There has been more deference to the idol of Pachamama and the willful disregard of doctrine considering the blessing of the sin that is (and will ever be) same-sex unions in the German conference than there has been to prelates who hold to Catholic teaching. It is scandalous to appoint any cardinal that has a history with McCarrick, most especially one who would willfully give the Eucharist to someone known to manifest grave sin. I hold hope that the past 50 years will be a reawakening for the church. Those who are awakened to the fullness of the faith. The rejection of worldliness. Abortion, contraception, the desecration of the Eucharist, the desecration of marriage, has emboldened those who wish to renew the face of the church. The pontificate survived the Medici, the Avignon exile, the end of the Papal States, it will survive the “Spirit of Vatican II” and emerge stronger.
it is ridiculous to lay the blame on Pope Francis for the German Synodal Way.
while I don't agree with McElroy myself, I don't think his view is heretical, and he's not entirely wrong. and I certainly don't think that his actions with regard to McCarrick disqualify him from anything.
yes, the Church will survive, but the "Spirit of Vatican II" will be the cause of its survival, not a threat. because the only spirit of Vatican II is the Holy Spirit, who guides the college of bishops and their head, the bishop of Rome. the promise of the Spirit will never fail.
If Pachamama is not an idol, Francis is not the Pope.
Wikipedia describes Pachamama as a goddess revered by the indigenous peoples of the Andes. In Inca mythology she is an Earth Mother type goddess, and a fertility goddess.
The Vatican Dicastery for Communication explained that Pachamama is “an image of motherhood and the sacredness of life, a traditional symbol for indigenous peoples representing the bond with our ‘mother earth.' "
Pachamama is pornographically naked. Her womb proclaims and depicts a fertile engorgement. The Pachamama is not the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Only the blind and deluded would deny the truth of the spirit which seeks to keep Pachamama present within the Roman Catholic Church.
Where are people seeking to "keep Pachamama present within the Catholic Church"? My understanding was that she featured in an indigenous presentation as a representation of the ancient spirituality of the Amazon. In Australia, we recognise the indigenous spirituality all the time at social and religious ceremonies as evidence of Gods presence among people outside and before the coming of Christ. It's a magnificent affirmation that God is everywhere since the beginning of time.
As you say, there are probably some people who rely upon a statue of a pagan god in order to proclaim that "God is everywhere." Similarly, some people likely see nothing wrong with pachamama’s presence in the Church.
The God of Catholicism is a jealous God who commands His people not to worship idols. Therefore, a pagan idol within a Church consecrated to the celebration of the Sacrifice of the Mass dishonors God and man who disobeys and denigrates God's command.
The Holy Eucharist is present in the tabernacles of all churches of the Roman Catholic faith. There is absolutely no comparison between the Real Presence of God in the Holy Eucharist and a statue of a pagan god. If the Real Presence of God in the Holy Eucharist does not assert the miraculous and magnificent God present in the world, nothing will.
At the Amazon synod, people on their knees bowed to pay homage to the figures, and Francis reportedly blessed them. After the Synod, some of the figures were taken to Rome and placed in a side altar at the Church of Santa Maria in Traspontina. When they were removed and thrown in the river, the bishop emeritus of the Diocese of Xingu, Brazil, condemned the act, saying the statues could be integrated into [the Catholic liturgy], and asserting, “there are people who think that Pachamama is a goddess.”
About a year after the Synod, a parish in Guadalajara, Mexico, featured a Monstrance in the shape and image of the Pachamama. The Monstrance was used to display the Eucharistic Lord. So yes, there are 'Catholic' people who want to keep the Pachamama present in the Catholic Church.
