What Draws Olavo de Carvalho to the United States?
Anti-Marxist and Anti-Protestant Esoteric Confusion in a Brazilian “Conservative” Immigrant Unsatisfied in the Largest Protestant Nation in the World
By Julio
Severo
“Protestantism
was born from hatred and blood thirst. Its Christian inspiration is ZERO,” said
last month Olavo de Carvalho, a Brazilian philosopher who became known in the
1980s for having founded in Brazil the first school of astrologers.

In 2016,
Carvalho said,
“Luther and
Calvin were hatred-filled souls. The former was guilty of genocide, the latter
the creator of totalitarian government. Their followers are on the way of Hell,
and if it is necessary to revile them using all the curse words to take them
from this mess, I will do it pitilessly.”
Carvalho, a Brazilian “Catholic” Immigrant Unsatisfied in a Most Protestant Nation
What will Carvalho do? Will he
revile U.S. presidents who mentioned positively Protestantism? In fact, upon
signing the Declaration of Independence, Samuel Adams stated: “This day, I
trust, the reign of political Protestantism will commence.” The 56 signers were
mostly Protestant.
According to New York University
Professor Emeritus Patricia Bonomi: “The colonists were about 98 percent
Protestant.”

Addressing
directly the U.S., Carvalho said,
“One of the
favorite myths of the American culture is that the Protestant Reformation was
one of the main sources of religious freedom, individual rights and protections
against abuses from a central government. Add to it the Weberian (or
semi-Weberian) false belief that the ‘Protestant ethics’ created capitalism,
and the only possible conclusion is that today’s citizen is indebted to Luther
and Calvin, after all, for virtually all the legal, political and economic
benefits of living in a modern democracy. But all of this is propaganda, not
History.”
Is
such behavior different from communists’ behavior? During the military
administration in Brazil, communists chose exile in capitalist nations,
including the U.S. Eventually they lived in a nation whose capitalist system
they despised and condemned.

If
Carvalho is just drawn by the American capitalism and its affluence, the U.S.
capitalism without its Jewish-Protestant foundation is useless and dangerous.
Protestantism, with its conservative values, is the capitalism’s life.
Carvalho’s Controversial and Foul Comments
Yet,
Carvalho does not make absurd and immoral comments only against Protestantism.
Here is a small sample of his controversial comments (translated for the first
time into English, so forgive me for having to expose his vulgar language) in
his Facebook in Brazil:
“Freedom of opinion
is the last refuge of idiots.”
“I kneel down
before the priest to receive the communion, but if after the Mass I feel necessary
to tell him ‘f**k you,’ I will do it with full tranquility: Look, you fool.
There you were Jesus Christ, but here you are just a little shit.”
“As far as I
know, only Portugal, Spain, Hungry and Poland had brave Christians. The
remaining world has a multitude of faggots.”
“If I had a
cunt, I would sexually blackmail all congressmen and destroy the whole
political class.”
“I repeat: there
was never an entity called ‘the Inquisition’ and much less ‘Holy Inquisition.’”
“Bergoglio
should be kicked out with our feet from Peter’s throne as soon as possible.”
“After someone
is raped, he/she can find some retroactive consolation in the idea that a cock
had always been his/her secret wish.”
“I am not a
right-winger or a left-winger.”
“The Catholic
Church was born offering martyrs, the protestant church was born killing.”
“Herod saved
many souls: he killed little children before they could sin.”
“Do you think
that it is sheer coincidence that the brutal growth of criminality and
especially political corruption have happened at the same time that Liberation
Theology destroyed internally the Catholic Church and makeshift ‘evangelical’
churches, filled of swindling ministers, had a widespread growth?”
“Stupid
evangelicals listen with so much naivety to ministers who are semiliterate,
junkies, thieves and prostitutes that it is the world’s eighth wonder.”
“In the
Hollywood movies, for each three words, two are ‘fuck.’ This is what isolates
and debilitates American conservatives.”
“Lenin knew
that, in politics, he who reviles the most always runs ahead.”
“While I have strength
left, I will systematically profane all rules of good verbal behavior that I
come to know of.”
