Câmara, Helder Passoa (1909–99), RC Abp. of Olinda and Recife in
Brazil from 1964 to 1985. A native of Brazil, he was consecrated auxiliary Bp. of Rio de Janeiro in 1952. Here he was instrumental in setting up the Conference of Brazilian Bishops and the Latin American Episcopal Council.

His writings gave him a world-wide reputation.
