TV celebrity priest hosts pachamama at mass in Spain
by Jules Gomes, Church Militant:
A TV celebrity priest has come under fire for featuring a Pachamama idol in front of the parish altar and permitting Amazon Synod participants to conduct indigenous rituals at his Mass in Menorca, Spain.
Father Antoni Fullana Marquès, chaplain and director of the Catalan TV series Humans and vicar of Sant Antoni Maria Claret parish in Ciudadela, introduced “a group of itinerant missionaries” at the Holy Eucharist last Sunday.
A representation of the “Mother Earth” goddess Pachamama was placed in front of the altar and a bare-chested man wearing a hula skirt and feathers on his head danced around the sanctuary with a coconut oil lamp.
The priest and congregation were asked to stretch out their hands and welcome the “light” into their lives as three other participants perambulated around the altar, one playing a one-stringed musical instrument.