How can a man with such foul
language have achieved some success among Catholic conservatives in Brazil? I
do not know, just as I do not know how a false messiah deceived U.S.
conservatives. In his book “Bad Moon Rising: How Reverend Moon Created the
Washington Times, Seduced the Religious Right, and Built an American Kingdom”
(PoliPointPress, 2008), author John Gorenfeld tells how powerful U.S.
evangelicals were seduced by the false messiah Moon. Just as Moon used U.S. conservative evangelicals to grow, Carvalho has
used Brazilian Catholics to grow.
The
U.S., which in its foundation had a population 98% Protestant, is the largest
Protestant nation in the world, with a vast historical evangelical influence in
its social, cultural and political customs. But evidently it is not the
evangelical predominance that draws Carvalho to the U.S.
Is Carvalho drawn by Catholicism?
So is
it Catholicism? If it were, he would be in the Vatican, or in Brazil, which is
the largest Catholic nation in the world. Carvalho said, “Have you observed
that only in Catholic nations it was possible to make a serious resistance to
communism?” Even so, he prefers to live as an
immigrant in the largest Protestant nation than living in the largest Catholic
nation.
Euphoric
Brazilian Catholics prefer to look to U.S. white Catholics, who are for them
the true reference, identity and hope of authentic Catholicism and
conservatism. Is this Carvalho’s case? Actually, as reported
by the DailyMail, you should not, in studies on the U.S. Catholicism, take in
consideration white Catholics, because they are “much more intermixed with, and
influenced by, the wider Protestant culture.” This is, the U.S. white Catholics’
conservatism reflects the original U.S. Protestantism!
Moreover,
the DailyMail ascribes the American creative spirit, which is an essential
foundation of the U.S., to the Protestantism in the American culture.
What
would Carvalho call this creativity? A deceiving propaganda? After all, for
centuries Americans actually were the biggest promoters of a propaganda
exposing the Inquisition in its bloody nature. The opposite side of the issue
is that the Vatican, with its vast political, financial and religious power for
centuries, was the biggest promoter of a propaganda of a benevolent and
humanitarian Inquisition. While the Vatican’s propaganda benefited just the
Vatican, the U.S. propaganda benefited Protestants and Jews, who were the
biggest victims of the Inquisition.
Carvalho, the Jews and the Inquisition
Different
from the Vatican, the
U.S. has a long history of friendship and partnership with the Jews.
While the U.S. was one of the first countries to recognize the modern state of
Israel, the Vatican was one of the last ones.
The
Jews never made accusations against the American Protestant propaganda of a
bloody Inquisition, because they knew and know that it is not propaganda. It is
truth. But even today they have many accusations against the Catholic
propaganda of a benevolent and humanitarian Inquisition.
Different
from the Jews, who for centuries accuse and condemn the Inquisition, Carvalho
has for years accused and condemned people who accuse and condemn the
Inquisition, calling the Inquisition a “black legend,” “myth,” “campaign of
slander and defamation” and “fabrication.”
Carvalho: U.S. Evangelicals Are Worse Than Communists
While
addressing the Inquisition in 2016, Carvalho publicly said that people opposing
the Inquisition, whom he called “paladins of faith,” are much worse than
communists. He said,
“I have never
seen a communist, when using the fiercest and most slanderous revolutionary
verbiage, descending the depths of malice and perversity enjoyed, in this
nation, by the paladins of faith.”
Because
Carvalho lives in the U.S., “in this nation” probably means the U.S.
If
anti-Inquisition evangelicals (and also Jews) are worse than communists, what
is Carvalho doing by living as an immigrant in the largest Protestant country
in the world? Why does not he move to the communist Cuba, considering that the
Protestant America is worse?
Carvalho
said,
“Without the
black legend of the Inquisition, the Protestant churches would never have achieved
the success they did. Who does not want to flee from the torturers’ bloody
hands to the arms of Our Lord? Legend is an integral component of the
Protestant prestige and, if the legend falls, the Protestant prestige falls
together.”
What
Carvalho means is that the U.S. would never have achieved the success of
becoming the greatest Protestant power in the world if it were not the
predominant U.S. role in the denunciation against the Inquisition. Carvalho
also said,
“The myth of the
Inquisition was the vastest and lasting campaign of slander and defamation of
all time, until today, with multi-million dollar funding, and it seems that it is
going never to run out. This myth was not concocted by Illuminists and
communists. It was concocted by Protestants, who continue promoting it until
now, and their irradiant center are U.S. churches.”
