Unsurprisingly, Francis hastened to accept the resignation (March 12 ) of Brazil Military Bishop Fernando Monteiro Guimarães.
Guimarães turned 75 in July 2021. He became famous globally in 2022 for defying the Motu Proprio Traditionis Custodes using publicly, with beautiful pictures and live-streams, the 1962 Roman Pontificale that Francis and Archbishop Roche want to "abolish."
Francis appointed as his successor Brasilia Auxiliary Bishop Marcony Vinícius Ferreira, a Rome educated liturgist.
