Pope Francis promotes ‘native spirituality’, meets with Amazonian indigenous chief

The thing that gets me is that this Pope and the rest of the Left swerve irrationally from European enlightenment scientism to pre-enlightenment, pre-Copernican shamanism without batting an eye. But even more frustrating is that no one ever calls them on it. When the Left preaches scientism the Right argues over the merits of scientism. When they preach shamanism the Right argues against shamanism--with enlightenment science! And apparently I'm the only person who asks himself "why doesn't someone call them on it? Why doesn't someone ask Al Sharpton how old he believes the universe is? Why doesn't someone ask if pre-Copernican geocentrism is now back in style?" It's like kayfabe pro wrestling--all these "angles" run simultaneously but never intersect.

A while back I perused a Catholic web forum where traditional geocentrists were being excoriated and spoken to in a manner that was utterly shameful, whatever one's cosmology. But are we supposed to believe that "native spirituality" is down with Copernicanism and Darwinism? How about naturalism and materialism???

Once again, the only thing these two Left-endorsed philosophies have in common is that according to chrstianity they're both wrong. That is why I'm convinced that the Left is really inverted chrstianity, childishly endorsing everything chrstianity opposes and opposing everything it teaches. It's essentially today's version of hanging the crucifix upside down, reciting the Latin mass backwards, and desecrating the hosts.