“Five centuries
of fierce and constant (even today) anti-Catholic lies make Protestants the
ultimate champions of character assassination — much above, in this respect, to
Illuminists and communists.”
This
is one of the most ridiculously pompous conspiracy theories I have heard of. So
Carvalho sees evangelicals generally and U.S. evangelicals particularly as
worse than communists. If it were so, the largest Protestant nation in the world
would be a real Soviet Union. It is not. The largest Protestant nation in the
world is the U.S. and Carvalho loves to live as an immigrant there.
Carvalho
treats U.S. evangelicals as liars who concocted an Inquisition that never
existed, as if multitudes of Jews had never been victims of what Carvalho
insists in calling legend and myth. But what he calls lying propaganda of U.S.
evangelicals against the Inquisition the Jews call truth.
In fact, even the Brazilian history
exposes a brutal and bloody Inquisition against the Jews. Many Brazilian Jews
were tortured and killed by the Inquisition. And the first Jewish colonists in
New York were Brazilian Jews who had fled the Inquisition in Brazil. The first
Jewish cemetery in New York has Brazilian names. Those Brazilian Jews found
refuge and peace among American Protestants! In Brazil, they faced constantly
threats of loot, torture and death. So the Brazilian history itself opposes
Carvalho’s obsession.
Carvalho: To Defend the Inquisition Is Infinitely More Important Than Defeating Communism
His
obsession to sanitize and rehabilitate the Inquisition is so big that in July
2016 he said that “to remove from the popular conscience myths as the
Inquisition” is infinitely more important than removing socialist President
Dilma Rousseff from the Brazilian government. Many Brazilians and Americans
thought that his priority and goal were Rousseff, but he confessed himself that
it is the Inquisition’s rehabilitation. He said,
“Whoever has
studied the Soviet cultural offensive and the posterior Gramscian strategy
understands something that seems still totally ignored by 100 percent of
liberals and conservatives in this nation: to remove from the popular
conscience myths as the ‘Inquisition’… is infinitely more important than
removing socialist President Dilma Rousseff from the Brazilian government.’”
In
the 1980s and 1990s, I was actively involved in the Brazilian pro-life movement
and I had never heard Carvalho’s name. But from 2000 he appeared with a
pro-life, pro-family, pro-homeschooling, anti-vaccine and anti-communist
discourse. This discourse drew pro-family leaders like me. But later, with a
fame already established, he made it clear, according to his words, that to
remove an alleged myth of the Inquisition is infinitely more important than
defeating communism.
In
the past, whoever wanted to defeat communism would have to overthrow the Soviet
Union, the most prominent propagandist of communism. Ronald Reagan did it.
Whoever wants to defeat the propaganda against the Inquisition should overthrow
the U.S., the most prominent propagandist for centuries of the Inquisition’s
evils?
Will
it be a task for Carvalho, who sees himself charged with a mission more
important than Reagan’s mission?
The
Inquisition was not the only goal in the U.S. propaganda. The U.S. also was the
biggest propagandist against Soviet Marxism and today (at least its
conservative population) it is the biggest propagandist against abortion.
Before
the U.S. focus on communism as an enemy, the biggest focus of the U.S. society
was the Vatican and its Inquisition. In fact, the Inquisition’s past was what
most made difficult in the U.S.-Vatican relations. It was especially the
Inquisition issue that made the U.S. sever diplomatic relations with the Vatican
in the 1860s, because for the U.S., the Vatican and the Inquisition were one
and the same thing. The U.S. only resumed relations with the Vatican in the
1980s, in the administration of Ronald Reagan, who had as focus the fight
against communism. Communism made the U.S. forget the root of its old hostility
against the Vatican.
What
draws Carvalho to the U.S.? The Jews? No one who does love the Jews advocates
or excuses the Inquisition, which slaughtered thousands of Jews, always looting
their riches.
U.S. Esotericism
What
then draws Carvalho to the U.S.? My suspicion is esotericism. Carvalho has a
deep esoteric history and the U.S., parallel to the Protestant influence, has
also a deep esoteric history.
