Cardinal Defends Maya Eucharist: "Christ Did Not Celebrate the Latin Mass"

Cardinal Felipe Arizmendi Esquivel, 84, of San Cristóbal, Mexico, has defended the 'Mayan Eucharist' approved by the Vatican at the beginning of November on DesdeLaFe.mx (26 November).

He has read many criticisms online and has also received personal reactions that a pagan cult and diabolic worship is being introduced into the Eucharist.

The cardinal accuses the critics of "ignorance of the liturgy and the millennial culture of these indigenous peoples": "There is nothing pagan or contrary to the Catholic faith in the approved adaptations".

The Cardinal demonstrates his total ignorance of the liturgy: "Traditionalists would like nothing to be changed in the Mass and to keep the Roman Rite as it was before the Second Vatican Council. But neither Jesus nor the Apostles celebrated with the Tridentine Missal. It is only from the XVI century".

In fact, the Roman Rite is practically unchanged since Gregory the Great, +604, and there are patristic indications that it goes back much further.

For the Cardinal, the Last Supper, which was the Old Testament Passover, is "the best example of inculturation with Jewish ritual signs" - which is nonsense.

He doesn't notice that his cheap polemics against the Holy Mass can be used in the same way against the 'Mayan Rite'.

He was the Sinless Jew who came to destroy the pagan idols who are all demons.

He also didn't play Wheel of Fortune with this horrible monstrosity. This Cardinal is fired . . .

Simon North

He would have been in the seminary during the Faux Council - so his viewpoint shouldn't surprise anyone.

I wish we could see the end of the embarrassing, objectively false historical error that the so-called Tridentine Mass dates to the 16th century.

By which logic, I presume, the mass should be in Aramaic or Hebrew.

How come this 84-year-old geezer is not in a rest home?

Mark Brunini

Difficult to respect people like this cardinal. Christ never celebrated pagan rituals either. Doesn’t mean He accepted them.

All roads lead to Rome.
“Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of the antichrist”.
“The Mexican Episcopal Conference reiterates its commitment to the authentic inculturation of the liturgy, always in communion with the universal Church and under the guidance of the Magisterium.”

Wolves in sheep's clothing. We were warned.

All the Mass rites were derived from the Apostles, who received the Mass at the Last Supper. Latin was the universal language of that day, and the Church consecrated Latin as the official language of the church (Now a dead language that does NOT change). The One, Holy, APOSTOLIC Church contains the verbal teachings of the Apostles (From Jesus teaching them in private) mentioned in the Bible. Then, they were codified in the Catechism. A modern pope does NOT have the authority to produce another rite, a new liturgy. Paul VI and Francis were heretics and schismatics to change the sacraments and teachings of Christ.

Jesus would have followed the Law of Moses regarding Temple rites to a T.

It was probably in Aramaic, but it sure was not PAGAN inspired.

Dr Bobus

The Jewish rites, e.g. Passover, were celebrated in Hebrew.

@Father Karl A Claver
You are right, it was in Aramaic! The Apostles and Saint Paul didn't care about the old Passover ritual when they repeated the ultimate New Rite.
They only extracted the words of consecration from the meal of the Good Thursday: This IS My Body, This Is The Cup Of My Blood. This is the Rite of the New Testament.
Later on, many liturgies were elaborated, but the Mass still consists of the Words of Consecration, and that cannot be changed.

I’m telling you 😐….they’ll be wanting to offer human sacrifice on stone altars with obsidian knives next. Just you wait and see. 😉😎

I suspect that a return to temple prostitutes is what the lavender set hankers for.
