@BeSaintly I just finished this exact episode.

@NCNewsOnX Small, but notable Matt Walsh W.

Matt Walsh calls out Lindsey Graham: “Today Lindsey Graham, who for some reason has been the White House's top spokesman for this war, went on TV and invoked Iwo Jima while calling for more escalation in Iran. Iwo Jima of course involved 26 thousand US casualties. It's extremely troubling that Graham has so much influence with the administration and has been so empowered to speak on its behalf. He is not conservative, he is not America first, he has never done a single thing in his career to advance the interests of actual American citizens, and he clearly wants this war to continue indefinitely and doesn't care how many Americans die in the process. He should have no influence and no say over anything. He's one of the worst people in all of congress and that includes the Democrats.”

@MattWalshBlog Yeah Matt, the Lindsey guy is pretty whack. Also, @CommandMediaTV has been trying to reach out to you.

Another Day Another Pachamama Hoax an article by Pope Respecter The Life Site News headline screamed out: “New photos of future Pope Leo XIV in Pachamama idolatry emerge”. The staff of Life Site News published the story over and over on its various accounts on social media. It was also published by the website “Novus Ordo Watch” a sedevacantist organization that - like most sedevacantist organizations - focuses all their time trashing the man they supposedly do not believe is pope. Then other conservative commentators (Taylor Marshall, Tim Gordon, etc) repeated the claim on various social media outlets: Pope Leo XIV (in 1994 while he was still Fr. Prevost) had worshipped the Andean pagan goddess, “Pachamama”. The story was familiar to many Catholics because the late Pope Francis had also had a pachamama-worshipping scandal in 2019 in which it was claimed that Pope Francis had an indigenous tribe come to the Vatican and worship the goddess on the lawn of St. Peter’s. What are the chances? Two Popes in a row worshipped the same Andean goddess 24 years a part? Crazy. Yes it is crazy and both claims are obviously false. In this article, I am going to look at the first “pachamama” scandal (the 2019 Amazonian Synod involving Pope Francis) and show what it really was and how there really was no scandal to be had. Then in a future article I will look at the Pope Leo claims (that I find to be quite baseless). But before I start going through the evidence, I want to make what should be an obvious point. The burden of proof for such wild claims is clearly on those accusing. These are wild and serious claims and if you want to say it is true you better bring proof. The Pope Francis Pachamama Incident - The 2019 Amazonian Synod Let’s start with what actually happened. What actually happened was quite boring and routine. In 2019 Pope Francis hosted a synod with some of the Amazonian Catholics and missionary organizations to the Amazon to discuss some of the joys, successes, challenges and hopes for the mission in that region. The groups that came brought with them a missionary display of items from the Amazon. Anyone who has had a missionary to their parish knows the sort of thing. They brought trinkets, plants, a canoe, baskets, various figurines, and a statue of a pregnant woman. According to Fr. Anthony Dragani, a profession of religious studies at Aloysius College who has researched the event, the statue was purchased by the Pan Amazon Catholic Network as a sort of a logo for their mission to the Amazon. The statue was then not anything ancient, not something the tribe itself had created, but a logo for the mission. So it was brought with them along with the canoe, plants, baskets, and other trinkets representing the mission in the Amazon. The group met with the Pope, mass was held and then the synod (along with the display) was moved outside. There additional prayers - led by a Catholic priest - were said. As they prayed, the indigenous people prostrated themselves. The missionary display was in front of them but they were no more bowing down to that then you or I are bowing down to the pew in front of us when we pray in church. It was there but the object of the prayers was the Trinitarian God of Catholicism. The event was not particularly exciting. Some of the videos show Pope Francis falling asleep during it. But everyone was polite. The Synod ended. And everyone went home. Then the Catholic world exploded. Shortly after the conclusion of the synod the news broke that an Amazonian tribe had brought a pachamama idol with them and had bowed down to it during a outdoor ceremony performed in front of Pope Francis. The idol was then brought into the Vatican itself and processed and venerated! Many social media influencers - particularly those already critical of the Amazonian Synod - circulated photos and videos of a group of indigenous looking people bowing down to a rough wooden statue of a pregnant woman with Pope Francis pictured in the background. Other pictures showed the same statue inside the church with Pope Francis appearing to say a prayer to it. In the Catholic social media space the news was huge. One popular podcaster, Taylor Marshall, made the topic the