The
U.S. is not only the largest Protestant nation in the world, but also the most
Masonic nation in the world, according to the book “Christianity and American
Freemasonry,” written by the Catholic author William Whalen and published by
the prominent Catholic publishing house Ignatius Press. Whalen says that most
Freemasons in the world live in the U.S. and that the Masonic influence in the
U.S. society is so widespread that even churches that ban Freemasonry have at
least 90 million Masonic members.
More
revealing still is that author Thomas
Horn claims, in a WND (WorldNetDaily) intervivew, that from its
founding the United States has been manipulated toward one goal: building an
occult society that would one day welcome the spirit and person of the
Antichrist.
Horn
is the author of the book “Apollyon Rising 2012,” which explains that Masons
incorporated in the U.S. republic many esoteric symbols that, more than 200
years ago, already predicted that the U.S. would lead the world in a global new
order. What these “prophecies” most foretold was the U.S. hegemony and
supremacy. Horn points out those “prophecies,” which are present in the U.S.
currency and government symbols, as demonic.
Right
in the beginning of his book, Horn mentions U.S. President George W. Bush, who
in his second inaugural address, January 20, 2005, said, “When our founders
declared a new order of the ages… they were acting on an ancient hope that is
meant to be fulfilled.” Horn says that this “ancient hope” was the Masons’
esoteric “prophecies” made more than 200 about the future U.S. hegemony.
Sadly,
even a conservative evangelical president as Bush accepted the Masonic
“prophecies” about its god, Satan, giving the U.S. the global government
supremacy.
I have
“Apollyon Rising 2012.” By curiosity, I asked Carvalho years ago what he
thought about this book, and his answer was that it was not recommendable for
reading… In contrast, the Islamic sorcerer René Guénon’s books were always
positively recommended by him.
Carvalho, Nancy Pearcey and René Guénon
Why did a detailed evangelical
exposé against the occultist and esoteric premonitions in the U.S. history
leave Carvalho so troubled? Why does he call, in Portuguese, sorcerer Guénon’s
premonitions “magistral,” especially a premonition that the only salvation for
Europe is the Catholic Church?
In
his book “As Garras da Esfinge” (The Sphinx’s Grip, 2017), page 25, Carvalho
confirms this “premonition,” saying:
“The maze of
impossibilities has one exit: Catholicism can only be returned to its original
integrity if it consents to submit itself to Islamic masters’ guidance. Or
this, or the occupation of the West by Muslims.”
Then
he adds, in the same page:
“No one in his
sound mind can deny… that, en passant, Guénon and his disciples have made
several valuable contributions, even to our understanding of Catholicism.”
I do not know if the Islamic
sorcerer Guénon made the alleged “valuable” contributions to Catholicism, but
it is indisputable that Carvalho, who translated into Portuguese one of Guénon’s
books, has fixation on him.
Carvalho
sees the supernatural issues in the metaphysical sense understood by Guénon. In
“As Garras da Esfinge,” page 14, Carvalho says,
“What is
properly metaphysics? I do not use the term as a designation of an academic
discipline, but in the very special and exact sense present in the works of
Guénon and Schuon.”
U.S.
conservative evangelical author Nancy Pearcey identifies
Guénon as a New Age advocate. But Carvalho disagrees. He said, in Portuguese:
“To confound Guénon with New Age is akin to thinking that Karl Marx was the
Beatles.”
With
his potty mouth that antagonizes evangelicals generally (Luther, a genocide,
Calvin, a tyrant), Carvalho said,
“Julio Severo’s
problem is that, besides being a cheater from DNA, he is very unschooled. He
writes brazenly (or in a perverted innocence) on subjects that are unattainably
above not only his ability, but even his imagination. In one example he called
René Guénon an ‘occultist’ and ‘New Age proponent’ (expression he copied from
Nancy Pearcey).”
His
current name-calling is shocking, because for ten years (2003-2013) I had been
an official columnist in his website Mídia Sem Máscara, which had invited me to
be a member of its team of writers, most of whom were then fiscal
conservatives, and they were supportive of some items of the gay agenda, which
is opposed by me. I accepted the invitation and I worked for free for one
decade.
In my capacity as the first
evangelical columnist in Mídia Sem Máscara, I drew many evangelicals, including
from the Evangelical Parliamentary Caucus, where I was very known because of my
book O Movimento Homossexual (The Homosexual Movement), published by the
Brazilian branch of Bethany House Publishers. In the first congress of the
Evangelical Parliamentary Caucus in 2003, I delivered the opening address and
this was one of the reasons for Mídia Sem Máscara to invite me.
