His first proper appointment as a diocesan bishop was to the Archdiocese of São Luis in the remote state of Maranhão three years later, but Motta attracted no wider attention until he was promoted to Brazil's most pretigious see in São Paolo in 1944.

With his appointment as a cardinal after Pope Pius XII felt for the first time in his pontificate that a consistory was feasible (due to the hositilities caused by World War II, it was argued, a consistory was impossible between 1939 and 1945), Motta became effectively the leader of the Church in Brazil for the next twenty years or so until a new generation of leaders (Sales, Arns, Lorscheider) emerged. Pope Antiquity Originally the Latin word consistorium meant simply 'sitting together' just as the Greek syn(hedrion (of which the Biblical Sanhedrin World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including Paulo Evaristo Arns OFM (born September 14 1921 in Forquilhinha) is the Cardinal Archbishop Emeritus of São Paulo. Aloísio Leo Arlindo Cardinal Lorscheider, OFM ( October 8 1924 &ndash December 23 2007) was a prominent cardinal of the In this role, Cardinal Motta was faced with the difficult task of what policy to take when confronted with widespread anguish at the great social inequality so characteristic of Brazil. In the 1950s, he became the first archbishop in the Catholic Church to regularly hold episcopal synods - something that became regular practice after Vatican II. The Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, or Vatican II, was the twentieth century Ecumenical Council of the Roman Catholic Church. Amongst his closest pupils was the latterly famous Hélder Câmara.

On the other side, Motta had to contend with the ultra-right-wing group Tradition, Family and Property, which aimed to win him over with a still-extant letter in 1956. The American Society for the Defense of Tradition Family and Property (TFP is an organization of Catholic inspiration and adheres to the traditional teachings of the Regarded as a quiet man who did not like publicity, Motta's reply has characteristically not survived.
Motta attended the sessions of the Second Vatican Council and was transferred to the see of Aperecida in 1964. The Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, or Vatican II, was the twentieth century Ecumenical Council of the Roman Catholic Church. His role in the Church declined significantly after this, however, as new generations of Church leaders contended with the problems of Brazil's 1964 military coup.
He participated in the conclaves of 1958 and 1963 but lost his right to participate in further conclaves on January 1, 1971 as a result of Pope Paul VI's motu proprio Ingravescentem aetatem.
