message: I am a researcher on Vatican documents and this topic, this article is one of the most confusing articles I have ever read. Since I have read it many months ago, it has SO many contradictions on dates, places and times. 
I have corrected most of them using reliable sources,
but one of the most intriguing issues I have is I cannot find any reliable source proving or documenting that the Basilica ever received the title of "Minor Basilica" in formal writing.
Various sources point to December 8, 1904 or April 29, 1904 but no Vatican document I have dugged up both in my personal library at home or in the Vatican archives prove this. 
Please help so we can verify if this is even true or not. I am sure the Basilica has many followers, but this the Minor Basilica should also be verifiable. LimosaCorel (talk) 06:32, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reliable sources for the Basilica of Aparecida being granted the title of Minor Basilica 

message: I've seen several detailed accounts, in English and Portuguese, about the 1978 smashing.
A typical example in English:
The story goes back to May 15, 1978, when a heretic pastor of the Pentecostal church in the city of São Paulo, São José dos Campos, Brazil, delivered an impassioned plea to his audience, telling them to break Catholic statues. He especially asked the congregation to break the miraculous statue of the Patroness of Brazil, Our Lady of Aparecida.
As a result, a young man, named Rogerio Marcos de Oliveira, devised a plan to destroy the original and miraculous statue of this national devotion of the Brazilian nation.
Rogerio went the next day, May 16, to the city of Aparecida do Norte, entered the shrine of Our Lady, broke the glass encasing of the statue, and shattered it on the spot.Black-out, storm at exact time when miraculous statue is shattered, 18  May 16 2011
Not included in the English account is that the 19-year-old attacker was mentally ill; he was imprisoned, but released because of this. I think the church mentioned is the UCKG church there.
I don't know if this is true; if so I'd consider it relevant. But, whatever else, it needs a reliable source I can't provide. If anybody has a source, they might consider adding this information to the article.
