Really?

Revolution And Counterrevolution was written by Plinio Correa de Oliveira - a Brazilian professor who had no authority in the Catholic Church and whose teachings are widely regarded as heretical.

He does not speak for the Church - anyone who knows what the Catholic Church is, knows that the Pope and the bishops (as a group) speak for the Church.

Not even individual bishops have authority to speak for the Church, let alone random laymen like Oliveira.

Don’t stop him with facts, he’s on a roll.
Bigotry and hatred against Catholics, it’s been missing from FR for a day or two. It was due.

Just watch the flies gather for the poop. A few have arrived already.

“He [Plinio Correa de Oliveira] does not speak for the Church ...”

The there is nothing in the article that says he does; but, he certainly speaks for himself as a Catholic, and for all those Catholics who agree with him.

Heretical? How? I saw your later post about the misguided litany that young members of the Brazilian TFP made, which was suppressed after controversy. I have never seen anything about Oliviera referring to himself as an "Axiological Principle" and you'd think notables such as Cardinal Stickler and Father Trigilio wouldn't affiliate themselves with him and/or the organizations inspired by him.
