Catholic Church Called Everyone To Kinship Tribalism At Amazon Synod

By way of the Amazon Synod the Catholic Church is calling everyone to live in a communitarian kinship tribal lifestyle. I support and promote this Catholic mission. I have an article about this missiom. It is titled Pope Francis Preaches Eco-Tribalist/Hippie and New Age Beliefs.

Below there are excerpts from an article whose author is opposed to the Catholic Amazon Synod’s service to the United Nations’ Neo-pagan agenda.

Article: The Church at the Service of the Neo-Pagan Agenda

EXCERPTS:
The working document (Instrumentum laboris) for the coming Extraordinary Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on the Amazon totally opens the gates of the Magisterium to Indian [indigenous peoples’] Theology and Eco-theology, two Latin American derivatives of liberation theology (LT).

After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the failure of “real socialism,” the liberation theology [a type of Catholic theology] advocates in true Marxist fashion attribute the historical role of revolutionary force once represented by the workers to indigenous peoples and nature.

Like LT, the just-released Instrumentum laboris [a papal document] does not base its musings on the Revelation of God in the Bible and Tradition. God is revealed by the supposed “oppression” of the Amazon region by modernity. Thus, from a simple geographical and cultural area, the Amazon region becomes a “privileged interlocutor,” a “theological place,” “an epiphanic place” and a “source of God’s revelation (No. 2, 18 and 19).

From a theological point of view, the Instrumentum laboris recommends the teaching of Indian Theology “in all educational institutions” for “a better and greater understanding of indigenous spirituality.”

Notes on the Unacceptable Philosophy and Theology of Laudato Si’.

In this intercultural dialogue, the Church must also enrich herself with clearly pagan and/or pantheistic elements of beliefs such as “faith in God the Father-Mother Creator,” “relations with ancestors,” “communion and harmony with the earth” (No. 121) and connection with “the various spiritual forces” (No. 13).

Citing a document from Bolivia, the Instrumentum laboris states that, “the forest is not a resource to be exploited, it is a being or more beings with which to relate” (No. 23).

The document continues by stating that “The life of the Amazon communities still unaffected by the influence of Western civilization, is reflected in the beliefs and rituals regarding the action of spirits, of the divinity – called in so many names – with and in the territory, with and in relation to nature. This cosmo-vision is summarized in the ‘mantra’ of Francis: ‘everything is connected’” (No. 25).

My (Thomas Ivan Dahlheimer) comment: "By way of the Amazon Synod the Catholic Church is calling everyone to communitarian kinship tribalism."

From the socio-economic point of view, the Instrumentum laboris is an apology for communism, disguised as “communitarianism.” Moreover, it is the worst form of communism: the collectivism of small communities. According to the document, the aborigines’ [who live a kinship tribal communitarian lifestyle] experience of “good living” (sumak kawsay) assumes that “there is an intercommunication between the whole cosmos, in which no one excludes or is excluded.”

The explanatory note on the indigenous word refers to a declaration by various indigenous entities titled “The Cry of the Sumak Kawsay in Amazonia.” The statement claims that the word “is an oldest and newest Word” (with a capital W signifying a Divine Revelation) which proposes “a communitarian lifestyle with one and the same FEELING, THINKING AND ACTING” (capital letters also from the original).

This phrase calls to mind the 1976 denunciation of Plinio Corręa de Oliveira that denounced indigenous tribalism as a new and even more radical stage of the Anarchist Revolution.