Yet, Carvalho’s website was not my
only media platform. I was already a columnist in JesusSite, which was in the
early 2000s the most important evangelical website in Brazil. I was already a
contributor to Pro-Vida-Familia, the largest Catholic pro-life website in
Brazil. And I also contributed to any evangelical and Catholic website that
invited me to write pro-life articles.
With
my long experience (since the 1980s) of pro-life alliance with prominent
Catholic leaders in Brazil, I had thought that with Carvalho, who said that he
was a Catholic, I would have the same good experience I had with Catholic
pro-lifers. For some time, there was tolerance, even though I often made requests
for him to avoid foul language — a bad habit I had never seen in any other
Catholic leader in Brazil. Furthermore, in all my years of pro-life alliance
with Catholics, I had never seen any of them advocating or excusing the
Inquisition.
For over ten years, Carvalho
praised my work. But a mere disagreement between him and me over his advocacy
of the Inquisition’s revisionism in 2013 was enough for him to launch a lasting
and persistent foul-mouthed campaign of character assassination against me.
His
case makes me wonder if it is really worthwhile an alliance between
evangelicals and (esoteric) Catholics, even for the sake of a pro-life cause.
In my 10 years as a columnist in
Mídia Sem Máscara, I did not know that Carvalho had already been sued, by his
former astrology students, for swindling. So his accusation (“cheater”) against
me is akin to Lenin accusing anti-communists from being what he was.
I had never come to understand,
until 2013, the depths of his passion for the Inquisition’s revisionism and involvement
with Guénon’s ideas.
René Guénon (1886-1951) was a Catholic who converted to one of the most occultist and esoteric forms of Islam and he died in the Islamic Egypt. According to Andrew Phillip Smith, in his “A Dictionary of Gnosticism” (Quest Books, Theosophical Publishing House Wheaton, Illinois, 2009), Guénon was a “French metaphysical author and founder of the traditionalist movement. He was involved in the French Gnostic Church and published a journal called Gnosis.” No one else did more to make this king of Gnosticism known in Brazil than Carvalho did. According to Nancy Pearcey, Guénon was a New Age advocate.
Pearcey
has a book titled “Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from its Cultural
Captivity,” published by Crossway Books in 2004. This book has an Appendix
titled “Modern Islam and the New Age Movement,” where Pearcey shows how a blend
of Plato’s ideas and Hinduism and Islam (a genuine New Age salad) is
transforming Catholic intellectuals into heretics. She says:
“During the
Golden Age of Islam in the seventh and eighth centuries, Muhammad's armies
swept out from the Arabian Peninsula, annexing territory from Spain to Persia.
In the process, we might say, they also annexed the works of Plato, Aristotle,
Plotinus, and other Greek thinkers. As a result, the Arab world had a rich
tradition of commentary on the Greek philosophers long before Europe did. In
college history courses, we often learn that the Renaissance was sparked by the
recovery of ancient classical writings. But we rarely learn that it was Muslim
philosophers who had preserved those texts and who reintroduced them to the
West.”
“Neo-Platonism
became a strong influence on Islamic thought. Today several leading Muslim
philosophers have embraced perennial philosophy, with its merging of Western
and Eastern pantheism. In fact, the early proponents of this philosophy, who
were Europeans, all ended up converting to Islam! (Prominent European
proponents of perennial philosophy who converted to Islam include Rene Guenon,
Fritjol Schuon, and Martin Lings. Today the best-known Muslim proponent of
perennial philosophy is Sayyed Hossien Nasr.) To complete the circle, the man
who launched perennial philosophy (a Frenchman named Rene Guenon) believed
there was actually a common core uniting all three: neo-Platonism in the West,
Hinduism in the East, and Islam in the Middle East.”
