“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.

He was not a Catholic, he was a heretic who allowed his small group of followers to teach that his (Oliveira's) mother was a quasi-divine being and that he himself was a divine being (known as "The Axiological Principle").
Oliveira was, putting it mildly, a troubled individual.
But why stop at Oliveira?
There is a guy who lives in his mom's basement in Delia, KS named David Bawden. But he claims that he is Pope Michael I and that Benedict XVI is an impostor.
Why not cite him as a source, too?
Actually I am interested in why the Catholic Church is both a political system, with its own sovereign state, ambassadors, political leader, etc. and a religious system, with the same leader as its political leader. The only reason I can see is they want both political power and religious power in the world. WHich is exactly what Islam has.
