He was born in Fortaleza, Ceará, in 1921, and entered the seminary in 1923. He was ordained a priest in 1945 and became a bishop in 1952. He attended the Second Vatican Council and played a significant role in drafting the document Gaudium et spes. He was also a founder of the National Conference of Brazilian Bishops and the Latin American Episcopal Council. He was elected president of the UN General Assembly in 1968 and presided over the vote on the creation of the state of Israel. He was a friend and mentor of many prominent Brazilian figures, such as Paulo Freire, Leonardo Boff, and Dom Pedro Casaldáliga.
