December 10, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) Cardinal Raymond Burke is backing a France-originated call to prayer and reparation on Dec. 12 for the Pachamama idolatry that took place at the Vatican during the Amazon Synod, saying that diabolical forces have entered St. Peters Basilica that need to be vanquished.
Something very grave happened during the special assembly of the Bishops Synod for the Amazon region. An idol was introduced into St Peter's Basilica the figure of a demonic force, said Cardinal Burke during a short Dec. 8 interview with the French independent TV station, TVLibertés.
Therefore reparation is necessary and also prayers, so that the diabolical forces that entered with this idol are vanquished by the grace of God, by Christ who wants St Peter's Basilica to be purified of the sacrilegious act that took place during the Synod, he added.
In an initiative that originated in France, Catholics are being called to mark the liturgical feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Thursday, December 12, by prayers of love and reparation for the idolatrous parodies of her image in the Vatican Gardens, in the Synod Aula, in the streets of Rome, in the church of Santa Maria in Traspontina near St Peters Square and in St Peter's Basilica itself, at the very heart of Christendom.

The initiative has been dubbed: Lets spiritually throw the Pachamamas into the Tiber, and has received the support of Alexander Tchugguel, the young Austrian Catholic who actually threw five Pachamamas taken out of Santa Maria in Traspontina into the river during the Amazon Synod.
The call to prayer is simple and can be answered at all levels. It is suggested that Catholics should say five decades of the Rosary and a prayer of reparation on December 12, if possible in a church, a chapel, a sanctuary or a public place, at some time during the day, together with like-minded faithful, or at home if that is not possible, or together with a sick or elderly person in his or her home or hospital room.
Cardinal Burke gave his support to this initiative when answering a question by telephone from Jean-Pierre Maugendre, of the Renaissance catholique movement, in French during the Dec. 8 interview.
When asked if he was calling all cardinals, bishops, priests and lay people to associate with this initiative of prayer and reparation, the Cardinal replied: Yes, yes. All should pray and make this act of reparation for the scandal that was caused, especially because God was offended by this act.

Cardinal Burke insisted: I want to encourage you in every way to go ahead with this initiative.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider has also supported the act of reparation, calling it a precious initiative.
A classic prayer of reparation used for the devotion of the Five First Saturdays as asked by Our Lady of Fatima to Sister Lucia can be recited as follows:
O Most Holy Virgin, and Our Mother, we listen with grief to the complaints of your Immaculate Heart surrounded with the thorns placed therein at every moment by the blasphemies and ingratitude of ungrateful humanity. We are moved by the ardent desire of loving you as Our Mother and of promising a true devotion to Your Immaculate Heart.
We therefore kneel before You to manifest the sorrow we feel for the grievances that people cause You, and to atone by our prayers and sacrifices for the offenses with which they return your love. Obtain for them and for us the pardon of so many sins. Hasten the conversion of sinners that they may love Jesus Christ and cease to offend the Lord, already so much offended. Turn you eyes of mercy toward us, that we may love God with all our heart on earth and enjoy Him forever in Heaven.
Hundreds of French Catholics have asked for printed or printable PDF versions of a prayer card (click here to download) showing the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe on one side, and a French prayer of reparation including the invocation taught by the Virgin to Saint Catherine Labouré: O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
The prayer ends with this invocation:
Hail Mary, Beloved daughter of the Father; Hail Mary, Immaculate mother of the Son; Hail Mary, Virginal spouse of the Holy Spirit.
Both invocations were quoted by Roy Schoeman, a convert from Judaism, as being particularly loved by the Blessed Virgin whom he saw in a miraculous dream and asked how she liked to be addressed.
The ugly, naked and pregnant Pachamama appears as a total antithesis to the Holy Mother of God in her revelation to the Indigenous peoples of the Americas and the Spanish Conquistadors.

