[Michie]

The much anticipated Mayan rite of the Mass will be implemented in certain parts of Mexico, and contains a number of element drawn from pagan, indigenous culture. A draft of the rite seen previously by LifeSite highlights the pagan theology underpinning the actions.

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — The Vatican has approved the Mayan rite of the Mass which will involve ritual dancing, women taking the place of the priest in incensing the altar, and lay leadership of certain prayers in the liturgy.

The announcement came via Cardinal Felipe Arizmendi Esquivel, who is bishop emeritus of the San Cristobal de Las Casas diocese in Mexico and one of the leading promoters of this new rite.

Writing in his weekly column November 13, Arizmendi joyfully revealed that the Vatican’s Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments has “with the authority of the Pope, on November 8 of this year, granted the long-awaited recognitio of some liturgical adaptations for the celebration of the Holy Mass in the Tseltal, Tsotsil, Ch’ol, Tojolabal, and Zoque ethnic groups of the diocese of San Cristóbal de Las Casas.”

Yikes! This doesn’t sound good. I don’t know what to think, quite frankly.

"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first.....at that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other; and because of the increase of lawlessness, the love of many will grow cold."
(2 Thessalonians 2:3; Matthew 24:10,13)

2 Timothy 3:5 "having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 5 They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!"

The Pope is drifting further and further from the Truth.

It makes me sick, too. There is no place for this kind of syncretism in the Church. Next thing you know, they'll want to offer blood sacrifices to "Christlcoatl".

A “Mayan Mass” and the Dialectic of Racism

The website The Communist defines Dialectical Materialism as the Marxist attempt "to understand the laws of society and nature in order to change them." For most countries in which Communism was briefly "successful" (and by "successful" I mean killing tens of millions of their own citizens...

The liberal priest who married my husband and myself used to have dancers in some kind of Aztec looking clothes dance up and down the aisles of the church during Mass. He also tried to make a nun give a homily. I used to wonder why he was even a priest because he was always trying to up-end things.

There are some priests who also use Native American tribal music and dancing as well.

The only reason I can think to introduce a radically different religion into the Mass is to try to undermine it.

Would it be appropriate at the foot of the cross or the last supper?

Indian and native elements don’t belong in the Holy Mass. period.

That's what I'm saying. It's wrong to bring anything to the alter other than the fullness of the Catholic faith.

AMEN! We have the fullness of truth. Paganism is idolatry

I went to the Vatican website and could not find anything about a Mayan Liturgical Rite.

Yet, Lifesitenews is reporting all the details. Go figure!
