This paper recovers the untold story of the Brazilians whose reactions to perceived modernization and secularization helped create today's transnational Christian Right. Catholic traditionalism at and after Vatican II has gained intermittent notoriety in the years since the Council—yet this notoriety has almost always focused around North Atlantic reactionaries. I show that prominent members of Brazil's ecclesial and lay hierarchies worked at the Council to anchor an embryonic, anti-modern Catholic conservatism, rooted in pre-conciliar corporatism and mysticism. They organized the forces of conservatism at Vatican II; generated ideological and logistical groundwork for a global Catholic traditionalist groundswell in the Council's aftermath; and anticipated the cross-denominational linkages of religious and political issues that would come to comprise late-twentieth century neoliberalism and the New Right. Este artigo recupera a história, até agora desconhecida, dos brasileiros cujas reações à modernização e à secularização percebidas contribuíram para a criação da direita cristã transnacional de hoje. O tradicionalismo católico durante e depois do Concílio Vaticano II ganhou notoriedade intermitente desde que a reunião ecumênica tentou introduzir reformas na igreja; mas esta notoriedade quase sempre se enfocou em reacionários do Atlântico Norte. Mostro aqui que membros proeminentes das hierarquias eclesiásticas e leigas no Brasil trabalharam para ancorar, durante o concílio, um conservadorismo embrionário, anti-moderno e enraizado no corporativismo e misticismo pre-conciliares. Estes brasileiros organizaram as forças conservadoras no Concílio; prepararam terrenos ideológicos e logísticos para uma lenta onda de tradicionalismo católico mundial depois do Concílio; e anteciparam os vínculos que uniriam cristãos de várias denominações em prol de causas religiosas e políticas que constituiriam o neoliberalismo e a Nova Direita do final do século XX.

The production of Mendes da Rocha is usually framed within 'critical regionalism' regarding the review of modern architectural canon in the twentieth century. Three aspects of his architecture are discussed here: tradition, technique and heritage. The first aspect sets his work as heir of modern Brazilian architecture concerned by the configuration of the public space. This outlook allows to understand his work under a growing urban concern: architecture as an object, architecture as part of the surroundings and architecture on the territorial scale. The second aspect explores the emphasis given by Mendes to the couple art-technique, developing a poetic based on the reduction of elements and the symbolization of archetypes which finds in reinforced concrete the appropriate lexicon for the new syntax of modernity. The third aspect reflects on the way he addresses his work in built heritage with a 'puritan' aesthetic singularised by subtractive strategies: designing may also imply suppressing the unnecessary.

In this article on reformed theology Anglada deals with the reformed doctrine of the supreme authority of Scripture. Assuming a theological, ecclesiastical and liturgical crisis in modern evangelicalism, particularly in Brazil, he summarizes the biblical basis of the doctrine, and alerts against the old and new tendencies of usurping or limiting the authority of God's Word. Among the usurping tendencies against the authority of Scripture, he includes the ecclesiastical traditions degenerated into traditionalism, emotions degenerated into emotionalism, and reason degenerated into rationalism. Among the limiting tendencies he mentions the liberal negation of the very foundation of Biblical authority, the neo-orthodox confusion concerning the certainty of the authority of Scripture, and the neo-evangelical limitation of the scope of its authority. He concludes the article by calling attention to the importance of the doctrine in the sixteenth-century Reformation and by suggesting that if the modern evangelical faith and ecclesiastical practices were subjected to the scrutiny of this doctrine, a considerable number of doctrines and ecclesiastical practices would have to be rejected, and a new reformation would take place.
