Pope Francis must lead Church in formal repentance for Pachamama idolatry

He Threw the Pachamama Idols into Tiber River: Dr Taylor Interviews Alexander Tschugguel

Why Catholics honoring Pachamama is a result of apostasy

How can it happen that idolatry enters the temple of God without a bad conscience, but rather with a bold rejoicing? 
Statuettes, which were eventually and officially identified as “Pachamama” idols, were not only the focus of a loud media hype for being rightly thrown into the Tiber, but became the symbol and the cipher of the just-ended Amazon Synod. It was an event that dealt with idolatry. The premises were already laid in the Instrumentum laboris.
It was clear from the beginning that the Amazon Synod would present a new eco-religion linked to the Earth – Mother Earth, a symbol of pronounced femininity and a source of inspiration and prophecy for our time which would give the Church its “true” face, an “Amazonian” face. It was a face that was revealed, in fact, in the carved fertility fetish.
The effort of the Vatican media to dissuade the public from the idea that it was promoting the Pachamama religion in Rome could not erase the anger and outrage of those Catholics who had the courage to raise their voices. As always, there were only a few. The fact that a liberal English magazine like The Tablet was anxious to disguise the idolatrous danger by providing a Christian hermeneutic of those statuettes says a lot.--> READ MORE

Cardinal Raymond Burke told a sold-out Catholic conference in Detroit last weekend that “there is no question that the Church is currently experiencing one of the greatest crises which she has ever known.”
“Today perhaps as at no time in the past there is an ever more diffuse phenomenon of general confusion and error regarding doctrine and morals within the Body of Christ,” he told the crowd of 800 at the Oct. 26 Call to Holiness conference in a talk on “Keeping the faith in a time of confusion.”
And a “frightening manifestation of the gravity of the situation” is the Amazon synod’s working document, which “constitutes an apostasy from the apostolic faith by its denial of the unicity and universality of the redemptive Incarnation of God the Son,” added the cardinal.
The month-long Amazon synod ended Sunday amid heated controversy over the preeminence given to statutes of Pachamama, the Incan fertility goddess, at the event. Signaling more turbulence ahead, LifeSiteNews reported Saturday that the synod’s final document calls for allowing women’s ministries at Mass.
One of two surviving “dubia” cardinals, Burke obliquely referred to the Pachamama controversy when detailing the 40-point “Declaration of truths” he and Bishop Athanasius Schneider — who condemned the use of the pagan statues at the synod in an open letter — and several other bishops published May 31.
“Frighteningly evident” in the synod’s working document is the widespread error that “considers all forms of non-Christian spirituality and religion to be seeds or fruits of the divine Word,” said Burke.
“But as the Declaration makes clear, such cannot be the case with spiritualities and religions that promote any kind of idolatry or pantheism.”
The Declaration also refutes the widespread error “that Judaism and Islam have their own integrity, and that therefore it is wrong to work for the conversion of Jews or Muslims to Christ” by affirming “that salvation comes through faith in Christ alone,” Burke said to thunderous applause.
While the Church faced a “more serious doctrinal crisis” in the Arian heresy of the fourth century, which denied the divinity of Christ, there is today “confusion about many truths of the faith and a growing sense that the Church is no longer certain regarding the truths that she has always taught,” he said.--> READ MORE

How Amazon Synod could lead to more Muslim violence against Christians

As I said in a recent column, Pope Francis doesn't understand Islam. More proof of that came on October 4th when the pope participated in what has been described as a "highly symbolic tree-planting ceremony."
Well, you could call it that, but most tree-planting ceremonies don't involve mandalas, hymns to "Mother Earth" and kneeling before statues of pregnant women.
Presumably, that's how Amazonian Indians conduct tree-planting ceremonies, but this ritual was held in the Vatican Gardens, and one of the statues (a carving, really) was presented to Pope Francis during the fertility rite.
But what does Islam have to do with it? Well, in one sense, nothing. Islam wants nothing to do with such activities. Islam was founded as a strict monotheistic religion, and when its founder entered Mecca in 630 he removed and destroyed the 361 idols to pagan gods that were on display in the Kaaba.
In another sense, however, it's likely that Ayatollahs and Imams everywhere are paying close attention to the Catholic Church's new found interest in "Mother Earth". Why? Well, first you need to understand just how seriously some Church leaders are about transforming the Church into something new and strange. Unless you've been on an extended vacation in the more remote areas of the Amazon rainforest, you know that the preparatory document for the Amazon Synod seems to be preparing us for a new Church with an Amazonian face. The document seems to affirm the legitimacy of pantheism, paganism, and ancestor worship. Moreover, contrary to established doctrine, it asserts that the Amazon region is itself a source of divine revelation.--> READ MORE

Pope Francis proposes female deacons, married priests at Amazon synod

Pope Francis, rounding out his synod of Amazonian clergy, announced Saturday that he would be reopening a commission to study the history of women as deacons in the early days of the Catholic Church.

After calls by women for greater decision-making roles in the Church, the pope made the announcement at the end of his three-week assembly discussing issues facing the Amazon region, solutions to a shortage of priests, environmental protection and the role of women.

Francis originally opened a commission to study the possibility of women in the role in 2016, but the commission ended its work without a consensus on the topic. A gathering of 181 bishops voted on 120 recommendations presented to the pope. The recommendation to re-examine female deacons passed the two-thirds vote threshold, 137 in favor and 30 opposed, according to the Wall Street Journal.--> READ MORE
