The climate of fascist expressions that plagues the country and the continent since the manifestations (2013) and the effects of the media-parliamentary-judicial-business coup (2016) finally reaches religious communities. The hate speech is created and disseminated by international entities maintained by millionaire companies and endorsed by the richest and most indebted country. Reactions of government structures, multilateral and global agencies, and pastoral, intellectual, political, and legal world leaders stand in defense of the 'voice of the crying in the wilderness' (Jn 1:23), which requires courage to act and to sustain the gesture.
In this case, it is a pastoral visit and friendship of Pastor Inácio Lemke to former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva - who has received leaders from various religions and is a political prisoner and persecuted - according to the Organization's Human Rights Commissions the American States (OAS) and the United Nations (UN). The other was the participation of Pastor Lusmarina Garcia in the public hearing promoted by the Federal Supreme Court (STF), about the proposal of decriminalization of abortion until the 12th week of gestation, representing the Institute of Studies of Religion (ISER).
The surprise is that the visit of Pastor Lemke to a former president, who has been a friend for 30 years, and who was happy to see him again and also asked for his prayer at the exit, as well as the presentation of Pastor Lusmarina, who presented profound reflection on the drama experienced by women in relation to their own bodies with moral demands and symbolic aggressions, like a plastic figurine in the shape of a fetus on the altar, as if the sacrosanct transvestite speech concealed hatred and contempt for the black women, descended from slavery and the resulting diseases: inequality, humiliation, sadistic pleasure, violence against the most fragile, oblivion and abandonment of the poor, the majority of the population, of this pathologically sick country.
In healthy environments, these pastors would receive solidarity from the community and from the leaders for courage in the defense of the Gospel, in extreme situations, by gestures and words, in the name of a society already tired of the massacring hate speech, returning to the attitude of the flogged slaves in their short life span of about seven years. It seems that we have forgotten that Brazil was the last country to use this degrading exploitation of human labor. And that it ended only 130 years ago. But people who have learned to resist fascism will not submit to it anymore.
Below the manifesto of support and solidarity to Pastor Inácio and Pastor Lusmarina, animating them with the words of Luther:
Theologia crucis dicit id quod res est (The theology of the cross says things as they are).
