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.
