The "Pachamama pope" Bergoglio recently underwent rectum surgery, and although the Vatican wasn't too specific about the procedure, he apparently had some blockage freed up. No sooner than he emerged he proceeded to ban the traditional Latin mass (TLM) - which among faithful cathylicks was about as popular as pornstar Brandi Love showing up at a Republican TPUSA conference.
Amongst Saved® Christians the "Latin" mass with its incomprehensible mumbling sounded like it was trying to bring about the zombie apocalypse. If you have any doubts about this, take a look at Republican Newt Gingrich's latest wife - who lured him away from his Baptist faith to the Vatican II papists.
Bergoglio also continues to anger the Indian Hindaloos with the "Indian rite" Mass. If you're adventuresome, you can click on the link below to see an image of Mary holding the blue elephant god Ganesh in swaddling clothes as if it were the baby Jesus.
It's hard to say what Jesus is planning, another round of Covid as punishment for this outrage - and I'm reminded that these dot-heads also have nuclear weapons.

Francis Won’t Abolish ‘Hindu Rite’ Eucharist
by Jules Gomes - ChurchMilitant.com - July 20, 2021
Vatican-approved liturgy using Sanskrit fuels caste divisions in India
BENGALURU, India (ChurchMilitant.com) - Pope Francis isn't likely to abrogate the Vatican-approved "Indian rite" Mass even though it uses Sanskrit, has intensified caste divisions among Catholics, and sparked discord between Hindus and Catholics, Church Militant has learned.
Indian Catholics are asking if Francis will cancel the syncretic Hinduized liturgy after the pontiff issued his motu proprio Traditionis Custodes imposing draconian restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) blaming it for triggering division in the Church.
Multiple clerical and lay sources in prominent positions told Church Militant that the so-called Indian rite Mass was a syncretic and heretical "Hindu rite" liturgy which was offensive and alienating to Catholics from low caste and untouchable backgrounds.
Hindus have also denounced the Vatican and the Indian Catholic hierarchy for permitting the Hindu rite Mass and plagiarizing, misappropriating and altering "every component of Hindu culture and life" in the name of inculturation and indigenization.
Hindu/Indian rite 'Scourge'
"I was shocked to read Pope Francis' motu proprio restricting the Extraordinary Form (TLM) of the Mass," lamented Michael Prabhu, author of Medications and Mediations in the New Age: A Compendium of New Age Deceptions and Corresponding Church Teachings.
"Instead, Francis needed to ban the syncretized Hindu/Indian rite Mass that has been a scourge in my country for five decades. Our complicit bishops and clergy are not going to urge him to do so," Prabhu told Church Militant.
The Hinduized Mass is heretical, he explained, because "instead of Indian culture being influenced by the gospel, elements of Hindu rituals and art forms have been incorporated into the Roman Novus Ordo liturgy, bastardizing it beyond recognition."
On April 25, 1969, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments authorized Indian bishops to include elements from Brahmanical Hinduism and create an "Indian rite Mass."
The Brahmins are the highest caste of Hindu priests and perform rituals in Sanskrit — the sacred language of Hinduism. Despite complaints from faithful Catholics, including repeated pleas from researchers like Prabhu, the Vatican has never abrogated the 1969 edict.
While modernist bishops and theologians have promoted the Hindu Mass in seminaries, houses of formation, religious institutes, ashrams, and retreat centers, the hierarchy has fiercely resisted requests for the TLM despite pleas from lay Catholic groups.
"It is shocking to hear the serious deformations of the liturgy taking place in India in the name of inculturation," Dr. Joseph Shaw, chairman of the Latin Mass Society of England and Wales told Church Militant.
Pleas For Latin Mass Ignored
As secretary of Una Voce International, Shaw noted, "I have also heard from Catholics in the country who have been campaigning for more than a decade to be allowed celebrations of the TLM, and the bishops have been extremely reluctant to allow this."
