FREIRE (João Paulo, Mário). CAVALGADA Heroica! Rotarismo e Catolicismo. Lisboa. 1936. - FREIRE (João Paulo, Mário) CAVALGADA Heroica! Rotarismo e Catolicismo . Análise profana ao livro sagrado dum Cónego Ilustre. Lisboa: ed. autor, 1936. 130, [2] pp.; 155 mm. A satirical pamphlet responding to the work *Rotarism and Catholicism *, by Canon C.A. Gonçalves Pires (Tipografia da Oficina de S. José, Braga, 1936), which João Paulo Freire ironically calls a ”sacred book, ” subjecting it to a ”profane analysis.” The pamphlet is part of the controversy that pitted defenders and critics of the Rotary movement against each other in Portugal in the 1930s, which was then accused by Catholic sectors of constituting a disguised form of Freemasonry incompatible with Church doctrine.
