Mother Earth: Catholic Church's Emerging Acceptance Of New Age Spirituality

The Roman Catholic Bishops conference of Italy published a prayer to Mother Earth in April 2019. The conference did this with a special focus on the Amazon synod which occurred in October 2019. This breakthrough is being equated with the Catholic Church's emerging acceptance of both, indigenous people's and New Age spirituality.

The National Catholic Register and EWTN, an American-based, global television network, are, together, promoting a two-Bishops lead vile campaign against Pope Francis and the direction that the Amazon synod is taking the church. In a National Catholic Reporter article title Amazon synod has set Pope Francis' professional haters on edge ," its author, Michael Winters, wrote: Cardinal Raymond Burke and Kazakhstan Auxiliary Bishop Athanasius Schneider were leading a "campaign" against the pope and the Amazon synod's working document. Mr. Winters also wrote: In this internet age, an auxiliary bishop from Kazakhstan can make a splash, but the particular vehicle for Burke's and Schneider's vile insinuations is the National Catholic Register, an arm of EWTN.

Traditionalist Catholic, Michael Matt, editor of the conservative Catholic publication, The Remnant Newspaper, is a prominent member of the Burke and Schneider lead vile campaign. In a video by Mr. Matt titled "POPE SACHS CHURCH: Vatican Embraces United Nations Goals" there is a picture of John Lennon and Pope Francis together, with the words "Imagine THAT" displayed next to them, indicating that the Amazon synod (as Matt says in the video) helps the Church promote its global agenda to fulfill Lennon's (in general) vision, as presented in the lyrics of the Beatles' song Imagine. Matt also produced a video titled: Hippies in the Vatican: A Groovy Kind of Synod.

The leading Protestant opponents of the New Age are making the same - hippie New Age spiritual philosophy - connection as Matt is, to a prophesied "coming era," that will be ("if conservative Christians cannot stop it") ushered in by the pope and the United Nations.

Fr. Mitchael Pacwa, a renowned expert on the New Age, condemned what he believed to be idolatry at the Amazon synod on his weekly program on EWTN. He talked about the indigenous people's 'Pachamama' (Mother Earth) "idols" that were praised and blessed at the Synod on the Amazon. He also said: "The bishops conference of Italy published a prayer to Pachamama." Concerning the thinking that influenced the publication of this Inca prayer to Mother Earth, he said: "This is New Age like thinking that goes back to the 1970s."

Wikipedia says: "From a historical perspective, the New Age phenomenon is rooted in the counterculture of the 1960s." The Beatles' promotion of Hinduism, according to Wikipedia, "kick-started the Human Potential Movement that subsequently became New Age." The 1960s counterculture, as stated by Wikipedia, "used the terms New Age and Age of Aquarius to refer to a coming era."

In the early 1970s, I prophesied to family and friends that the Roman Catholic Church was going to accept the hippie spiritual philosophy. I believe that it is all coming together now, just as I predicted

News: The internationally renowned spiritual theologian, Episcopal priest and eco-theologian, Reverend Matthew Fox, presents Daily Meditation (DM) Facebook postings. On Rev. Fox's December 10, 2019 (DM) Facebook post he presents a 173 word reply comment to my comment, which is a presentation of the above article. This article/comment of mine that is posted on Fox's Facebook site has an introductory sentence that reads: If the Roman Catholic Church would recognize the existence of Mother Earth, and then show respect and love for her, this, I believe, would help heal the world.

In Michael Matt's Sep. 23, 2019, video titled ECO-SOCIALISM: Francis & the Amazon Schism Mr. Matt says in the 6:45 to 7:42 section of the video that Pope Francis's theology "is like the theology by John Lennon." A part of the Beatles' song Imagine is then played. Mr. Matt then says the pope and his advisers are "like old hippies, they are like a bunch of old hippies who still think Imagine is cool." And then a little later in the video Matt says that "the Jesus that Pope Francis talks about is the Jesus of the New Age." So, Matt evidently believes that Pope Francis has a hippie New Age theology.

Mr. Matt uses a segment of a video by the co-founder of the Pachamama Alliance, Lynne Twist, to confirm his belief that the Pachamama (Mother Earth) Movement, including the Amazon synod, is about being, as stated by Twist, (1.) "a hospice to the death of the old structures and systems that no long serve us" (Matt believes that Twist is including the Catholic Church here), and (2.) a "midwife," to help them give birth to their emerging new structures and systems that will serve us. (An article of mine on this topic is titled, Global Paradigm Change.)

The Amazon synod's final document mentions mother earth three times. "The wisdom of ancestral peoples affirms that Mother Earth has a female face." Nature itself is treated as a person in the document. Twice, in the document, the "rights of nature" are recognized.

Google has my definition of the "hippie New Age spiritual philosophy" placed on the very top of its list of information about this topic.

"A special United Nations event was recently held in celebration of 'The Spirit of the United Nations.' Open to all U.N. staff and Non-Governmental Organizations, the program featured an opening 'blessing song on behalf of indigenous peoples,' an expression to 'thanks to Mother Earth.' And a special rendition of the former Beatle John Lennon's song, 'Imagine,' was played to those gathered at this event." This quote is from an article of mine tilted "UN, Natives And Hippies Unite To Save The World."

what i think its accepting, what this pope is accepting, which its taken most of a thousand years for churchianity of either flavour to figure out, is the scientific realities of both the biological envirnoment and how the physical universe actually works.
