[[Carlos Duarte Costa]] (1888–1961) was a [[Catholic]] bishop in [[Brazil]] for twenty years before distancing himself, and being excommunicated by the Catholic Church over his opposition to its position on [[clerical celibacy]], [[divorce]], [[vernacular]] liturgy, and accused the Catholic Church of [[fascist]] sympathies.{{Sfn | Jarvis | 2019 | pp = 69–78}} In 1945, Duarte Costa founded the [[Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church]] and began consecrating numerous bishops in the [[apostolic succession]]. He is known as "St. Charles of Brazil" by the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church, which had grown to 560,781 members by 2010.<ref>"Tabela 2103 – População residente, por situação do domicílio, sexo, grupos de idade e religião: Religião = Católica Apostólica Brasileira".