center of his podcast discussing the scandal regularly in the wake of the incident. Life Site News made it a regular topic on their website and social media accounts. Influencers speculated on everything about the event and even identified one of the indigenous people as a “witch doctor”. But it was not just influencers who were scandalized. Almost every Catholic who heard about it expressed shock. And a lot of people heard about it. When Mel Gibson was the guest on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast he told 12 million viewers about the incident. "Now we got a pope that brought a South American idol into the Church to worship,” he told Rogan, “-the Pachamama Idol." In the days following, a man approached the Amazonian display that had been left behind for people to see and grabbed the statue of the pregnant woman, threw it in the Tiber River, and ran. Later it was revealed that podcaster, Taylor Marshall, had arranged for the man to do it and paid for his travel (while pretending to know nothing of it). These claims appear to be based on two false assumptions: 1. The statue represented the Inca goddess, Pachamama 2. The tribe worshipped in the Inca goddess, Pachamama I have already shown the first claim is false. We know what the statue was. It was never an idol. It was not some sort of ancient artifact of the tribe. But the second claim is false too. The tribe was actually all Catholic. They represented Catholic believers from the Amazon. But here is the crazy thing. Even before becoming Catholic this tribe comes from a region that never worshipped pachamama at all. The pagan tribes of the Amazon were quite different religiously from the Inca. They had no pantheon of gods. They didn’t worship idols. Instead they tended to be animists (worshipping streams, trees, etc). And so both claims fail completely. But if someone assumes these two claims are true, suddenly you understand why some might have been confused. They see what they were told was a pachamama statue. They see people bowing down with it near them. They see it in the church. And they think an idol to pachamama was worshipped at the Vatican. But again both claims are false. It was not pachamama. The tribe never worshipped pachamama. It was an innocent part of a missionary display and not some ancient idol being bowed down to. But people ran with it. And what was such a boring event that the Pope literally fell asleep during it was suddenly the biggest scandal in the Catholic world. Understandably, the Vatican appears to have been caught off guard. They repeatedly made statements that there was no idolatrous intent behind anything that happened but their message was less than clear and cogent. Defenders of the pope latched onto a video from the event in which one of the people from the Amazonian mission called the statue “Our Lady of the Amazon” appearing to indicate that it represented Saint Mary. But the Vatican contradicted this (likely knowing it was a logo representing the mission). To further complicate things, Pope Francis issued a statement apologizing to the Amazonian contingent for the bad behavior of the man who threw it in the river and he used the word “pachamama” to describe it. When people heard that, they viewed it as a confirmation of every accusation that had been leveled. The Vatican immediately issued a clarification stating that the Pope had meant “so called pachamama” because that is what the press had been calling it and that it was not a representation of the goddess but it was too late. Even many defenders gave up. It was an image of Incan goddess pachamama had been worshipped at the Vatican. But none of this was true. All of it was fake. I am guessing some people spreading the pachamama claims believed it. I am sure some were cynically using it to undermine a pope they already did not like. But for many, they were now convinced: the Vatican had hosted an idolatrous ceremony dedicated to an ancient Incan deity. This is all ridiculous of course. The tribe was all Catholic. The statue was a logo bought by the Pan Amazon Catholic Network as a logo for their mission. No one was bowing down to it. There was no ceremony to it. It was simply part of a missionary display. The whole thing was so boring yet to this day so many people think it was the worst possible thing. In short, it is a hoax - fake - and the Vatican did absolutely nothing wrong. People who projected motives on the Amazonian Catholics need to apologize. People who projected motives on the Pope and bishops at the synod need to apologize. If you went public with your accusations you need to swallow your pride and admit you made a mistake. Not the Vatican. No qualifying it with “the Vatican should have known it would cause scandal.” No. You assumed the worst about your brother and sister Catholics from the Amazon, you assumed the worst about the Vatican, and you assumed the worst about the Pope. You spread a scandal that damaged the faith of many. You need to apologize. [In an upcoming article I will address the Pope Leo XIV “pachamama” scandal which is equally weak in terms of evidence of wrong doing."]

@MonteroOnBoxing Um, Hard work. Ever hear of it? Something something boot straps.
