Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira (December 13, 1908 – October 3, 1995) was a Brazilian Catholic intellectual, writer, university professor, and political activist. A leading figure of twentieth-century traditionalist Catholicism in Latin America, he is best known as the founder of the Brazilian Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property (TFP) and as the author of Revolution and Counter-Revolution (1959).
Born in São Paulo into a family with roots in the Pernambucan and Paulista landed aristocracy, Corrêa de Oliveira was educated by the Jesuits and graduated in law from the University of São Paulo. Active in the Marian Congregations and the Catholic Electoral League, in 1933 he was elected to Brazil's Constituent Assembly at the age of 24, the youngest member of that body.
