Think about it: the synod was supposed to be about the Amazon and its indigenous peoples, and the Church's recognition of their religious and cultural elements of their lives.
Of course, the whole bizarre show was a setup by the globalists and modernists now firmly entrenched in the Vatican, and endorsed by pope Francis, to further confuse and weaken an already confused and weakened human element of the Church.
We saw -- and were disgusted by -- wooden statues being "worshipped" by some of those indigenous folks, as well as some clergy?! We are told that we have to be sensitive to their concerns; that we have to "listen" and learn from them -- BUT NOT CONVERT THEM??
By the year 1539, there were nearly 8,000,000 -- that's EIGHT MILLION! -- conversions of the pagan peoples of Mexico to the Catholic Faith!!
That was a mere eight years after the 1531 apparition of Our Lady to St. Juan Diego of Guadalupe, now known as the famous and loved, Our Lady of Guadalupe.
But there were other approved apparitions, or venerated (some miraculous) images of the Mother of God as well, such as Our Lady of Luján, Argentina; Our Lady of Aparecida, Brazil (Our Lady of Aparecida or Virgen de Aparecida is a clay statue was originally found by three fishermen who miraculously caught much fish after invoking the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The statue is currently housed in the Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida, in Aparecida, São Paulo, Brazil. Her feast day is October 12.)
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, Chile (was adopted as the patroness of the army in Chile during their revolutionary war. This Marian devotion has extended all over Latin American and European countries; she is the patroness of the Army and Navy in several of them. The devotion is bound to the history and spiritual values of the Order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel and is expressed through the scapular - a Marian habit or garment that is a sign of belonging to Mary. It is a pledge of her motherly protection, not only in this life but after death. Her feast day is July 16.)
Here are several others...
Our Lady of the Rosary of Chiquinquirá, Colombia (Our Lady of Chiquinquirá or Virgen de Chiquinquirá is a portrait of the Virgin of the Rosary on a rustic piece of cotton cloth recovered miraculously its colors and brightness, after been left careless for years. Her feast day is celebrated on July 9.)
Our Lady of the Angels, Costa Rica (Our Lady of the Angels or Virgen de los Angeles is a small black statuette found by a woman on August 2, 1635. It was believed to be a representation of the Virgin Mary because when she tried to remove the statuette and take it with her, it reappeared twice in the original spot where it had been found. Another version of the story says that the Virgin of Angels appeared to a young girl in the form of the statue and asked the girl to build a church in her honor in the spot where she found it, in Cartago city. Her feast day is August 2 and it is considered a sacred religious holiday for the majority of the population who live in the country.)
Our Lady of Quinche, Ecuador (Our Lady of Quinche or Virgen del Quinche is credited with many miracles and graces after converted Indian venerated her. The image carved in wood. Her feast day is November 21.); Our Lady of Coromoto, Venezuela; (Our Lady of Coromoto or Virgen Coromoto story says that the Virgin Mary appeared twice to the chief of a local tribe, who refused to be baptized to the Catholicism. When he tried to grab her, she vanished, leaving behind a small painting of her. He believed and got converted. In 1942, she was declared the Patroness of Venezuela. Her feast day is September 8.)
(As an interesting aside, not long ago, the President of Brazil consecrated the country to the Immaculate Heart of Mary!!)
This is only a short list; there are many more!!
So, I will repeat the question: Why Wasn't The Blessed Virgin Mary Mentioned At The Amazonian Synod, when entire nations of South America were converted to the Catholic faith, and share a loving devotion to Mary, the Mother of God?
Culpable ignorance, or planned "ignorance"?
Holy Mary, Mother of God (Jesus), pray for us!!!
And pray, too, for our country...
