Hélder Câmara

Dom Hélder Pessoa Câmara was Roman Catholic Archbishop of Olinda and Recife.

He retired as archbishop in 1985, and lived to see many of his reforms rolled back by his conservative successors.

He is famous for the quotation, "When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist."
