Whole Bishops' Conference Goes Pagan

The Columbian Bishops’ Conference published on Flickr.com photos of a Church event featuring Indio shamans invoking demons in presence of enthusiastic priests, sisters and bishops.

The shamans appeared dressed in ponchos with feathers on their heads. They released smoke over bananas, ananas, Indian corn and other vegetables and fruits that were arranged on a towel. Further they sprinkled their audience with some demonic substance.

The event was presented by the bishops as “Church with an Amazonian Face.”

This just looks like a weird picnic with some indigenous people wearing their costumes. Why is it “demonic”?

For one thing, the indigenous Amazonians they are there to celebrate are frequent practitioners of infanticide.

So... they are slightly less repulsive then PP employees who practice it all the time.

Whoa! So are these the “village elders” the synod considers possible psuedo-priests!? I’m starting to see the problems...

[Mrs. Don-o]

Presumably because at their "picnic" they are invoking powerful bodiless entities operating apart from the One True God.

The problem is not that these entities are merely imaginary, or that they do not exist. The problem is that they do.

The Bishops in Latin America are as a group racists. They've been encouraging paganism among the indigenous for a long time. IMO it's because they don't view them as brothers but as something slightly subhuman.

[Marchmain]

So, you mean they are really invoking “demons”? It’s not just a quaint primitive ritual?

[Mrs. Don-o]

Exact-a-mundo.
