Jesuits in Spain go full on pagan praying to Pachamama
The Jesuits of the Spanish Province Pray to Pachamama
The Society of Jesus in Spain, the ever-vigilant vanguard of sustainable Christianity, celebrated Earth Day this year with a spiritual display worthy of the Amazonian liturgical calendar itself. And as could not be otherwise, they have given us a liturgical-poetic gem in the form of a prayer to Mother Earth, to whom they refer—tenderly, of course—as Pachamama.
PRAYER TO MOTHER EARTH
Mother Earth, teach us to love each other as brothers and sisters and to care for you with love. Guide us to give light, to be
radiant like the Sun. Pachamama, Pachamama, we come to thank you for all the riches you give us.
you give us. Receive this offering so that the earth may be good. Thank you Pachamama and good mother.
“Mother Earth, teach us to love one another as brothers and sisters and to care for you with love.”
The prayer, distributed in a beautiful, colorful brochure with the Jesuit Society of Jesus logo, is a complete catechesis of the new ecological dogma. It is no longer about worshipping the Creator, but about venerating creation itself as a tender, fertile, and generous mother… Of course, without mentioning the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit. Lest some spirit “less radiant than the Sun” feel excluded.
The new Trinity: Earth, Video, and NGO
The brochure also includes a couple of videos to encourage “reflection” (note the mental quotation marks). One is from National Geographic and denounces microplastics as “a new threat to health.” The other is a Manos Unidas spot titled “Sharing is our greatest wealth: Economy with soul.” All very touching, very ecological, very secular, very… UN 2030 compatible.
All this, of course, seasoned with images of plants sprouting from human hands and indigenous women in front of multicolored mountains. A perfect aesthetic for praying while looking at the ground and not the sky.
“Receive this offering so that the earth may be good. Thank you, Pachamama and good mother.”
We don't know if this "offering" includes coca leaves or if Bizum transfers are now accepted, but the truth is that the spirituality these Jesuits propose no longer requires Calvary or the Cross. A little compost is enough.
Christ? What Christ?
It's touching how, throughout the entire celebration—strategically dated March 31, the eve of Holy Week—the name of Jesus Christ doesn't appear even once. Of course, Pachamama is mentioned with duplicate affection. And no, this isn't an isolated event: from the Synod for the Amazon to this terracentric liturgy, we are witnessing a true transformation of faith... toward something else.
Let's be clear: it's not that the Society has lost its way. It's that it has changed its compass. It now points south, to the jungle, to the ancestral, to the pantheistic. And with recycled incense, of course.
Editor's note: We pray—to God, the true God, the One who made the Earth and does not need it as a mother—for the conversion of those who have forgotten that the first page of Genesis does not say, "Pachamama created the heavens and the earth."
In 2021, an Argentinian diocese had to withdraw a prayer and apologise
