An Update on Pachamama Monstrance in Mexico

PLUS: Novus Ordo Priest burns Pachamama Effigy (Video)

Predictably, countless people have been outraged over the Pachamama monstrance displayed in the Novus Ordo parish of San Juan Macías in Zapopan near Guadalajara, Mexico, in recent days. We reported on this here:

In that July 1 post, we wrote: “The pastor responsible for this great affront to God is ‘Fr.’ Juan Pedro Oriol. The archlayman overseeing the diocese is ‘Cardinal’ José Robles Ortega.” Now there has been an important update on this.

In a July 3 report on the incident, the Catholic News Agency writes via the National Catholic Register:

Utterly revolting!

Nothing Sacred: Pachamama Monstrance in Mexico!

[UPDATE: Pastor Juan Pedro Oriol says this was put up during his absence, without his knowledge or permission; condemns as “really disgusting”]

On his personal blog, he recently posted a defense of the outrageous indigenous ceremony that took place in the Vatican Gardens on Oct. 4, 2019, the eve of the notorious three-week Amazon Synod.

Give to Gaia what is Gaia’s? Vatican issues ‘Mother Earth’ Coin

Pachamama returns to the Vatican…

Give to Gaia what is Gaia’s?
Vatican issues ‘Mother Earth’ Coin

The Vatican’s new coin, compared with a common image of Gaia or Pachamama

When in November of 2014, the head of the Vatican’s so-called Pontifical Council for Culture, “Cardinal” Gianfranco Ravasi, participated in a public worship ceremony of the Pagan earth goddess Gaia, also called Pachamama, no one batted an eye. But when on July 19, 2015, a televised “Catholic Mass” of the Canadian Archdiocese of Toronto concluded with a hymn to “beautiful Gaia”, written by a Unitarian Universalist feminist, it did create some outrage.… READ MORE
