Biography

Rangel was born in Campos, Brazil, on 5 January 1936. He became a member of the Society of Saint Pius X.

He was ordained in 1991 in São Fidélis, a suburb of Rio de Janeiro, even as the Vatican was threatening those involved with excommunication.[1]

He was consecrated a bishop without papal mandate on 28 July 1991 at São Fidélis in

latae sententiae.[2]

He succeeded Bishop

Priestly Society of Saint John Mary Vianney, an association of priests in the diocese of Campos, Brazil.[3]

On 15 August 2001, Rangel together with all 25 of the member priests reconciled with the Holy See. He addressed a letter to Pope John Paul II in which he confirmed his full submission to and communion with Rome.[2] Pope John Paul responded on 25 December welcoming them into full communion with the Church and withdrawing any censures imposed on them. He also created the Personal Apostolic Administration of Saint John Mary Vianney on that day, with its territory matching that of the Diocese of Campos, and granted its members the right to celebrate Mass in the form instituted by Pope Pius V as amended by Pope John XXIII.[4]

On 18 January 2002, Pope John Paul appointed Rangel its

apostolic administrator and titular bishop of Zarna.[5]

Rangel died in Campos of kidney cancer on 16 December 2002.[1]
