[Catholic Caucus] UNEARTHED: 1995 photo shows Pope Leo[ XIV participating in Pachamama ritual
Exclusive to LifeSiteNews, this explosive revelation will feature prominently in Fr. Charles Murr's forthcoming book on the new pontiff.

Fr. Robert Prevost (now Pope Leo XIV) present at a Pachamama ritual in 1995 LifeSiteNews
In an explosive revelation that will feature prominently in his forthcoming book on the new pontiff, Faith & Reason co-host Fr. Charles Murr has confirmed that Pope Leo XIV — then Fr. Robert Francis Prevost, O.S.A. — actively participated in a pagan Pachamama “Mother Earth” agricultural ritual while attending an official Augustinian theological symposium.
The story was first brought to light by Fr. Murr, who has spent months meticulously compiling documentation for his upcoming book on Leo XIV. Three Augustinian priests have now independently confirmed to Fr. Murr that Robert Prevost is clearly visible among the kneeling participants in the central photograph. Although none of the three were present at the 1995 ritual itself, they immediately and unmistakably recognized their confrere from the published image.
TOPICS: Catholic; Religion & Culture
KEYWORDS: francisii; gaiaworship; pachamamapopeii; paganworship
On the Faith & Reason episode today, Fr. Murr noted how this violates the First Commandment and how the martyrs of the Church gave their lives rather than participate even slightly in ceremonies to false gods. The Vatican Press Office was approached for comment but has not yet responded.

It would appear that civilization never quite took hold in Bolivia.

actively participated in a pagan Pachamama “Mother Earth” agricultural ritual while attending an official Augustinian theological symposium. Never mind Prevost being there ... what the hell was that ritual doing at an Augustinian "theological symposium" at all? The organizers of that "symposium" allowed it. Planned it. Provided room for it. The rot goes deep.

Bolivia or Peru? Prevost spent some ten years in Peru, even took out Peruvian citizenship papers. Peru btw is the home of liberation theology.