According to the Latin Mass directory, there are only nine churches offering the TLM in a country where the Catholic population is estimated at 20 million. Churches offering the TLM are exclusively in the state of Tamil Nadu and in the megalopolis of Bombay (Mumbai).
Under Traditionis Custodes, the TLM will no longer be permitted in "parochial churches" and the bishop is "to take care not to authorize the establishment of new groups," effectively ending the TLM in India.
"It is mystifying that the Indian hierarchy will allow liturgical practices clearly in breach of the Church's discipline and tradition, but not the Mass that formed the historical basis of the Latin rite Catholic communities in India for centuries," Shaw observed.
'Spiritual Emancipation' Rites
Indian Dalits (untouchables) are now urging Pope Francis to permit Dalit Catholics and priests to have their own "Dalit rite" Mass with all faculties under the direct control of the Holy See following the model of India's Syro-Malabar and Syro-Malankara rites.
Even "in the Indian Latin, Syro-Malabar and Syro-Malankara rites, brahminical forms like Bharata Natyam, the Karagam water pot carrying dance, and decorated Kumbam water pot submission are included in the Mass," Franklin Caesar Thomas, coordinator of the National Council of Dalit Christians (NCDC) told Church Militant.
"That is why Dalit Catholics want to have their own discrimination-less indigenous rite under the direct control of the pope, so they can have their own bishops and spiritual and social emancipation," Thomas emphasized.
The Hindu rite liturgy also continues to divide conservative and liberal Catholics since, all its "liturgical rituals, art forms and architecture have been adapted from the majority religion, which is Hinduism," Prabhu writes in his 600-page book.
The Vatican's approval came a month after 51 out of 71 bishops had approved the new rite, despite 30% of the bishops rejecting it. The Liturgical Commission page of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India (CCBI) maintains: "The liturgical renewal launched by the Conference and the late Fr. Amalorpavadass needs to be reached to the people and the clergy."
Fr. Amalorpavadass, a theologian and founder of Anjali Ashram, was a key figure behind the creation and promotion of the Hindu rite Mass. Prabhu said that a 2016 CCBI directive urged that "the celebration of the 'Order of Mass for India' is not to be continued," but "there is no other evidence to substantiate their statement."
Idolatry, Eucharistic Profanation
An Indian anaphora, pregnant with Hindu theology, was approved by a Catholic bishops' meeting in Madras in April 1972, receiving 60 votes out of 80 bishops present. Again, 25% of the bishops voted against it.
"The '12 Points' were undoubtedly a grave fraud perpetrated on the faithful of the Church in India by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) and their insidiously evil tool, the National, Biblical, Catechetical and Liturgical Centre (NBCLC) in Bangalore," argues Prabhu.
The Hindu Mass often includes verses from the Hindu scriptures like the mantra Om and the chanting in Sanskrit of the vedic Pavamana mantra from the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upanishad as well as the Gayatri mantra from the Rig Veda.
Bhajans (Indian choruses) are sung by a congregation squatting on the floor with the celebrant wearing an Indian shawl and an angavastram (stole). The bhajans are sung in Indian languages and in Sanskrit — the latter directly adopted from Hindu equivalents.
The Vatican permitted the use of "aarti" — a Hindu liturgical rite in which camphor flames, flowers and joss sticks are offered to the deity by means of a clockwise rotation while standing before an idol.
The five camphor lights symbolize the five elements of earth, air, fire, water and the ether — representing the totality of the cosmos in Hindu theology. The ceremonial is also used to welcome an important personality or guest, since in monistic Hinduism the whole of creation is one single principle of divinity.
"Here we have a purely Hindu ceremony introduced," writes Victor J. F. Kulanday in his book The Paganized Catholic Church in India.
Bishop of Belgaum Derek Fernandes provoked backlash from Catholics and Hindus in 2019 after he celebrated the Holy Eucharist using saffron robes worn by Hindu priests before a tabernacle in the form of a Shivalinga — the phallus of the Hindu god Shiva, Church Militant reported.
