CWN Editor's Note: Five months before general elections, Brazil’s bishops called for “great and urgent changes,” as “the current situation is very serious. Brazil is not doing well.”

Lamenting violence and ecological damage, the bishops added, “The liberalization and promotion of mining in indigenous and other areas, flexibility of gun ownership and carrying, the legalization of gambling, the increase in femicide and the marginalization of the poor do not contribute to the civilization of love and violate universal brotherhood.”
