Centro Dom Bosco

Shield of Centro Dom Bosco. Founded by a group of Catholic university students in 2016, Centro Dom Bosco quickly became an influential organization within Brazilian conservative circles

Centro Dom Bosco (Language: Portuguese. English: Don Bosco Centre) is a lay Catholic cultural center established on September 17, 2016, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[1] It is known for its support for Catholic traditionalist initiatives, rejection of the Second Vatican Council, promotion of the Tridentine Mass, as well as the controversies which it has been involved. Despite identifying as Catholic, Centro Dom Bosco is not subject to the ecclesiastical hierarchy[2] and has openly opposed it on many occasions, being a part of a phenomenon which some researchers label as "endogenous anticlericalism".[3] According to researcher Victor Almeida Gama, the organization aims to revive Brazilian Catholic right-wing movements, such as TFP.[4]

The group's declared aim is to "re-Christianize" Brazil,[5] and is said to focus on forming a Catholic intellectual elite,[3] educating leaders who would contribute to the establishment in Brazil of the Social Kingship of Christ — that is, a state where laws and institutions adhere to Catholic principles.[5] Centro Dom Bosco has a YouTube channel[6] covering topics pertaining to the Catholic doctrine from a pre-Second Vatican Council perspective, and also operates its own platform. Recently, the organization has expanded into film production and publishing through its own publishing house.[7] Given its influence on virtual platforms and its broad reach among both clerical and lay circles, Centro Dom Bosco is recognized as one of the leading centers of Brazilian Catholic conservatism.[8]
