Brasilia, Brazil, Feb 17, 2021 / 03:52 pm (CNA).- The head of Brazil’s military ordinariate has told the nation’s bishops’ conference he will not use material from this year’s ecumenical Lenten campaign because it contains gender ideology concepts.
“The evangelization of the faithful at any time, but especially in a special time such as Catholic Lent, is not a place for dialogue on themes that are polemical and contrary to the authentic doctrine of our Church,” Archbishop Fernando Jose Monteiro Guimarães of the Military Ordinariate of Brazil wrote Feb. 8.

The prelate believes Sobejana is fit for the position.
“Am just happy for him because I guess he is fit for his position as CSAFP,” Florencio said in an interview Friday.
“I have met him few times while he was in Mindanao. And I have heard many things of his accomplishments,” he added.
The AFP also welcomed Sobejana’s designation as the 55th Chief-of-Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines who is known to his superiors, peers, and subordinates as a “warrior with the heart of a peacemaker.”
