Pachamama's pagan worship is not from Amazon but belongs to the Inca Empire

Peruvian outfits, llamas, alpacas, flamingos, quinoa, and more: A preview of the Vatican’s Nativity Scene for this year

Does anyone in the Vatican even know what the word "devotional" means?

Will the condor be a full time drone?
P.S. I hope the llamas won't spit on the Infant.

that lady with the baby sure doesn't look happy; in fact, she is looking away from him.

It is not real and according to the NT, so it's fake...like NO.

More nod to the "peoples" over the Faith. Note: animals are featured more than actual humans (environmentalism?) Remember , the Nativity is about the Word taking on human nature in order to redeem it. Plus the traditional sheep, ox, & ass have spiritual allusions in Catholic spirituality. By taking Christ's Nativity out of its historical context, and introducing other creatures - rather than making it relevant, you make it abstract. Kind of like that terrible "hipster" manger scene with cell phones, 'man-buns' and selfies. Interesting in this video some dude was just chatting on his phone in front of this supposedly religious display. Verdict - it doesn't invoke devotion, just curiosity.

It’s going to be so easy for Jorge Francis to slip a pachamama in there.

There is a great element of honesty alluded to here: It's a train wreck!

I watched the video three times, but I couldn't find a m"winged shepherd". In fact, I couldn't find a shepherd at all...
