After seven years of the Bergoglian pontificate:
The Jesuits celebrate Pachamama Day
The Vatican issues Pachamama coin
This is the worship of demons in the high places
Where is the outrage in the Church that Jesuits and the Vatican are officially promoting the veneration of Pachamama?
Where are the bishops? The priests? The deacons?
Their silence makes the whole institutional Church complicit
Where are the disciples of Elijah to bring God's justice to Ahab?

This post just came up on my feed. Actually the Vatican website link provided does show the Vatican calls this coin a depiction of the Mother of the Earth with "eternal" stature....

This post just came up on my feed. Actually the Vatican website link provided does show the Vatican calls this coin a depiction of the Mother of the Earth with "eternal" stature....

It's frightening and bizarre, and clearly reflects a hat tip to Pachamama -- that can't be denied.

Here is what the Vatican website says:

"The Vatican City State Mint will issue a 10 euro silver coin made by Maestro Oldani, depicting a mother carrying the earth in her womb, to whom we owe care and love as if it were a daughter, with long ears of wheat in her hair, in a reference between past and future that becomes timeless, and therefore eternal."

This is not about human motherhood at all. It's about a "mother carrying the earth in her womb"....!!! Exactly how Pachamama is portrayed. The Vatican certainly wouldn't be so brazen as to call it that -- but that's certainly what is depicted.

This post is about how the Vatican allegedly "issues (a) Pachamama coin", Gesu. Go to the Vatican Numismatic site take a screen cap and highlight the word "Madre Terra" or "Pachamama"

Because cyberbullies can’t witness the effect of their words, they use less restraint than they would in face-to-face situations. This emotional and physical detachment allows them to harass others, in some cases without truly realizing they’ve become a bully. But if you are thinking cyberbullying can never harm someone as much as a punch or getting shoved into a locker, think again.

You're too busy putting little "hate" frownies on all my posts aren't you, Gesu? All you show is you hate the truth. For if the truth were on your side, you could show this to be true. You can't. No outrage from you about "insulting and harassing" when a fellow Latin GTV user starts following me around swearing. Fancy that. Nice to see @malemp de Argentina has the same filthy mouth as our Argentinian Pope

You people are like all hypocrites. It isn't the act that bothers you, it's the person. When Malemp is spewing gutter-talk on a Catholic site, you're not putting "hate" frownies on his posts, are you? Your standards are as false as your faith. You were raised a Catholic, you may to go Mass and profane the Euchrarist, but your kind are, in truth, less Catholic than even that Argentinian clown who's the current Pope.

There's nothing "liberal" about my agenda, @malemp, you stupid campesino. . But there's plenty that's factually wrong about yours and Gesu's and San Atanasio's and, happily only a very few others. You "amigos" seem to think telling lies are okay if you don't like someone. I don't. Best of all, I use facts and the truth to humiliate you and make you look exactly like the petty, malicious simpletons you truly are. That's what you truly despise. You can't argue the facts with anything except your own hatred of them.

...and the person who tells them.

Here's an idea @malemp instead of turning GTV into a "four letter" toilet, go to the Vatican Numismatic site take a screen cap and highlight the word "Madre Terra" or "Pachamama". If you can't, your charming phrase applies only to you. ;-)

It's debatable that you and a few others even still are Catholics since you obviously don't submit to "Bergoglio" as you call him, who is the Supreme Pontiff (like it or not). That is schism under Canon Law 751 and schismatics incur aa latae sententiae excommunication excommunication from the Catholic Church under Canon Law 1364 §

"Faithful Catholics" follow the laws of the Church. Do you submit to Pope Francis and recognize him as the Supreme Pontiff? Yes or no?

You 're wrong about the Pope, you're wrong about the woman on the Vatican's coin, and this is how you handle being wrong. What irony... Christ's enemies ran to Pilate and you run to @Don Reto Nay

Seems you and a few other anti-Papal schismatics have started a nice piece of propaganda. "UV insults/ harasses faithful Catholics". Correcting your constant falsehoods and anti-Papal nonsense isn't "harrassment". If I "insult" you, remember I give what I get. I'm just better at giving it than you are.

You're trying to misuse Scripture just like a "Sola Scriptura" Lutheran does when he's wrong. Suddenly he remembers he's "religious" and starts quoting the Bible about heresy.