December 12 is the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Empress of the Americas, whose miraculous image was left in 1531 of the blanket-coat or tilma of a middle-aged man in what is now Mexico , Saint Juan Diego, who had already converted to Christianity less than nine years after the Spaniards overthrew the Aztec empire.
The image is rich with both Western and indigenous symbolism and shows her to be both a Virgin and pregnant, a sweet Mother who was visually as different as can be from the pagan spirits worshiped by the local population. It was her apparition that sparked off the mass conversion of millions of indigenous people to the Catholic faith, brought to them by the Spanish conquistadors who had arrived in the country some ten years earlier. Less than a hundred years later, practically the whole Latin American continent had been converted.
The majority of the indigenous Aztecs and Mayas of the region in 1531 must still have remembered the terrifying times of human sacrifice when the serpent god, Quetzalcoatl, and other divinities were given their due of human victims, and the vision of the gentle but regal figure of the Virgin Mary was for them a complete novelty. Their pagan gods were frightening in their ugliness and evil in their demands; Our Lady of Guadalupe came with a message of love and of trust, to speak of the true God:
Know, know for sure, my dearest, littlest, and youngest son, that I am the perfect and ever Virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the God of truth through Whom everything lives, the Lord of all things near us, the Lord of heaven and earth[.]
And later:
Am I not here, I, who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not the source of your joy? Are you not in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need anything more? Let nothing else worry you, disturb you.
She appeared on the hill of Tepeyac, where the temple of Tonantzin the goddess Mother Earth of the Aztecs known as Pachamama farther south in the Andes had been destroyed by the Spaniards. Also known as Coatlicue in the Aztec pantheon, she was an unpleasant divinity, wearing a skirt of serpents and a necklace of severed hands, human hearts and skulls. Modern anti-Catholic historians are wont to identify the pagan goddess with Our Lady of Guadalupe, who they say is honored by indigenous Americans as an occult representation of their former goddess.
This syncretic (and blasphemous) interpretation of a fully Catholic veneration for the Virgin Mother of God is very present in modern, secularized circles and would explain why the Pachamama was chosen to be carried about and venerated at the Amazon Synod, even though the perfect example of Our Lady of Guadalupe exists as an answer to the issue of evangelization of the indigenous peoples.

We need a reformation or church split of the Roman Catholic Church. Gaia (Pachamama) worship IS demon inspired idolatry. Homosexuality and pedophilia are demon inspired. Splitting away from these abominations is warranted for those who love Christ Jesus
Thanks for posting. Very interesting. History/eduction BUMP!
The problem isn’t idolatry in the Vatican. The problem is the Vatican.

The LCMS is open and waiting...
The Catholic Encyclopedia in 1913 said:
The pope himself, if notoriously guilty of heresy, would cease to be pope because he would cease to be a member of the Church.

There are many salt-of-the-earth folks that need to come out of the RCC (like my family). It has become the haunt of every unclean spirit (Rev18:2)

Absolutely! We escaped the ELCA and are now firmly LCMS. Anyone interested can ask to become a member of cofessionallutherans on FB. youll find interesting conversation there. The natural home for disaffected Catholics should be the LCMS.
“Revelations” is coming to pass before our eyes.
Nothing could be brought in that wasn’t already in people’s hearts first.
We might be to conservative for their taste.
Note, that is a joke.
I do not envy my brothers and sisters in Christ going through this, but you mush chose who you serve. The Triune God or man.
Choose wisely
True except: The Pachamama cult IS the New Reformation. THEY have got to go. We want to keep the church Catholic.
THe problem isn’t the Church. THe problem is the Anti-Church.
Our holy icon to Saint Mother Earth was not worshipped. Just venerated.
And if fellow catholics aren't upset about the colony of gays holding sex and drug parties in the Vatican, why should they object to Saint Mother earth in the vatican?
And if they are not upset about our beautiful satanic architecture, and satanic decorations, why be upset about a holy icon??
Or, I suppose, Presbyterians? THere are are number of split-P’s.
