PLINIO CORRÊA DE OLIVEIRA: CHAOS, ANTI-CHRISTIAN STRATEGY
Chaos, as it relates to the new and dangerous strategy of revolutionary
movements which emerged from communism and other anti-Christian movements
with a religious appearance, was the main focus and analysis, in the last
years of his life, of the Catholic thinker and Brazilian man of action,
Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, whose 6th anniversary of his death was
commemorated on the 3rd of October. Chaos, a subject which each time becomes
more apparent, is a key to understanding the profound meaning of tragic acts
such as those which occurred in the United States and acts which might
follow, which are marking this beginning of the third millennium.
Corrêa de Oliveira distinguished himself by his impressive foresight as it
related to the social, political and religious reality of Brazil and of the
world, many of his ideas came to fruition during several decades evidencing
an undeniably prophetic spirit. Since 1928, as a young Catholic leader, he
fought by his use of his words and writings to defend the Church and
Christian civilization. At the beginning of the 30's, he denounced the
leftist movement which had began to infiltrate the Church and also denounced
nazi-fascism.
During the next few years he denounced communist political maneuvering whose
goal was to transform Brazil into a gigantic communist Cuba, and taking with
it the entire Latin America. Hundreds of books and articles of
"brazilianists" and historians from various inclinations in diverse
countries, specially in the United States, acknowledge the decisive roll
Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, and the entities which were inspired by
him, such as Society of Defense of Tradition, Family and Property , played
in avoiding Latin America from falling into the leftist abyss.
The subject of chaos being used as a revolutionary instrument was always
apparent in his observations. In his most well-known work, Revolution and
Counter-Revolution (1959) Corrêa de Oliveira affirms that "superficially,
our daily happenings appear to be a chaotic and inextricable mess, and in
fact, by many points of view they are". Nevertheless, he continues, "it is
possible to discern consequentials, profoundly coherent and vigorous, from
the conjunction of so many delirious forces. In effect, "upon the thrust of
those forces in delirium, the western countries are gradually pushed towards
a state of things that is outlined equally in all things, and diametrically
opposes Christian civilization". He concludes that the contemporary crisis
"is like a queen to whom all of the forces of chaos serve as efficient and
docile instruments."
In the mid-80's, in his analysis of the sociopolitical and religious
international situation, Corrêa de Oliveira puts much emphasis on his
warning that the events are happening each time in a more accelerated pace
and that chaos appears to be spontaneous, but with a relentless internal
coherence: the defined goal of destroying the remains of Christian
civilization. A chaos which at the same time makes it difficult to foresee
preventive actions and alerts, appears to make logic useless, weakens sound
principles and anesthetizes public opinion.
As Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira pointed out in numerous conferences and in
works such as "Four dirty and ugly fingers" (1983), after the communist
crisis leftist intellectuals and even "liberation theologists" went on to
see chaos as a new and efficient instrument of social revolution. The
so-called chaos theories, with its applications on the social field, were
set in motion. It is no coincidence that the chaos being initiated by
diverse anti-Christian movements, with political and religious roots,
undeniably act jointly in this globalized world.
In his research work "The fingers of chaos and the fingers of God" (1992),
Prof. Corrêa de Oliveira perceives that the panorama that chaos opens could
cause more than one reader to be overwhelmed; a chaos that even in the
deepest part of its core does not cease to discern the deceitful glares of
the devil himself, as he pointed out in his article "The mobile immobility
of chaos" (1993). Because of it, the author thought it opportune in this
respect to make note of something which he considers revealing of his
notable spirit that marked his life:
"Then towards where to direct the hope of the reader? Towards God Himself,
which will never abandon His holy and immortal Church. And which through Her
he will, in distant or in recent days, which its coming His Mercy and
Justice will determine, but remain mysterious to us, the splendid rebirth of
the Christian civilization, the Kingdom of Christ through the Kingdom of
Maria".
