Gustavo Corção Braga (17 December 1896 – 6 July 1978) was a Brazilian Roman Catholic writer.

Career overview

Corção was educated at the

Unesco and later translated into many languages. Corção worked for decades as a journalist, collaborating to several prestigious newspapers, such as Tribuna da Imprensa, Diário de Notícias, Estado de S. Paulo and O Globo. In O Século do Nada (The Century of Nothing), he passionately defended the Francoist Spain and José Antonio Primo de Rivera. According to him, the Second Vatican Council was a "terminal sin".^[6] In August 1969, he founded Permanência, a split from Dom Vital Centre. The name of the magazine came from the French Permanences created by Jean Ousset, the founder of the Catholic City.^{[citation needed}

Influence

Corção's influence among traditionalist Catholics persists to this day. In France, for instance, the Abbey of Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux has published two of his books, La Découverte de l'Autre[7] and Le Siècle de l'Enfer.^[8] French historian Olivier Compagnon also notes the publication of some of Corção's work in Jean Madiran's newspaper, Routes.

His work has been highly regarded by

Antonio Olinto,^[9] Ariano Suassuna,^[10] Gilberto Freyre,^[11] Nelson Rodrigues and Manuel Bandeira.^[12]

Trivia

A street in Rio de Janeiro bears his name (Rua Gustavo Corção).
