Almeida. A recepção tefepista do Concílio Vaticano II (1959-1988).

This paper aims to present and analyze the reception of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) by the Brazilian Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property - TFP, in the person of its founder and leader, Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira. The expectations, actions and conformation of the religious life of the entity are examined with regard to what the Council represented for the life of contemporary Catholicism from documentation that consists of reports of members of the movement, bibliographic production of the entity and others about itself, as well as conferences by TFP founder and leader Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, seeking to identify the ambivalences present in the process of reception of the Second Vatican Council by the organization. With a strong appeal to preserve traditions, the TFP appears as the great vector of anti-modern thought in twentieth-century Brazil as it stands as a front of resistance to the modern world, especially in its relations with the Catholic Church [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
