Recently during the Amazonian Synod, 5 statues of the the Pachamama idol, the earth mother goddess, revered by the Amazonian people, were placed in a Chapel of the Carmelite Church of Santa Maria in Transportina, Rome.
On October 21, these statues were taken and thrown into the Tiber River.
This action was received with great joy by many Catholics, and statements of condemnation from the Vatican and Pope Francis.
What are we to make of this event?
How about us? Do we have any Pachamamas in our lives?
