lifesitenews | An international group of 100 priests and lay scholars published a
statement today to protest the pagan worship of Pachamama that took
place last month during the Amazon Synod in Rome with Pope Francis'
active participation and apparent support. They called upon the Pope to
“repent publicly and unambiguously of these objectively grave sins” and
asked bishops’ around the world to “offer fraternal correction to Pope
Francis for these scandals.”
Titled “Protest against Pope Francis's Sacrilegious Acts,” the statement (read full below) highlights Pope Francis' personal responsibility for the worship of a pagan idol in Rome.
Among the signatories, which include more than 20 priests and
deacons, are Professor John Rist, Professor Roberto de Mattei, Professor
Claudio Pierantoni, Professor Josef Seifert, as well as Professor Anna
Silvas. There are also to be found twenty priests and deacons, among
them Father Brian Harrison and the outspoken critic of Pope Francis, Father Cor Mennen. The prominent German Catholic laywoman, Gloria Princess of Thurn und Taxis, also signed, in addition to authors such as Henry Sire, José Antonio Ureta, and Dr. Gerard J.M. van den Aardweg.
The priests and scholars “protest against and condemn the
sacrilegious and superstitious acts committed by Pope Francis, the
Successor of Peter, in connection with the recent Amazon Synod held in
Rome,” and they give detailed evidence of the different incidences of
pagan worship during the Amazon Synod.
Most prominently, Pope Francis hosted a pagan ceremony with Pachamama statues in the Vatican Gardens on Oct. 4 and even blessed one of the statues. Additionally, he prayed
in front of the Pachamama statue at St. Peter's Cathedral on October 7
and then accompanied it in procession into the synod hall.
