The irresponsibility should
not have voice in our field.
Journalists, editors and
mediums should have this
clear in their minds, given
the impact that their jobs
can cause in the society, as
presented in this week’s
editorial, entitled
Irresponsibility and its
fruits.
One of the headlines in this
number is the interview
conceded by the confrere
José Antonio Castilho,
well-known disseminator of
the Spiritist book, to our
collaborator and editor
Orson Peter Carrara.
Spiritist since the 60s,
Castilho, who has been
residing for many years in
the city of São Carlos (SP),
is the author of three
books, two of them a
spiritists – “A Literatura
Espírita – seu Estudo, sua
Divulgação” and “É Melhor
Colher Flores” – and a third
one which is about the
family Castilho: “Histórias
dos Castilhos do Interior
Paulista”, in addition to
the booklet “Aos que Amam os
Suicidas”.
Another headline of this
edition is the analysis that
our confrere José Passini,
from Juiz de Fora (MG),
wrote about the work
Legião – Um Olhar sobre o
Reino das Sombras,
psychographed by the medium
Robson Pinheiro.
The 1st Course of
Evangelizer Formation,
organized by the Department
of Infancy and Youth of USEL
– Union of Spiritist
Societies of Londrina, which
started on 7th June,
finished last Sunday as the
especial report shows in the
present edition.

Last Monday, it has been
celebrated one more release
anniversary of the book
Parnaso de Além-Túmulo,
the first work by Francisco
Cândido Xavier, published in
July 1932. The edition of
the work was open by the
preface by Manuel Quintão
and a text from December
1931 firmed by the medium,
who was introduced by the
prefacer as follows: “The
polygraph medium Xavier is a
21-year-old boy,
almost adolescent, born in
Pedro Leopoldo, a small town
of Minas state. Son of poor
parents, could not study
beyond the primary school of
this incipient and
repetitive Pedagogy, which
makes the schoolteacher, in
thesis, a mere electoral
resource who does not go,
also in thesis, much further
than the four arithmetic
operations and a fast
reading, with sparks of
Catholic Catechism, as a
counterbalance”.