Let us speak of heresy, as faithful Catholics. The Catholic Church states in Canon Law 751 "Heresy is the obstinate denial or obstinate doubt after the reception of baptism of some truth which is to be believed by divine and Catholic faith."

Show which truth believed by the Church to be divine I obstinately deny or doubt. If you can't, will you accept a permanent ban from GTV?

You want to play at being a "faithful Catholic"? Fine. Let us wager our memberships with @Don Reto Nay as judge. Loser gets permanently banned and banned again if they try to rejoin. Do you still want to discuss heresy as a "faithful Catholic"? I do! :D

You quote Titus 3:11-11 about "evil teachers" What have I taught here that is evil or false?

"Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?" (John 18:23)

That's exactly what you're NOT doing. You can't and you know it which is why you're playing the Pharisee.

Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind.
Catena Aurea Saint Jerome: This is also the same as that Apostolic injunction, “A heretic after the first and second admonition reject, knowing that such a one is perverse.” [Tit 3:11-11] To the same end the Saviour commands evil teachers to be left to their own will, knowing that it is hardly that they can be brought to the truth.

Very easy to prove one way or the other. Highlight the word "Pachamama" or "Madre Terra" on the screen-cap of Official Vatican Philatelic and Numismatic site or your screencap of the sculptor Luigi Oldani..

That IS your claim: the Vatican website and the sculptor " identifies the coin with the Pachamama" Your words quoted verbatim.. So highlight the word Pachamama on the screen caps for the Vatican site or Luigi Oldani. Do it or apologize to me with the same thoroughness of your attack. I'm not done with you.

Just one problem: the Official Vatican Philatelic and Numismatic site doesn't name this coin or call the woman on it "Pachamama" OR even "Madre Terra" (i.e. "Mother Earth")

ufn.va/…ag-fs-2020-50-ann-g-terra.html

The official Vatican Philatelic and Numismatic site describes the image as "depicting a mother carrying the earth in her womb"

So were did this name "Madre Terra" get connected with the coin? It was introduced by way of secular sites like Church Militant (and similar bloggy news sites) quoting a secular Italian numismatic site which you screen-capped. Neither of those sources are Vatican or even quoting the Vatican.

They fabricated the title of the coin. It doesn't appear on the Vatican site. Anti-Papal morons like you will swallow anything because it fits your agenda. (cont.)
Ultraviolet
Where did the secular Italian numismatic site get it? They borrowed the term from the Italian title of Pope Francis book from October of last year: "Nostra Terra Madre. Una lettura Cristiana della sfida dell’ambiente" (English: Our Mother Earth: A Christian reading of the environmental challenge)

press.vatican.va/…bblico/2019/10/16/191016e.html

This is significant because it shows both the Vatican and the Pople are fully comfortable using the term "Madre Terra" when they want to. If the Vatican wanted to call this coin or the woman on it,"Madre Terra," then they have arlready demonstrated that they would. They didn't because she isn't "Madre Terra" and therefore she isn't Pachamama.

A secular Italian numismatic site can give any name they want. They are not the Vatican. Worse, that secuar site's name for the coin is even more wrong than you could possibly imagine as you'll soon learn. (cont.)

That citation is courtesy of @V.R.S. checking the Spanish language Wikipedia... Never let it be said I don't give the credit he richly deserves. Especially when what's going to follow makes him look as silly as getting caught in that lie about checking English dictionaries.

Let's ignore for a moment exactly -how- Padre Lima defined Pachamama. His definition includes a number of concepts that directly contradict each other and what "Madre Terra" means. None of that is his fault, he's only repeating what a bunch of pagan savages claimed and making a best approximation of their errors and falsehoods..

Important, true, but let's just run with the Padre for a few steps. ;-)

Mother Earth can't carry herself in her own womb.

...because Mother Earth can't carry herself in herself and then give birth to herself.

A woman is carrying the earth in her womb.

This last point is central to Catholic pro-life argument. Mother and her unborn child are separate individuals.. A mother who gets an abortion isn't removing a piece of herself. She is removing someone else (and killing them).

Little wonder why the woman on the Vatican coin doesn't look like Pachamama. It isn't Pachama and never was.

Your stupidity just got disproved with facts. Try again. Go ahead, why don't YOU take a look at the official Vatican numismatic site, screen-cap it and highlight the word "Madre Terra" on it. Here's the page.

The word "Madre Terra" does not appear on that page, either identifying the coin or the woman on it.
