The recent decision of Brazil's Supreme Court to criminalize homophobia may have prompted president Jair Bolsonaro to ask if it's time for the Court to have an evangelical minister.

One day after asking "if it's time to have an evangelic Supreme Court minister, president Jair Bolsonaro (PSL) spoke about a "Brazil of all religions" and shared a video on social media that referenced Catholics at a pro-government protest.

"Brazil is a country of all religions, and we know that freedom is greater than a nation. Brazilians, look at what Israel does not have and what it is," said Bolsonaro, who visited the country with a Jewish majority in April.

"Look at what we have in Brazil, and what we are not. Together, with faith, lots of work and prayer, we have placed our homeland in the spotlight that it deserves," he added.
