The Heralds of the Gospel were founded by Msgr. João Scognamiglio Clá Dias, EP, who was for many years close to Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, whom he considers his mentor, and they also follow the main beliefs of the original Brazilian Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property. The main difference is that they claim to adhere to Vatican Council II and its reforms. They were created on 21 September 1999, and were recognized as an International Association of Pontifical Right by Pope John Paul II on 22 February 2001.
