Centro Dom Bosco is a lay Catholic cultural center established on September 17, 2016, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is known for its support for Catholic traditionalist initiatives, rejection of the Second Vatican Council, promotion of the Tridentine Mass, as well as the controversies which it has been involved. Despite identifying as Catholic, Centro Dom Bosco is not subject to the ecclesiastical hierarchy and has openly opposed it on many occasions, being a part of a phenomenon which some researchers label as "endogenous anticlericalism". According to researcher Victor Almeida Gama, the organization aims to revive Brazilian Catholic right-wing movements, such as TFP.
