Pagan Art On Pope's Chasuble

When will people realise that, to Francis, all religions are equally a way to God? He's made that clear over and over, from Pachamama to the Abu Dhabi Statement.

From Restore DC Catholicism

When I first saw the picture below of the pope's odd-looking chasuble, I was dreading the real possibility of it being a picture of some pagan idol.  It wouldn't be the first time he's pulled such a stunt. 



Anyway, here's what that thing really is.  That article speculates that this object (and others) were constructed for pragmatic use as opposed to idolatrous ones.  Still, they date back several hundred years before Our Lord was born.  It has absolutely nothing to do with Christianity.  It's worth noting that this object was found in the Peru/Chile area of South America.

Hmm...  What else was found in that area of the world?  Oh, yes!  The pachamama idol!  Now that demonic object most certainly is a construct of pagan idolatry!  See here.  Don't forget that the pope went so far as to have a pachamama plant placed on the altar of St. Peter's Basilica.

This is by no means the first time that he used paganized caricatures of vestments of his office.  Recall that in 2014 he carried a crosier that was modeled on a wiccan "magic wand".

So now I pose this question: was that pagan picture on the pope's chasuble a sly salute to the pachamama idol?

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.
