January 12, 1909.
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 Catholics 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.
The first saint - José Francisco Antonio Inacio Norberto Agostinho
This saint was José I, the King of Portugal and Algarve, Prince of Brazil, and "Reformer" of the Braganza Dynasty, who reigned from 1750 to 1777.

The second saint - Sebastian José de Carvalho Melo
This saint is the Prime Minister and "Counselor" of José I, the Marquis of Pombal of Portugal.

The fifth saint-Antonio Vicente Mendes Maciel Conselero
This saint is the "persuader" of the Brazilian people, the leader of the Canudos Society, and a loyal supporter of the monarch. After the fall of the Kingdom of Brazil, he oppressed the people and predicted that a wise monarch would come and bring all the suffering people to justice.
Believers save the sea of suffering.
Merit: 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 the Catholic power, but also stamps on Roman Catholicism.
The Roman Catholic Church in this era is almost the same now as 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, abolished the status of the Catholic state church in 1904, dealing a severe blow to the Roman Catholic Church.
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 the Roman Catholic Church, and criticizing the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope.
When Italy was unified, the 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 has actually been planned for a long time, and she has 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.
Now that Tang Ning has regained power in the Kingdom of Brazil, the liquidation of the Caudillos has been put on the agenda.
First, the army was reorganized and controlled, then the large farm planters were targeted, and the last step was to target the church.
Caudillo has always been a resistance that limits 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 chief, 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 real estate and large estate owners, and politically relied on military dictatorship to maintain his political rule. Externally, he relied on foreign forces, and internally he brutally suppressed people's resistance.
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.
It infiltrated the military, especially the navy, from the beginning.
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 Brazil, the big landowners restricted the army, recruited and suppressed military leaders, and determined the base. The number of troops was limited to less than 30,000, which was undoubtedly beneficial to Tangning.
In order to overthrow the Kingdom of Brazil, the Caudillos turned against 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 have many means 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, and soon lost the land they had obtained during the kingdom. A wave of bankruptcies occurred, causing countless refugees.
Of course, the Brazilian people who have reacted also know how to resist, but Pedro II has 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 go to live in Europe.
Without a unified leader, all resistance was quickly suppressed, and the monarchy's supporters were crushed and defeated.
In fact, Caudillo has long been unpopular with the people, which is why Tang Ning's return to the country was so smooth. After the restoration, he attacked the big farm landowners and received a warm welcome.
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.
The church, which is the three pillars of Caudillo, also occupies a large amount of land, but they are very good at being a coward and have long chosen to lead the king.
After Tang Ning returned to the country, he only established an empty religious bureau and then ignored it, because at that time, the key was to liquidate the big landlords.
With Tang Ning's efforts, agricultural reform was successfully promoted. Soon, he turned to religion and turned against the Roman Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church in Brazil is a place of filth and evil, and good people are in the minority.
Tang Ning, directly exposed these church practices, pushed up his own religious power, turning 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.
