8.163. Didn’t Francis promote peace by inviting other religions to pray and honoring cultures like Pachamama? Isn’t that just respectful interfaith dialogue?
In 2019, during the Amazon Synod, Antipope Francis presided over a pagan ritual in the Vatican Gardens in which statues of the fertility goddess “Pachamama” were honored, bowed to, and later brought into St. Peter’s Basilica—the holiest church in Christendom. These statues represented a pagan Andean earth deity, associated with fertility, nature worship, and spiritualism. They were placed before the Pope, honored with prostration, and even carried in procession into a Catholic sanctuary.
This event, far from being an innocent “cultural expression,” was a public act of idolatry, and a profanation of sacred ground—in violation of the First Commandment:
“Thou shalt not have strange gods before Me.”
It was not an isolated incident. Francis has repeatedly:
Participated in interfaith prayers with Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, and Protestants.
Prayed at synagogues and mosques, facing Mecca or joining in silence.
Signed the Abu Dhabi Document (2019) stating that “the diversity of religions is willed by God.”
These actions are not Catholic. They violate divine law, scandalize the faithful, and promote the heresy of religious indifferentism—the false belief that all religions are equal paths to God.
No true pope of the Catholic Church has ever bowed before pagan idols or promoted false religions. True popes have died to defend the First Commandment, not compromised it to be “inclusive.”
| Category | Traditional Catholic Teaching | Francis / Vatican II Practice | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Commandment | Worship God alone; reject all idols and false religions | Participates in pagan rites and interfaith services | Grave violation of divine law and public scandal |
| Role of the Pope | Vicar of Christ; defender of the Faith | Globalist figure promoting human fraternity | No true pope promotes or participates in idolatry |
| False Religions | Must be rejected and their adherents converted | Praised and “enriched by their traditions” | Contradicts *Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus* |
| Public Prayer | Only Catholic worship is acceptable to God | Joins in or hosts non-Catholic and pagan rituals | Directly condemned by previous popes (e.g., Pius XI) |
| Scandal | To be avoided; Church must give good example | Global scandals that confuse, mislead, and embolden error | Public sin from a “pope” endangers millions of souls |
| Fruits | Conversion, martyrdom, doctrinal clarity | Indifferentism, syncretism, blasphemy | “By their fruits you shall know them” (Matt. 7:16) |
Summary:
The Pachamama idol worship in the Vatican, and Francis’s ongoing promotion of interfaith events, are not acts of respect—they are acts of apostasy. They openly violate the First Commandment and promote the lie that all religions lead to God.
Catholics are bound by divine law to reject false gods and false worship. No pope in the Church’s history ever placed idols in a Catholic sanctuary—until now. These scandals prove beyond any doubt that Francis does not possess the Catholic Faith, and therefore cannot be the Vicar of Christ.
As Pope Leo XIII taught:
“The Church has always looked upon communication in religious worship with those who are outside her fold as unlawful.”
Faithful Catholics must reject this false, syncretic Vatican II religion, and cling to the true Faith of our fathers—the Faith that commands:
“Keep yourselves from idols.”