Carvalho and Islamic Esotericism
Besides
recommending Guénon, Carvalho also recommended esoteric Muslim Seyyed Hossein
Nasr. He said in his personal website,
“Read, for
example, ‘Knowledge and the Sacred’ or ‘Man and Nature’ by Seyyed Hossein Nasr,
who was the minister of culture in Iran in the time of Reza Pahlevi. Books like
these bring back to us, in the reflow of a historic tide launched by a big lie,
truths that were betrayed and forgotten in the process’ beginning. ‘Ex Oriente
lux’: the light coming from East. It should be of little importance that it has
been brought smuggled in the baggage of thieves, genocidal murders and
Stalinists. This is not enough to eclipse it. Today, dependent on it is largely
the reconquest of the Western ideals forsaken by the immanentist culture of the
last two centuries.”
Carvalho
has always felt comfortable with Islamic studies. His personal website also says:
“For a time,
[Olavo de Carvalho] devoted himself to Islamic studies — learned Arabic and
recites the Koran passages — and won an award in Saudi Arabia in 1985 for a
200-page book (unpublished) about Muhammad, wherein he used knowledge of
medieval symbolics to interpret episodes from the life of the prophet. He
practices Christianity, but he says he would be comfortable to profess Islam.
This is because, in his view, Christianity, Islam and Judaism have basically
the same goal. The existence of God is to Olavo the supreme obviousness, the
founding basis of everything.”
In
2016, Carvalho bragged that the only serious effort to understand the communist
strategy in Latin America was the Ibn Khaldun Study Group, in the honor of an
Arab Muslim. This secretive group was created by Carvalho in 2003. Can an
anti-Marxist strategy that at the same time pays homage to Muslims have a
Catholic appearance?
Guénon
is very rarely mentioned in the evangelical literature because the penetration
of this occultist among evangelicals is non-existent. He is unknown. But it
seems that among Catholics the reverse is happening.
Guénon
has been known in Brazil just by evangelicals who follow Carvalho, who is also
influencing them through other esotericists, including Mario Ferreira. Carvalho
said,
“Very good that
people get interested in the writings of the ‘Traditionalist School,’ but
everything René Guénon, Titus Burckhardt and ‘tutti quanti’ wrote about the
symbolism of numbers — the essential language of all esotericism — is just a
kindergarten’s play when compared to what Mário Ferreira dos Santos did in
‘Pitágoras e o Tema do Número’ (Pythagoras and the Subject of Number) and
especially ‘A Sabedoria das Leis Eternas’ (The Wisdom of Eternal Laws) and
additional works of the series ‘Mathesis.’”
“A valuable
document I have in my files (now kept in storage) is Mário Ferreira dos Santos’
horoscope.”
Olavism’s Effects
And
what is the effect of all this esoteric weight on Carvalho’s adherents?
A
Brazilian Catholic priest said recently in his Facebook:
Excerpts from a
text on Olavo de Carvalho by one of his students. This shows very well that the
cult of personality had advanced…
“All these
symbols are valid and true, but the many times we Olavo de Carvalho’s students
employ them only shows how hard is still, how complicated is still, to describe
the greatness of the personality of this man — our literature and our language
have not reached Olavo de Carvalho and, possibly, will delay. This is the
reason I cannot write about Olavo; so, it is better to preserve the unspeakable
experience of the personality of this man than running the risk to achieve a
distorted definition of what we are not still able to describe literally.”
“No one is the
same individual after knowing Olavo de Carvalho, because no one can be the same
when facing a visible, palpable, flesh and blood Reality, which smokes and
swears — a person and not only an abstract concept or a tavern’s bald thinker.”
This is a result of sheer propaganda.
And Carvalho and his team are investing much in more propaganda, and their
latest effort is “The Garden of Afflictions” (whose Portuguese original is
“Jardim das Aflições”), which is not a documentary with a critical vision, but
a propaganda movie about the life of an esoteric leader who transformed his
large experience in esotericism into a political movement. Conveniently, the
movie does not show that Carvalho founded and headed the first organization of
astrology in Brazil and that he founded and headed the first Brazilian school
of astrologers.
Even
though Carvalho does not label himself a messiah, he has received, from his
adherents, the same treatment and money Rev. Moon used to receive from his own
adherents. He is the supreme spiritual leader for them. It is not easy to exit
his movement. An evangelical psychologist said recently in his
Facebook:
“Even today I am
in the process of spiritual recovery, Olavism went so far as to destroy almost
my whole spiritual life and drew away most my old friends. I had become a
religious evangelical and intolerant over minimal dissent. Now I am in the
process of recovery, and God has opened doors in several areas to me after I
left his tenet and intellectual influence on me. It was not easy, but I have
successfully largely extricated me from it. Two incredible things: God only
opened doors for me when I renounced Olavism. In every minute I hear the voice
of the Holy Spirit speaking kindly to my heart: ‘Make an apology to the people
you disparaged and hurt.’ My friend, the list is huge, but I have already begun
to make apologies.”
