Another take on the Pachamama 'catechesis' at the Papal Christmas concert.
From Restore DC Catholicism
A Christmas concert at the Vatican a few weeks ago featured a tutorial
in how to participate in pachamama idol worship. Yes, this idol-worship
session was sponsored by the Congregation for Catholic Education. That
congregation's name is clearly a misnomer. Both Gloria TV and Church Militant
have accounts of the sacrilege. They have translations but even with
my limited knowledge of Latin-based languages, I can detect "mother
earth" (madre terra). What is particularly galling is how the prelates
in the audience follow along like good little sheep dogs and cross their
arms over their breasts to "feel the heart of mother earth". Is that a
liturgical gesture? Well yes, but not Catholic. Look to the right to
see who uses that gesture in their ceremonies. Did any of them, just
one, keep their hands at their sides?
Doesn't this strike you as flagrant prostelyzation? Gasp! I thought
that was forbidden in this new enlightened age of the "god of
surprises". But I guess that prohibition only applies to the actual
fulfillment of Christ's commission to proclaim the Gospel.
But of course this wasn't prostelyzation you see? This is just a part of what Pope Francis said when he said that church must "adapt"
lest it become "irrelevant". He states that "the faith in Europe and
much of the west...is often derided, denied, marginalized and
ridiculed". That's true, but his antics are a big reason why
that's the case. He is constantly undermining her teachings instead of
upholding them while he yaps about "climate change" and other
nonsense. What else would he expect the world to do?
He also points the finger (again!) at faithful Catholics who uphold Jesus' teachings. I suppose one of them would be Dr Josef Seifert who has stated that if what the pope teaches is in contradiction to perennial Church teaching, then we have a solemn duty not to
obey it. Take note well. Obviously this prohibition would mean that
we don't obey cues to assume idolatrous worship practices or allow for
disregard of the Church's moral teachings. It also means that we are
NOT permitted to shill for the abolition of the death penalty nor for de
facto open borders.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
