Msgr. Luciano Brito, Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Olinda and Recife, Brazil, informs on his Instagram account that he travelled to Rome on May 27, 2022. He went to deliver to the Congregation for the Cause of the Saints, in the Vatican, copies of all the writtings of the late Archbishop Helder Camara added to the transcripts of his radio messages in order to be included in process of beatification of the Archbishop of Olinda and Recife.
Helder Camara earned the nickname of the "Red Archbishop" for his known communist ideas. Challenging this famous title, Msgr. Brito ordered the packages of the documents to be wrapped in red plastic, as a way to say: "Yes, he was the Red Archbishop and now he will be a saint."
On the ideas of Camara we transcribe two excerpts of an interview to a Italian journalist in 1970:
Quote:Oriana Fallaci: Let us turn to that nickname of Red Archbishop. What are your political ideas today? Are you a socialist like people say or not?
Helder Camara: It is clear that I am! God created man in his image and likeness because he [man] was His co-creator and not because he was a slave. How can we allow that the majority of men be exploited and live as slave? I don't see any solution in Capitalism. But I do not see [any solution] either in the socialist examples that are offered to us today, because they are based upon dictatorships and you don't reach Socialism through dictatorships. ... My Socialism is special; it is a Socialism that respects the human person and goes back to the Gospel. My Socialism is justice. ...
O. Fallaci: Did you read Marx?
H. Camara: Obviously I did! I do not agree with his conclusions, but I agree with his analysis of the Capitalist Society. Which does not give anyone the right to call me an honorary Marxist. The fact is that Marx should have been interpreted under the light of a reality that changed, that is changing. I always tell the youth that it is a mistake to assimilate Marx literally: he should be used without forgetting that his analysis was made one century ago.
Today, for example, Marx would never say that religion is an alienation or an alienating force. Religion earned this qualification, but it is no longer valid. See what happens with the priests in Latin America and in every other place. Many communists know that. Persons like the French Garaudy knows it (...) they exist and they think, they incarnate what Marx would say in our times.

Second row left, holding a book on the Revolution of Development; center, with Card. Evaristo Arns founder of the Basic Christian Communities and principal force of Liberation Theology in Brazil, he was responsible for the election of Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff as presidents of Brazil; right, with Card. Leo Suenens, important piece of the Conciliar Revolution and founder of the Charismatic Movement.
Fourth row, with the Conciliar Popes; Paul VI used to call Helder Camara "my Red Archbishop." Fifth and sixth rows, some shots of his demagogic gestures that characterized his way of speaking.

If we are Catholics, it is quite difficult to imagine that Archbishop Helder Camara was a saint. But given the general apostasy of the Conciliar Church, it is very likely that we will be another of these fake saints that abound after Vatican II.
May God intervene soon and bring the Chastisement to prepared the ground for the Reign of Mary.