“This is what
happens to all people who are influenced and blinded by Olavism; they become
intolerable.”
Esoteric Anti-Marxism: Occultist Traditionalism and Conservatism
Long
before his involvement with anti-Marxist discourse, Carvalho was already
involved with the Traditionalist School, which blends esotericism with
anti-Marxist discourse. The Traditionalist School was founded by Guénon to
promote an esoteric conservatism against Marxism. So it is easy to understand
why Carvalho said to his followers: “Very good that people get interested in
the writings of the ‘Traditionalist School.’” His anti-Marxism is based on this
esoteric school.
Carvalho
is not the only example of an esotericist becoming an anti-Marxist activist.
New Zealander author
Trevor Loudon also is an esotericist and an anti-Marxist activist,
and very anti-Russian, as every neocon is. Esoteric Loudon has praised
Carvalho.
Carvalho is known for a stridently anti-Russian
geopolitical view. In Brazil, his geopolitical view is seen as original. But in
America, any conservative would recognize it as a neocon view. Carvalho is
probably the first Brazilian neocon and Brazilian Catholic conservatives are
having for the first time contact with the U.S. neocon worldview through him. Yet,
if his “philosophical” stridency were reserved only to Russians, he would never
say that U.S. Protestants who oppose the Inquisition are worse than communists.
If an
anti-Marxist discourse were synonymous of conservatism, Hitler, who was an
esoteric Catholic, would have been one of the most prominent conservatives in
the world. In fact, he had an incredible anti-Marxist discourse. Check here: http://bit.ly/1KlZBjp
A Foul-Mouthed Conservatism?
Even
though he feels comfortable with his esoteric history, Carvalho sometimes
demonstrates not to feel comfortable with the label “conservative.” He said,
“So when I am
introduced as a ‘conservative philosopher,’ the only answer coming to my mind
is: ‘Conservative is ‘puta que o pariu’ (an offensive Brazilian expletive which
means “son of a bitch” or “fucking hell,” but the real translation is: “a prostitute
who gave birth”), who preserved you in her belly for nine months instead of
dropping you in the toilet.’”
Carvalho
said to his Brazilian audience in Facebook that the big disadvantage of U.S.
conservatives is that they do not use filthy language. He said,
“In the U.S.
only the Left utters profanity. This is enough to explain why U.S.
conservatives, even when they are the majority, are always disadvantaged.”
Foul language is very natural for
Communists and Satanists, but not for real Christians.
 |
| “After someone is raped, he/she can find some retroactive consolation in the idea that a cock had always been his/her secret wish.” |
What then draws Carvalho to the U.S.?
What
then draws Carvalho to the U.S. is not evangelicals, whose propaganda against
the bloody Inquisition is lying and abominable to him. It is not the Jews, who
always agreed with the propaganda of his U.S. evangelical friends and partners.
And
it is not U.S. Catholics who follow the pope, because Carvalho’s public wish is
to kick out with his own feet Pope Francis from the Vatican.
 |
| “Bergoglio should be kicked out with our feet from Peter’s throne as soon as possible.” |
Esotericism,
including Freemasonry, becomes all in everyone, obtaining any suitable
appearance and mask. In June 2015, Carvalho stated publicly,
“I have not the
least difficulty to think as a communist, a fascist, a militant atheist, a Masonic
Grand-Master, an occultist or anyone else.”
Esotericism
infiltrates, deceives and turns its victims into blind spiritual slaves at its
service. Such is the Masonic reality of the U.S. Such is Carvalho’s esoteric
reality.
Esotericism
deceives and uses deceived individuals to deceive. Carvalho created an esoteric
movement with a conservative appearance.
