They are becoming more and more open in their support for 'Mother Goddess' paganism!

Pope Francis Defends Idolatry
Jules Gomes reports for ChurchMilitant : The Vatican City State Mint has issued a 10-euro silver coin depicting “Mother Earth” — an image designed for World Earth Day by Bergamo-born sculptor and engraver Luigi Oldani.
Pope Francis looked on as pagan imagery was revered at the Amazon Synod
“On the first anniversary of the worship of the demonic Pachamama, the Vatican issues a coin explicitly honoring the ‘Mother Earth’ idol!” Donnelly said.
He elaborated:This is defiant sacrilege against God. The Bible is clear that the worship of nature embodied in feminine idols is abhorrent to the holiness of God,” he noted, underscoring Sacred Scripture’s categorical repudiation of anthropomorphizing or divinizing of the earth, especially in the context of the Ancient Near Eastern worship of the fertility deity Baal.This honoring of Pachamama during October — the month Catholics around the world have a special devotion to the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary — is an insult to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Penance, penance, penance!Speaking of the challenge he faced in sketching the illustration for a small coin, Oldani explained how “a multiplicity of volumes had to be ‘synthesized,’ from that of the planet earth as a symbolic womb defended and looked upon with love by the mother, to the physiognomy of the woman and the smallest details of the ears that adorn her head.”
Immigration Extolled
A second coin issued by the Papal Mint is engraved with another leitmotif of Francis’ pontificate and is dedicated to the World Day of Migrants and Refugees.

The five-euro silver coin, designed by illustrator Marco Ventura, depicts “St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, opening his arms wide as a sign of welcome on behalf of the Church to all those migrants and refugees who flee every day from hunger, poverty and conflicts.”
The Vatican statement accompanying the coin reads:
The Church asks and begs for assistance in favor of migrants and refugees and hopes to be heard — for the love of Our Lord Jesus, who suffers in all the marginalized, he is a pilgrim, he is in need — among all men of goodwill.
Thus, the coin, combined with the papal emblem, depicts Peter, the prince of the Apostles, who welcomes, protects and provides for all those who take refuge in the Church … without borders, mother of all, to which it belongs to the privilege of indicating the response of the gospel of mercy, towards a better world.
Three days later, Francis prayed in front of Pachamama in St. Peter’s Basilica and processed with it into the synod hall.
The pontiff confirmed that the idol was that of “Pachamama” and apologized for the “act of theft” after Austrian Catholic Alexander Tschugguel removed the idols from the Church of Santa Maria in Traspontina and threw them into the Tiber river.
Penance, penance, penance!
Pope Francis defended the use of the Pachamama idol in his apostolic exhortation Querida Amazonia, explaining that people should “not be quick to describe as superstition or paganism certain religious practices that arise spontaneously from the life of peoples.”
It is “possible to take up an indigenous symbol in some way without necessarily considering it as idolatry,” Francis asserted, insisting that a “myth charged with spiritual meaning can be used to advantage and not always considered a pagan error.”
Wah! This guy breaks my heart.
