoax and the original Spiritism was never recovered after de deviation.

By the other side, the deviation by Brazilian Spiritism, which reduced the kardecian legacy to a repaginated version of medieval Catholicism that reigned the Brazil's colonial times by jesuit works (including priest Manuel da Nobrega, laterly renamed Emmanuel), got to be so intensive.

Brazilian Spiritism is currently a confuse combo of old-fashioned moralism, esoteric beliefs and catholic-made concepts and rituals, being more mystical than logical.

It includes a lot of dishonest positions, made to forge the false impressions that Kardec's lessons were so "rigorously respected".

Brazilian Spiritism, in this way, became so dishonest, so mystical and so conservative.

Almost nobody in Brazil knows about the nature of seriousness about this deviation. It's horrible.

The major mistake made by authentic followers to Allan Kardec's original legacy is to confuse forgiveness to permissiveness.

To forgive is not the same to say "you made wrong, but you can go ahead with it".

Depending about the case, the forgiveness should result to ban someone to continue to work in an activity that he made disasters.

Forgiveness is a question of not having hate or rage about someone that made something so wrong.

But there's questions about responsibility and to forgive someone doesn't mean that his errors necessarily allowed him to go ahead.

The bad employee can be fired and it's not a question of hate, rage, revenge or lack of mercy.

If someone made something disastrous and wrong, that's right to ban him to continue working it.

It missed to the authentic spiritists to ban Chico Xavier and Divaldo Franco for any appreciation and consideration, however too minimal.

Chico and Divaldo are the "internal enemies" of the original Spiritism, and this confirmation is not a question of hate, rage and lack of mercy.

Their books confirm it, with concepts and beilefs seriously opposites from kardecian's original lessons.

Brazilians must to stop their addicts to religious passions and other fantasies about faith and the apparatus of "beautiful vibrations" and "wonderful words".

Erastus wrote that we must to be severe to fight the Spiritism deviation, including banning the deviators to any kind of appreciation.

We can forgive the alleged mediums, but it doesn't mean to relativize their faults.

If the alleged mediums made serious errors, and they really made it, they must to be banned and rejected by the authentic spiritists, despite the "mediums" apparent appeals to "beauty", "love", "peace" and "fraternity".

We must to be patient. We don't think with heart, we have the brain to make this job. Stop the fantasy, let's face the reality.
