“This is the new catechism of ecclesiastical voluntarism: truth is not what Christ revealed, what the apostles handed down, or what every pope and saint defended. It’s whatever the current man in the chair says, right now, even if he said the opposite yesterday.”
If Francis said it, it’s true, even when it wasn’t, and still isn’t, and also never happened
In October 2019, the Vatican hosted a pagan ritual in its own garden. Statues of Pachamama (naked, pregnant fertility idols) were prostrated before, processed into synod halls, and placed in a Roman church where people bowed before them on the floor. Francis not only attended, he blessed the event, and later publicly apologized; not for his own idolatry, but when a layman threw the idols into the Tiber.
We have video. We have transcripts. We have Vatican confirmation. We even have Francis calling them by name: Pachamama.
The Idol That Wasn’t There… Until It Was
The initial reaction from Francis’s defenders followed a predictable arc:
“It’s not Pachamama.”
“Okay, it is Pachamama, but it wasn’t idolatry.”
“Even if it was idolatry, it was beautiful and pastoral.”
“And if you object, you’re the real problem.”
Now in 2025, we’ve reached stage five:
“That never happened. You’re crazy.”
But it did happen:
Oct 4, 2019: A ritual was held in the Vatican Gardens featuring Pachamama statues. Francis watched and blessed it. Attendees bowed to the ground in a circle around the idol.
Oct 7: The statues were placed in St. Peter’s Basilica. Francis prayed before them.
Oct 21: A layman removed the idols from the Carmelite Church near the Vatican and threw them into the Tiber.
Oct 25: Francis apologized—not for the ritual, but for the offense caused by their removal. He called them Pachamama. He confirmed they were recovered and stored safely by Italian police.
Feb 2020: In Querida Amazonia, Francis wrote that we shouldn’t be too quick to call such symbols pagan or superstitious and that indigenous myths can “be used to advantage.”
You saw it. You weren’t wrong. But you’re now being told you were.
