Well, I'm glad to hear that such a devout Christian as yourself, George, felt unease with the selection of pope Francis. I'm no longer a practising catholic and since the day of selection have thought Francis to be an evil snake. It's not the first time the church has been called into question on it's actions and won't be the last.
Pachumama does refer to the earth mother or nature that south Americans refer to. I spent a month in Peru a few years ago and while they are very much Christians, the people live by 3 rules - Live, Love & Reciprocity. It's an incredibly spiritual country and pachumama is at the centre. Look after the earth and each other and all will be reciprocated.
Francis - totally evil man. Satan's pawn. I think it is highly likely that his successor will be worse.
Biblical commentators from past centuries have concluded that Papal Rome will be 'wiped out' - severely judged. From what I have 'learned' I have come to understand that everything to do with Papal Rome is Satan's counterfeit and has been from the beginning. I am sad for those (Catholics) who truly believe that the Catholic Church is the 'one true church'. Utterly deceived.
Thank you for this very interesting read, I wasn't aware of much of that information. But how can we expect an uncorrupted Pope, when the papacy itself is an anti biblical made-up doctrine? - if I'm not mistaken the Church claims the Pope is infallable, and one Pope, I beleive, even claimed to be God! Where did we think this would lead? Unfortunately the Catholic church is full to the brim of antibiblical made-up doctrines, rituals and rites, the supposed immaculate conception of Mary, praying to Mary and the Saints, transubstantiation to name only a few. Why is the Pope's auditorium shaped like a serpent? And what exactly is the Jesuit role in...everything? For most Catholics I know, it is all about the ritual. It is the 'Catholic faith'. You become a 'Catholic' more than a 'Christian'. I am encouraged George that you are a Catholic who sees themselves as a Christian first, and understands that Jesus Christ is the centre of this story.
This priest from Old St. Patrick's Church in Cardinal Cupich's Diocese of Chicago allowed a gay couple to give a homily for Father's Day. The diocese has refused to respond to complaints.
And locally, a dear friend of mine, who is a devout Catholic, has not attended church for years and years because of one day, when she went to Church and a MUSLIM was preaching at the pulpit! Right here in Mackay.
George there is something that Christians can do at this moment and that is to pray. One of the defining attributes of Christianity is answered prayer. It was a recommendation by the Lord him self in John 14:13. But not just a general prayer like 'bless this enclave' which is a bit like a shotgun prayer which might hit something but is not a knock out hit like a sniper rifle.
So my suggestion is to ask the Lord how to pray strategically into this situation and allow (I mean expect) the Holy Spirit to direct you. The direction may come as a thought or perhaps a suggestion from an article or a conversation. Do not make the answer have to be religious we spend most of our time in the ordinary mundane passage of life and that is where God speaks to us if we take the time to listen.
My wife and I spend time most days trying to be led by the Holy Spirit in praying for our family, church, community and nation we pray that the plans and strategies of the evil one be confused and fail as well as praying specific blessings on people in leadership all all levels of society. We have pages of notes and directions that we use to have prayer plans. And yes we have seen miraculous answers to prayer over the decades that we have been doing this.
Even though we are not Catholics they are our brethren and we will be praying that the new pope will be God's choice not man's choice and that the Lord will give us strategic insight on how to pray for that to be accomplished.
I read the bible years ago, through curiosity, since i was an abused child and had a stint in a 'boys home' for 'wayward' children. I had three books to help explain what i didn't understand, which was a lot of it at first. If, you have read the Bible, it says that there is only one God, not dozens, one, so, i have never understood why there is so many different religions, and, people like Jim and Tammy Baker, running around telling a totally different story. I also remember back in the early 90's, when a priest got done for been a pedo, and of course, the Catholic church paid up, and, he was off the hook. Then, the next thing i heard was, the Catholic church had taken out a $10b insurance policy to pay up for any more of these pedo's, when, and, if, they got caught. Yes, i said 'Billion', and thought at the time, that this had to be joke, but, it wasn't. And now, we find out just how grubby thing's in that establishment really are, and lets all pray, the next one of these, whatever you want to call them, is kept in check, and, how.
I met born again Catholics in Europe. In Poland Catholic church estimates that among 10 million church members 200,000 describe themselves as born again.
I know few prophecies which said that newborn Catholics will be among the most prosecuted Christians in the world soon.
Our fight is not against flesh and blood (governments, false churches, globalists, big Pharma, etc)
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Eph 6:12). And we are using not physical strength, but full armour of God, mainly sword of the Spirit (word of God) and shield of faith (Eph 6:13-18).
And in Jesus Christ we have always victory. Without Him we are losers. Amen
I’m not a Catholic but I agree and although as Christians we know that the days will grow dark perhaps before the return of Christ I’m still resisting the dark- our world really has become upside down and I’m frightened for my children and their children- can trust only in God

As Derek Prince commented - 'corruption cannot be reversed. It may be stayed for a while, but then continues on.'
Francis was an evil, evil man. A son of Satan. This isn't a bad video. Look up the claims. They are ALL true.

Interfaith is NOT Faith!

The Catholic Church is EVIL.
