Brazil's Catholic royalty is condemning the Amazon Synod's final
document as an "enormous conspiracy" of emergent pantheism against
Catholic tradition, Western civilization and the conservative government
of President Jair Bolsonaro. In a scathing attack, His Imperial Highness Prince Dom Bertrand said
that the end product of the synod was not Catholicism, but pantheism
seeking "a complete change of the Roman Catholic apostolic Church and
the Christian civilization that had existed through the Church's
history." "They want to extinguish all the progress that happened in the last
2,000 years thanks to Christian civilization," Dom Bertrand of Orleans
and Braganza asserted in a video statement released Friday.
The traditionalist Catholic royal singled out paragraph 10 for a
blistering critique, arguing that it would threaten Brazil's borders and
the "soul of the Brazilian people," since the document was calling for
"the complete transformation of Brazil and everything related to the
Brazilian population and the indigenous population."
Paragraph 10 claims that "the Amazon today is a wounded and deformed beauty, a place of pain and violence."
Prince Bertrand hits back in the video: "The Amazon is a forest. The
forest doesn't suffer. But this is part of a pantheistic vision that
claims the forest can suffer because nature is Mother Nature or
Pachamama or whatever."
