The ecological display is designed to highlight awareness of ‘climate change’ and is named after the pagan goddess known also as ‘Pachamama.’

COBH, Ireland (LifeSiteNews) – A historic Catholic cathedral in the south of Ireland is currently displaying a giant earth sculpture named after a pagan god of the earth, in an ecological display attempting to “appreciate the complex rhythms of our planet.”

The historic Cobh Cathedral in the Diocese of Cloyne is currently home to a giant sculpture of the earth, named GAIA, designed to highlight awareness of “climate change.” The name GAIA is that of the Greek earth goddess from ancient mythology – a goddess who is also known by the name of “Pachamama” among the Southern American native peoples.

Cobh cathedral is the tallest church in Ireland, and is a prominent religious and geographical landmark, having been designed by the prominent Gothic revival architect Edward Pugin, son of Augustus Pugin.

The GAIA Exhibition, running from June 15 – 26 as part of the Cork Midsummer Festival, consists of the sculpture of the earth held aloft above the pews in the cathedral, in the center of the nave.

JFTR, Cobh (pronounced “Cove”; the name comes from the English word and is a transliteration into Irish Gaelic) was called Queenstown from 1849 to 1920, in honor of Queen Victoria. Was once a major port town for passenger ships bound for the USA; about 2½ million Irish immigrants sailed west between 1848 and 1950, and it was the final port of call for the Titanic before its disaster.

I don’t know how many Catholic priests are speaking out against what’s being done to St. Colman’s Cathedral, but it seems to be not enough.
