THE MINUTELLA’S FLOP STORY AS TOLD BY A BISHOP FROM BRAZIL. IN THE APPENDIX AN EXPLANATION BY THE BISHOP OF SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS ON THE FAKE NEWS OF THE PACHAMAMA VENERATED IN THE VATICAN

Pachamama is not a deity or goddess, is an allegorical mythological figure, like those figures of which classical Greek and Latin literature is full, but in front of which certain characters do not seem to feel uncomfortable. Perhaps because mythologies and allegories of the ancient Greeks and Latins are culture, while mythologies and allegories of our peoples are the stuff of idolatrous pagan savages?»

The author of this private letter that the person concerned has allowed me to make public in the times and forms indicated by him is a dear Brazilian brother of mine with whom I lived in Rome at the time of ecclesiastical studies.. Appointed years later auxiliary bishop, after other years he was promoted to a metropolitan archbishopric in Brazil.

.

Dearest Father Ariel,

a te, and to the confreres who carry out the meritorious work The Island of Patmos, that many of us read by drawing information, food for thought and comfort: pace, thanks and blessings from God.

.

The Bishops of this region of mine were informed of the presence of Mr.. Alessandro Maria Minutella, Italian presbyter excommunicated and discharged from the clerical state, in stay in our country. Having assessed the phenomenon, we deemed it not to issue any press release. I'll explain why: such a subject cannot have any hold on our faithful, especially in those who for various reasons declare themselves dissatisfied with our local Churches and with us their Bishops. Being you a cultured man, polyglot, who studies language and different cultures, you know that approaching the people of a country like ours implies knowing its history, traditions, customs and traditions.

.

Remember when we lived in Rome in an international priestly house, how carefully we have tried to learn to deal with and have human and fraternal relationships with Chinese people, Koreans, Vietnamese and other brothers from totally different mental habits from what might have been ours, your Italian, mine of Brazilian? In greater Brazil there is no single culture that characterizes our people, this can happen in countries like France, Germany, England. With us there are many cultures held together on the great geographical territory of our nation made up of 26 States that form the Federal Republic of Brazil, with a common language that was given to us by the Portuguese, because until the end of the 16th century many dozen indigenous languages ​​were spoken. This is to say that this colorful character presented himself as an extraterrestrial from another planet, unaware of the customs, of the traditions and psychological complexity of our populations, and therefore doomed to total failure. Aware of this, we Bishops could have given him with a communiqué the publicity that he would never have had?

.

In the video documents you sent me and that I have listened carefully, this agitated Lord talks about things like "liberation theology" and "modernism". He obviously does not know that the majority of our faithful do not really know what liberation theology is. To find connoisseurs you have to go to theological studies and talk to experts. Then saying to a faithful Brazilian "modernism" or "modernist heresy" is equivalent to pronouncing an incomprehensible word. If this Lord wants to talk about modernism condemned by Pope Saint Pius X, he must go and discuss with our historians and our ecclesiologists, who are a few educated and experienced people. He cannot even talk about it with the priests of ordinary training, only with educated historians and theologians.

.

After talking about unknown concepts such as "liberation theology" and "modernist heresy", this Lord made more references to Pachamama, ignoring the locals where he stayed (Ed. Sao Paulo of Brazil) they don't know Pachamama, which he confused with the Brazilian indigenous culture. If he had talked about the protagonist of Mission impossible o di Matrix, they would have understood it. But above all it is wrong and false to attribute to the indigenous peoples of our Amazon the "creation" and "cult" of Pachamama, because it is an ancient mythological figure of the Peruvian Inca, then spread among the various Andean populations. Pachamama is not a deity or goddess, is an allegorical mythological figure, like those figures of which classical Greek and Latin literature is full, but in front of which certain characters do not seem to feel uncomfortable. Perhaps because mythologies and allegories of the ancient Greeks and Latins are culture, while mythologies and allegories of our peoples are the stuff of idolatrous pagan savages? Christianity of the first centuries, perhaps it did not develop by inculturating and Christianizing many ancient uses, customs and symbols that originally belonged to the pagans? We don't have maybe, you and I, Holy Mass celebrated several times in Roman basilicas whose original structure was that of the ancient pagan temples?

.

An Italian gentleman who arrives in our country and gathers 20 people is not a problem but something that does not exist. We are used to evangelical preachers, Pentecostals and various other sects whose gatherings they flock to 1.000 people when attendance is low. The famous ones gather 20.000/30.000 people and sending the preaching live on social where they are followed by 100.000/ 200.000 people.

.

You told me that this Lord it will continue to Uruguay and Argentina. If this is his style he will have less following yet. For our people, a Lord who, as the videos document, comes to explain that the legitimate Pontiff has been invalidly elected, who, not speaking our national languages, uses non-professional translators who do not understand his confused concepts already difficult to understand in Italian, it will not be taken into consideration even by the simplest, let alone educated people!

.

You know the great love I have for Italy and how proud I am to have studied in Rome, but I was unaware that there could be subjects like this Lord, I would have expected it elsewhere, not in your country, however, where the most educated and educated clergy in the whole world continue to exist.

.

Yup, I allow you to make my letter public, but I ask you three things. First, do not put my name because unfortunately it would imply the involvement of my Diocese and this I cannot and must not do. Second, wait for this Lord to leave Brazil, then publish it as well. Third, correct my text, like when you revised my doctoral thesis many years ago, because if at that time I made mistakes in writing in Italian, which is not my mother tongue, now that I no longer speak Italian on a daily basis like when I was in Rome my writing has certainly deteriorated.

.

A fraternal hug, you know that I am always waiting for you and that I am counting on your visit to Brazil. There are those who say that these are difficult moments for the Church, honestly I ask myself and I ask you too: when the Church has lived easy moments?

Pray for me!

Letter Signed