But
some are seeing the truth. Former Carvalho’s students produced a documentary
titled “Adubando o Jardim das Aflições” containing abundant alleged evidences
of his esotericism. The full documentary in Portuguese (accessible in English
by YouTube’s automatic translation) is in this link: https://youtu.be/_suLdFqZlSI
Sometimes, Carvalho tries to
portray himself as a good sorcerer. In 2016, he said, “My lifetime dream was to
be like the magician Merlin of ‘Excalibur’: a dream for some, a nightmare for
others. It has been fulfilled.” In movies, there is an imaginary distinction
between good and evil witchcraft. There are good and evil sorcerers. Yet, in
real life, there is no such distinction, and the Christian worldview accurately
and realistically sees all witchcraft as intrinsically evil.
A Strident Advocacy of the Inquisition Does Not Make Carvalho a Genuine Catholic
Some
want to see Carvalho as a “Catholic” who, with his propaganda of the
Inquisition’s revisionism, is bringing a Catholic “revival” in Brazil. But a
revival based on the Inquisition’s advocacy? A Catholic pro-life leader
explained to me:
The Inquisition
appeared only in the 1200s. For twelve centuries, the Catholic Church did not
dare to defend the Catholic Faith through forceful ways. In 385, when Emperor
Maximo condemned heretic Priscillian to death, Saint Ambrose, bishop of Milan,
by the general agreement of almost all bishops of his time, condemned capital
punishment as contrary to the Gospel’s gentleness. In 866, Pope Nicholas I,
consulted by the King of Bulgaria on if the king could use force to convert the
heathen in his kingdom, answered that “God loves spontaneous homage, because if
he wished to use force, no one could resist his omnipotence.”
It is from the
coexistence with Muslims that the idea appears of a coercive tribunal of
inquisition, which condemns unrepentant heretics to be burned and tarnishes the
Catholic Church’s history with a shameful stain. It is from Muslims that
Catholics also learned the idea of “holy war.”
The Catholic
Church, through official statements from the last popes, has already recognized
that the Inquisition was “inconsistent with the Gospel’s gentleness” (to quote
Saint Ambrose’s words). Carvalho’s advocacy of the Inquisition, in my humble
view, intends to kill two birds with one stone:
1) To get
right-wing Catholics accustomed to a kind of bloody and violent religiosity,
more proper to Mohammad’s adherents than to Christ’s followers (it is enough to
observe how Carvalho’s adherents behave belligerently, especially against those
who dare to contest their master, just as Muslims do when defending their
masters).
2) Just as in
the case of a supposed excommunication of communists, the Inquisition’s
advocacy demoralizes the Catholic hierarchy’s spiritual authority, which is
portrayed by Carvalho as an irrational institution that makes apology for
things it made and that, moreover, for something righteous, beautiful and good.
When I denounce
Carvalho in the Catholic Church, most answer me that he “converts” many people
to Catholicism. I stress that it is a very odd Catholicism, at best, because no
one can be a Catholic without hierarchy.
Catholic Cuba Was More Oppressed Than Communist Cuba
The
advocacy of a pro-Inquisition Catholicism does not seem that it will produce
better results than Marxism. It is enough to look at Cuba’s example. In just
two years, between 1896 and 1897, the government
of Spain detained over a third of Cuba’s population in concentration
camps. Over 225,000 died from starvation, exposure and yellow fever. This
radical Spain, formerly an absolute champion of the Catholic Inquisition, was
predominantly Catholic. Hardly you can say that the Catholic Spanish rule in
Cuba was better than Fidel Castro’s communism.
Catholic
Cuba was saved from the cruel Catholic Spain champion of the Inquisition by the
U.S., which in that time had a population with an overwhelmingly Protestant
majority, accused by Carvalho of propagandists of a myth and legend of the
Catholic Inquisition, as if the bloody Spain had not any willingness to use the
Inquisition as a killing machine and as if the Catholic Spain were unable to
commit mass murders.
We
should pray very much for the U.S., chosen by “illuminated” esoteric spirits to
lead the hegemonic world government, highly exemplified by the United Nations,
whose headquarters is in the U.S. and whose foundation happened thanks to
ancient Masonic “prophecies” and to the ambitious U.S. globalist project of
Masonic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
And
we Brazilians should pray very much for Carvalho, who even though labeling
himself a Catholic, has much affinity with those deceiving spirits and their
false wisdom. He is a passionate advocate of the neocon and Masonic nature of
the U.S., but he is a major hater of the U.S. Protestant history.
