YOUNG LEO BELIEVED 'IN GOD, FATHER AND MOTHER OF LIFE'

Read about Father Robert Prevost ('Pope Leo XIV') worshipping the pagan goddess Pachamama in 1995, and be HORRIFIED. 

Read about his Augustinian Creed, proclaiming that his order "believe[s] in God Father and Mother of Life", and be ASTONISHED. 

Read that Cardinal Giovanni Batista has told Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò "We must obey the Pope even if the Pope does not obey the Lord," and be ENRAGED.

Horror, astonishment and rage would be typical of any 'good Catholic' to this week's news, wouldn't it? But no: no more than it was to Jorge Bergoglio aka 'Pope Francis' processing the Pachamama into St Peter's Basilica, onto THE ALTAR during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Told that Fr Robert Prevost knelt before the Pachamama idol in 1995, a Marist priest actually laughed. As for the Catholic commentariat, Trad Inc. was mostly muted. Dr Taylor Marshall couched his "the Roman cardinals have elected an idolater and a synchretist to the papacy" as a possibility. For heaven's sake, there's no doubt about this.

Kennedy Hall said Leo was "following JPII's example" (a reference to Pope John Paul II's much-publicised kissing of the Q'ran). 'Joan of Arc' on X was 'disappointed'. But Antony Stine nailed it. It was "an act of apostasy".

As a public mortal sin committed by a priest, it certainly was. Stine cited two moral theologians who say active participation in a Pachamama rite is ‘intrinsically and gravely evil.’ Prevost might have repented but if he has, he's morally obliged to announce that publicly. 

Why are Trad Inc., by and large, pretending this monstrous scandal hasn't happened?  The conservative instinct cannot come to grips with it. Seems as if the spirit of the conciliar, synodal, post-Bergoglian cult has infected the entire  Church, just as the 4th-century Arian heresy did. It's the Novus Ordo effect.
