All And the Contrary of All: Pachamama Francis Warns Of Idolatry

“If we don't worship God, we will worship idols – there is no middle way,” Francis pontificated at his Epiphany Mass.

“It is either God or idols; or, to use the words of a French writer: ‘Whoever does not worship God, worships the devil’ (Léon Bloy).” Francis warned that not worshipping God will turn "us" from believers into idolaters, “It is just like that, aut aut [either, either].”

One day ago, he suggested the opposite saying that all people who adore whatever, were brothers of "one Father," whoever this is.

In Querida Amazonia (February 2020), he praises a pagan "cosmic harmony" which enjoys "God's little gifts" (71), a pagan "indigenous mysticism" and a pagan "relationship with God present in the cosmos" (73). He insists that a relationship with Christ "is not inimical to the pagans "cosmic worldview" since Christ "permeates all things" (74), and states that pagan religious festivals have a "sacred meaning" (79).

Gotta love the irony of Pope Francis warning against paganism. Ah. Lest we forget...

Similarities aren't identicals what most Catholics fail to make distinct ...

Paganism is paganism. Or are you disputing that fact? If so, please show how a Pope participating in a Mexican pagan ceremony is different than a Pope participating in an Andean pagan ceremony. When you're done with that, then you can show how a Pope offering worship to the pagan Pachamama is different from a Pope offering worship to the pagan Allah. Your move, @Rafał_Ovile
