The factors that contribute to the popularity of Bruno Leonardo
He has CNNThe theology of Anna Beatrise Dias Pinto, a professor in the Department of theology at the PUC-PR, was always traditional leaders who adapted the reality of their time to provide answers to the aspirations and comfort of people.
“In the Old Testament, for example, we have Moses, as a leader who heads the promised land of Israel.” Indeed, in the history of emerging Christianity, we have Jesus Christ himself, and he is a conductor that applies his time, and talks about the elements that communicate with people’s lives, “he says.
“From 17, 18 or 19, with the great manufacturing boom in the world, and everything that will happen within the religious facades – and other possibilities of belief, such as spirituality and the development of Freemasonry, for example – religion now occupies a very important scenario in the life of the world’s inhabitants,” he adds.
Therefore, the theologian, one of the main factors that contribute to the popularity of Bruno Leonardo is the increasing search for the population, especially in the post -guardian period, through spirituality and some meaning to understand reality.
“Humans have never searched for answers, interior and information. In this role, (Bruno Leonardo) offers all this firmly to the general population. It is a speech that gradually presents himself, and thus can be considered a religious coach,” the researcher says.
Anna Beatorese also indicates that although the positive impact with people who absorb and merge type messages in the digital age, all religious leaders must be careful about the responsibility they bear when communicating with the big masses. “Those who use these biblical phrases, and these elements are not always, in fact they use them well in assuming evangelization,” says theology.
Middle Endowment
For the researcher Luciano Gome Dos SantosProfessor of Religion at the University of Arrenaldo University, at BELO Horiztene (MG), the long brono Leonardo run from different views in the field of social sciences, including sociology of religion, digital communication and studies in the virtual environment.
“His ascension to the religious influence is related to a group of factors ranging from the transformation of religious consumption in the digital age to successful strategies to participate with the public,” the researcher describes CNN.
GOMES DOS Santos notes that the increasing digitization of the religious experience has provided new means of evangelical leaders to reach believers in a way that exceeds the physical restrictions of the temples.
“Platforms such as YouTube, Tiktok, Facebook and Instagram allowed to preach to exploring the less traditional spaces and reaching a large audience on a large scale. Bishop knows how to use these tools effectively, spread content, thinking and motivational messages in a way that can be accessed and continuous, creating a sense of near the audience.”
Another important factor that must be observed, according to GomeS DOS Santos, is the language used during preaching. The researcher says: “It adopts simple, direct, emotional and welcome communication, which generates a feeling of intimate relationship. These characteristics prefer to identify a wide audience, and they often seek spiritual comfort in the face of the tribulations of life.”
Bruno Leonardo’s speech often, among other aspects, often emphasizes the difficulties and faith in miracles, with a tone that connects Gomez Santos Lahout, Nepentecostal, widely in Brazil and other strong Christian traditions.
According to the researcher, the context of social and economic challenges in Brazil also contributes to popularity. According to the teacher, moments of uncertainty and weakness increase the search for messages of hope and belonging, making charismatic characters more relevant.
He points out, “It strengthens this idea that faith can be a way to overcome challenges, which resonate deeply with the popular classes that face material and emotional difficulties.”
The digital community focuses on the uniqueness of faith
Finally, GomeS Dos Santos estimates that the effect of the evangelical leader also shows another phenomenon in the country: the uniqueness of faith, which challenges the hierarchical structure of traditional churches, allowing believers to reach the word tingling without necessarily associated with a specific female.
“This reflects a wider direction for this individual, as followers choose their idols and their contents more specialized,” the researcher describes. “They can interact, comment, share and create a virtual, participating community that enhances the feeling of belonging and active participation.”
