The Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Institute (IPCO) (Portuguese: Instituto Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira) is a Roman Catholic traditionalist association of private law, which claims direct legacy of the Brazilian Tradition, Family and Property (TFP), and follows the beliefs of Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira. His headquarters are located at the TFP's former building, at Higienópolis, São Paulo, Brazil.[1]

Origin and purposes

The Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Institute was created on 8 December 2006, by a group of members of the Association of the Founders of TFP, and its presidency went to Adolpho Lindenberg, a cousin of TFP's founder. Its creation came in the sequency of the legal dispute over the ownership and naming of TFP with the group led by João Scognamiglio Clá Dias, founder of the Heralds of the Gospel, who claimed direct succession from the original TFP and was organized as a Pontifical Law association in 2001, and won legally the judicial dispute in 2004. The dispute later went to the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court, where it is currently.[2]

The IPCO's main purpose is to follow the same objectives of the TFP, being conservative and counter-revolutionary, and opposing socialism, communism and freemasonry. It claims to work for the preservation of the "basic pillars of the Christian Civilization threatened by the anti-Christian Revolution".[3] The IPCO, like the original TFP, supports the Tridentine mass and is critical of the Vatican Council II.[4] The IPCO has promoted civil mobilization campaigns in several cities across Brazil against subjects like abortion and same-sex marriage. It has also spoken against agrarian reform in Brazil, environmentalism, and Pope Francis' positions, including the encyclical Laudato si'.

The IPCO members include the central core of the historical founders of TFP, and the Chief of the Brazilian imperial family, Prince Luiz of Orléans-Braganza, and his brother Prince Bertrand of Orléans-Braganza.[5]

The IPCO exposes his activity and ideology at their official website and at their monthly magazine Catolicismo.[6] The IPCO is associated at international level with all the worldwide TFPs and similar organizations, like the original TFP was before their division.[7]
