Paulo Ricardo de Azevedo Júnior (Recife, November 7, 1967) is a Brazilian Catholic priest, TV host, writer, and professor.

Ricardo endorsed at the Cuiabá Seminary in 1985 and was ordained a priest on June 14, 1992, by Pope John Paul II.

Graduated in Philosophy from Faculdades Unidas Católicas de Mato Grosso, in Campo Grande/MS, he became a bachelor in Theology and has a master's degree in Canon Law by the Pontifical Gregorian University, in Rome.

In 1997, Ricardo went through a conversion experience, guided by the model of the Carmelite nun Therese of Lisieux. In 2002 he became an avid reader of philosopher Olavo de Carvalho.

In 2005 he experienced an air incident between São Paulo and Cuiabá, which led him to have a different preaching, "a clearer preaching against the mainstream tendency".

He hosted the weekly program The Eighth Day, on TV Canção Nova, in 2007. He was one of the priests selected to preach at the World Youth Day 2013, in Rio de Janeiro.

He is the author of nine books and has more than 1.5 million followers on Facebook and 2 million followers on Instagram. He is a major conservative leader in Brazil.

In 2022, Ricardo's Telegram channel underwent censorship by Brazil's Superior Court of Justice.
