description July 1, 1957, the murder of the Bishop of Garanhuns (Pernambuco) by one of his priests acts as a dramatic revealing of Church realities of the Brazilian Northeast, five years before Vatican II. This “sacrilegious crime that shocked the world” according to a local daily also expresses the gap between the ultramontane culture of a conscious bishop concerned by reform and that of the clergy’s accommodating Catholicism, very reluctant to go under the yoke of standardization as advocated by Rome.
