In celebration of “Mother Earth Day,” a group of Jesuits in Spain issued a prayer to the pagan idol pachamama in direct violation of the First Commandment.
On March 31, the Jesuits of Cantabria, La Rioja, The Basque Country and Navarre, in Spain, issued a brochure in celebration of “Mother Earth Day” which featured a prayer to the pagan “god” pachamama. The Catholic Church infallibly teaches, as affirmed by Sacred Scripture, that prayer to any “god” except the one true God is, in fact, prayer to demonic forces, and thus constitutes a grave violation of the First Commandment.
Specifically, the brochure included the subheading “PRAYER TO MOTHER EARTH,” and featured the following text, which has been translated from Spanish to English:
Mother Earth, teach us to love each other as brothers and to care for you with love. Guide us to give light, to be radiant like the Sun. Pachamama, Pachamama, we come to thank you for all the riches you give us. Receive this offering so that the earth may be good. Thank you Pachamama and good mother.
The constant teaching of the Catholic Church, as affirmed by St. Thomas Aquinas in the Summa Theologiae, is that idolatry is carried out under the “influence of the demons” who offer themselves to the “worship of erring men, giving answers from idols or doing things which to men seemed marvelous.” In support of this teaching, Aquinas points to Sacred Scripture, “whence the Psalmist says (Psalm 95:5): ‘All the gods of the gentiles are devils.'”
This so-called prayer to pachamama follows years after Francis, also a Jesuit, allowed a pachamama idol to be used in ceremony in the Vatican Gardens, an act which caused great scandal among the faithful.
As a Lutheran, I still have had nothing but respect and awe for Francis Xavier, and his willingness to spread the gospel to India, China, and Japan, like the 16th century Paul of Tarsus, even if his main motivation was to get there before the [BEEP] Lutherans did.
Jesuits have been going to hell ever since.
Should be ex-communicated immediately and that whole pagan order dissolved.
The Jesuits are the Black Ops go to of the Vatican. They are assigned all the dirty work and skullduggery. They have gotten tossed out of some countries due to their efforts
Why are Jesuits being discussed in a Catholic caucus? They haven’t been Catholic for decades.
I was hoping to see pope who at least knows what a bible is. Lets see if Leo can at least text them to maybe not do that anymore.
Might be another Spanish Inquisition on the way.
I wouldn’t expect that.

New Pope, new rules. Never know. But I agree, doubt anything will happen.
Thanks for the ping. Thanks to all posters.
what is it with this pachamama? what’s the allure all of a sudden. I never heard of it until Francis did nothing when the amazon bishops had their synod a few years ago, and now many miles away from the amazon are bishops worshiping it?
