In the backlands of Northeastern Brazil, where Vatican Catholicism has long vied with “folk” religious practices for the loyalty of the people, there is a saying that the Holy Trinity is not the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, but instead St. Francis, God, and Padre Cícero.	cache/abf-1.pdf	txt/abf-1.txt
