1909, January 12.
The Kingdom of Brazil officially announced the implementation of a policy of religious freedom and abolished the absolute religious status of Catholicism.
at the same time.
Most of the Catholic Church in Brazil announced that they had completed the reform, were independent and separated from the Roman Catholic Church. With King Pedro III of Brazil as the leader, they called the Holy Catholic Church, or the Anglican Church of Brazil for short.
The Brazilian Episcopal Church also announced the canonization of five people.

Merits: Excellent reforming priest, loyal monarchist, friend of farmers, persuader of the Brazilian people, and unyielding rebel.
These five "saints" conferred by the Brazilian Anglican Church are all famous monarchists who reformed religion and restricted the power of Catholicism.
Tang Ning not only wants to drag Brazilian Christianity away from Catholic influence, but also wants to stamp out Roman Catholicism.
The Roman Catholic Church in this era, much like today, is the public enemy of progressive forces and the target of many crimes.
France, which has a reputation for being a filial son of God and for its progressive democratic reforms, in 1904 abolished the status of Catholicism as the state religion, dealing a severe blow to Roman Catholicism.
Although France has always been a Catholic country, it has been attacking Catholicism since the Middle Ages, controlling domestic religion and manipulating the Pope.
After the Great Revolution, France became even more emboldened, directly controlling domestic religion, breaking away from the control of Roman Catholicism, and criticizing Roman Catholicism and the Pope.
In this era, whether it is the Communist Party seeking growth, the progressive capitalist class, or the national elements, all regard the Catholic Church as an obstacle to the country.
When Italy was unified, Roman Catholic power declined greatly.
Pope, how many divisions does he have?
In fact, the roots have long been established. France and Italy are both leaders in manipulating the pope.
Tang Ning's attack on the Catholic Church in Brazil had actually been planned for a long time, and she had been making arrangements for it in the past few months since the restoration of the country.
There is no shortage of progressive Christian forces in Brazil. The previous kings of Brazil have always restricted and controlled Catholicism and reformed religions.
Unfortunately, the Caudillos, led by planters, military leaders, and churches, overthrew the Kingdom of Brazil.
However, even after the kingdom fell, resistance forces such as Canudus continued to attack the Republic.
Now that Tangning has regained power in the Kingdom of Brazil, the liquidation of the Caudillos has been put on the agenda.
First, they reorganized and controlled the army, then they targeted large farm planters, and the last step was to target the church.
Caudillo has always been a hindrance to the development of Latin American countries, and it still exists even in the 21st century.
What is Caudillo?
The original meaning of this word is leader, leader. Caudillo is Caudilloism, Caudillo system.
Caudillo is a unique localized dictatorship system of Latin America's trinity of warlords, big landowners and churches.
Caudillo relied economically on large estates and large estate owners, and politically relied on military dictatorship to maintain his political rule. It relied on foreign powers externally and brutally suppressed people's resistance internally.
Of the three pillars of Caudillo, the most difficult ones to deal with are the warlords and big landowners, and the church is dependent on them.
Tang Ning can regain the Kingdom of Brazil.
The military, especially the navy, was infiltrated from the start.
Although there are bastards in the military, there are also many people who are determined to change the country. In this regard, the navy is the most obvious progressive force.
After the establishment of the Brazilian Republic, the big landowners restricted the army, wooed and suppressed military leaders, and determined the base. The number of troops was limited to less than 30,000, which was undoubtedly beneficial to Tang Ning.
Military leader, the Republican government actually solved it for him.
As leaders of the republican government, planters and large landowners are also very easy to deal with.
In order to subvert the Kingdom of Brazil, the Caudillos turned their backs on the glorious slogans and ideal goals they once promoted to the people after coming to power.
Not only did they not admit their debt, they also took back the rights they had lost in the Kingdom of Brazil and intensified their oppression of the Brazilian people.
Before the fall of the Kingdom of Brazil, the slaves were liberated. Of course, the big landowners did not dare to blatantly restore it, but they had the means to recast it.
Indentured serfdom, such a thing, has been used.
The big landowners, Caudillo, use the republic they control to oppress the people in front of the state machine.
Factories were closed, and urban residents lost a large number of jobs, but the peasants were even worse. The peasants had no resistance at all. They soon lost the land they had obtained during the kingdom, and a wave of bankruptcies appeared, causing countless refugees.
The Brazilian people who reacted certainly knew how to resist, but Pedro II had long been exhausted from governing Brazil.
In addition, when Caudillo overthrew the Kingdom of Brazil, the people did not support him and even turned against him, which directly caused him to lose hope in this country, completely abandon Brazil, and live in Europe.
Without a unified leader, all resistance was quickly suppressed, and the monarchy's supporters were crushed and defeated.
In fact, Caudillo had long been unpopular with the people, which is why Tang Ning's restoration of the country went so smoothly. After the restoration, his attack on the big farm landowners was also warmly welcomed.
Caudillo resisted during this process, but in front of Tangning, the suppression of these landowners who did not have a large elite army should not be too simple.
As the three pillars of Caudillo, the church also occupies a large amount of land, but they are very good at being outsiders and have long chosen to lead the king.
After Tang Ning returned to the country, he only established a hollow religious bureau and then ignored it, because at that time, the key was to liquidate the big landowners.
With Tang Ning's efforts, agricultural reform was successfully promoted. Soon, he targeted religion and the Roman Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church in Brazil is a filthy place where good people are in the minority.
**, who violated nuns, deceived and abused believers, was even more abominable than the later French Catholic priests!
The French priests abused 220,000 boys. This is still the 21st century world. In this era where information is not flowing smoothly, the Brazilian priests will only become more filthy.
Tang Ning, who directly exposed these church practices, pushed up his own religious power and turned most Catholics into Anglicans.
Henry VIII of England, who established Catholicism and reformed it into a new sect, was a ready-made template.
Tangning directly learned from it and used the religious progressive forces he controlled to directly control the Brazilian Church, reform and absorb them, and establish the Brazilian Anglican Church.
