Overview
- Padre Júlio Lancellotti confirmed he suspended live broadcasts and posting online and said Sunday services will continue in person as he remains pastor of São Miguel Arcanjo.
- Rumors of his transfer were denied by the priest in a parish note that reaffirmed his obedience to the Archdiocese of São Paulo.
- Cardinal Dom Odilo Scherer has not publicly detailed the reasons for the decision, with the archdiocese describing it as an internal matter handled directly between bishop and priest.
- Lancellotti said Dom Odilo asked him to take a period of ‘recolhimento’ as a form of protection, and he stated he would comply.
- Online reaction surged, with a Nexus analysis cited by Estadão counting about 1 million critical posts on X, while supporters and politicians highlighted his long-standing ministry to people experiencing homelessness and noted prior conservative campaigns against him, including a petition delivered to the Vatican.
