Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience...
Ephesians 2:2
"During the first full day of his visit with Canada’s Indigenous
communities, Pope Francis attended a “healing dance” that appeared to
direct worship to “Mother Earth.”....the Master of Ceremonies for the event explained that a “healing dance”
was about to occur, while outlining that the drum involved is “the
heartbeat of Mother Earth, the drum is life .”
Francis, along with four Indigenous Chiefs donning traditional
headdresses and garb, sat on a stage slightly above the dance, giving
them a view of the happenings. The MC for the event spoke about the importance of the number “four” as
the ritual continued, referencing the “elements,” the “four directions,”
the “four stages of life” and the “four living life forms.....Mother Earth is all the plant life, Mother Earth, our mother, is also
the mother of all insect life, Mother Earth is also the mother of all
animals on the ground, in the water, in the air.”....this is not the first time Francis has attended or participated in what seems to be pagan-styled worship."
